Summary

For decades, we’ve been told that our DNA is a fixed blueprint—an unchangeable code that dictates our health and lifespan. But what if that’s only half the story?

Sharon Hausman-Cohen, a physician, researcher, and genomics expert at IntellxxDNA, joins Dave to reveal the cutting-edge science of genetic optimization—how understanding your DNA can unlock longer life, better brain function, and even protection from chronic disease.

Forget the old-school genetic reports that left you with useless percentages. The new frontier of precision genomics goes beyond risk factors to actionable insights, showing you exactly how to turn on your body’s most powerful longevity genes and turn off the pathways driving inflammation, cognitive decline, and disease.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why genetics alone don’t determine your future—and how to use epigenetics to control your health

• The truth about MTHFR, APOE4, and other “bad” genes—are they actually harming you?

• How genetic reports can predict and eliminate brain fog, fatigue, and pain

• The hidden genetic reasons behind ADHD, depression, and anxiety—and how to fix them

• Why some people age faster—and the one longevity gene that determines your biological age

• Cutting-edge breakthroughs in DNA-based biohacking—is it possible to edit your genes for peak performance?

This is the future of personalized medicine. By understanding your own genetic blueprint, you can stop guessing and start making the precise changes that will optimize your energy, brainpower, and lifespan!

0:00.0	The breakthrough that's happened in the field of genomics in the last 10 years is realizing that chronic diseases,
0:07.5	cognitive decline, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, anxiety, autism, they're not because of one gene.
0:15.7	You can use your genomics to determine, do they have problems with getting enough blood flow to the brain? And even
0:21.7	within that, is it because they don't make enough nitric oxide or is it because they're
0:25.8	hypercoagulable? Do they have mitochondrial membrane issues? Do they have issues with transporting
0:31.2	coline? Your DNA holds the blueprint for your health. And Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen is the
0:36.1	scientist decoding it.
0:42.8	Harvard-trained physician, 25 years in integrative medicine, co-founder and chief medical officer of Intel XDNA, the precision genomics tool unlocking the future of personalized health.
0:48.2	This particular genes involved in a couple of things. These are the kinds of things that you
0:52.2	can learn about using Intellics DNA.
0:55.5	She's not just studying the science.
0:57.3	She's rewriting the playbook.
1:03.3	From cognitive decline to cardiometabolic disease, autism to the so-called unsolvable cases.
1:06.6	Her work is helping top physicians crack the code on root cause medicine.
1:08.2	Now we're using intellects.
1:10.0	It gives me a more targeted approach.
1:15.6	We are able to really get to the core. and the breath of what Intelix DNA provides.
1:17.2	Intelx DNA isn't just a tool.
1:17.9	It's a revolution.
1:23.1	Dr. Hausman-Kohen's research is fueling cutting-edge studies, including those led by Dr. Dale Bredesen,
1:25.5	proving that DNA-driven medicine isn't the future.
1:26.5	It's happening now.
