| 0:00.0 | The part of your brain that allows you to experience trauma, stress, and anxiety is the exact part of your brain where you experience gratitude and forgiveness. |
| 0:07.9 | And your brain is it's impossible. You can't do both at the same time. |
| 0:10.9 | And you said something earlier that I think is also an important distinction. You said, who am I versus a lot of people go, well, that's just how I am. |
| 0:18.4 | Yes. So if you're in a state of gratitude, your brain literally cannot experience trauma or anxiety or stress. So one of the things we teach people easier said than none takes work, but it's very, very doable, is you can't forgive the thing that happened. Yeah. But you can have gratitude for the shift in your trajectory based all my money, right? The same thing to the depression leads to their greatness. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. You know, when it comes to health and wellness, so many of us tend to fight our genetics. We just don't know better. We think, oh, I have good genes or bad genes in certain areas and navigate our health with a sense of certainty. But what if we got it wrong? |
| 0:54.9 | My guest today challenges these notions by encouraging patients to work with their genetics |
| 0:59.4 | instead of against them. |
| 1:01.2 | With a commitment to wellness and a background in biotechnology, he co-founded the DNA |
| 1:05.7 | company, Canada, and has devoted much of his career to helping everyday folks like you and I to learn more about |
| 1:12.6 | our ancestors so we can figure out ourselves. He's been his own guinea pig, even healed himself, |
| 1:18.0 | and is here today to help share the wealth of knowledge that he's acquired on everything from |
| 1:23.3 | DNA, inflammation, longevity, and so much more. Please welcome Kashif Khan. |
| 1:49.7 | Kashif Khan, welcome to the show. Thank you for coming this way. Pleasure. We've spoken before, but this is the first time in person. Yeah, it was all online, but it was a different time when everything was online. It's true, right? Yeah. Yeah. And you've been doing a lot. I really appreciate, I'm like, oh, he's getting into the, he's figured out the algorithm. I really appreciate that you're out there putting out a lot of information, but for you, I want |
| 1:55.2 | to start with your own story which led you into your genetic research company because I found it fascinating. |
| 2:02.6 | And I've seen where a lot of people that get into things, it's because they had to solve a |
| 2:06.1 | problem for themselves. |
| 2:07.3 | And I guess it's always the best. |
| 2:09.9 | Yeah. |
| 2:10.1 | And you'll see in the functional medicine world in general, this is always the story. |
| 2:14.2 | Somebody was failed by modern medicine. |
| 2:16.1 | Not that modern medicine fails everybody but when |
| 2:19.3 | you're trying to find root cause it's difficult the toolkit doesn't apply right and so same thing |
