Description

Have you ever wondered why you eat a healthy diet but can’t lose weight? Or maybe you’re curious about what steps you should take to prevent disease, slow aging, and perform at your best. The answers lie in the 22,000 genes that make up your genetic code. In this informative episode of Ask the Health Expert, JJ speaks with Kashif Khan. Khan is CEO of the DNA Company, where unique insights into the human genome pioneer personalized medicine. Here, Khan discusses how your unique DNA can become your personal roadmap to living healthily. Listen as he shares his personal story about how being sensitive to pollutants created crazy migraines (so bad he had to be driven home from work), eczema, psoriasis, depression, and gut issues. Determined to find solutions, he looked through his own genome to find root causes. What he discovered was fascinating. You’ll learn why your DNA is your body’s instruction manual, how genes determine how you lose weight, how a toxic burden can impede sleep, and why healthcare gets female hormone health wrong. Plus, Khan discusses the single reason why you can't lose weight (even when you’re doing everything right), how a genetic predisposition can determine hunger and cravings, and how to stop stress eating. Genetic testing can pinpoint what you need to do with diet, lifestyle, and environment to live longer… and live longer better. Whether you’re struggling to lose weight, want to reduce your risk of disease and live longer, or you’re curious about how genetic testing can support things like sleep, diet, hormones, fitness, mood, and immunity, you won’t want to miss this information-packed epis Get Kashif’s FREE Sleep Report and Sleep Better TONIGHT (Use code SLEEPSPECIAL for 100% off at checkout) http://thednacompany.com/sleepspecial
