Summary
Why do supplements that help others make you feel terrible? Why isn't your "healthy" diet working? Your DNA holds the answers. In this episode of Midlife Conversations, I talk with Kashif Khan, author of "The DNA Way," about how our unique genetic code determines our health outcomes in midlife. After overcoming five chronic diseases by aligning his lifestyle with his genetics, Kashif now helps others decode their DNA to prevent illness rather than just predict it.
Discover why cholesterol might actually be a healing tool, how exercise affects people differently based on their genetics, and why your body's stress response could be aging you faster. Learn how understanding your genetic blueprint can transform your approach to nutrition, exercise, and stress management—potentially reversing biological aging in the process.
