In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Kashif, founder of The DNA Company, to explore how functional genomics can transform health, prevent chronic disease, and empower individuals to become the CEO of their own wellbeing.
Kashif shares his own journey from running a successful PR and marketing firm to battling debilitating migraines, eczema, psoriasis, and anxiety — and how uncovering the interaction between his genetics and environmental exposures completely changed his life. Through functional genomics, he discovered that his genes weren’t the problem on their own — it was how his environment, lifestyle, and nutrition interacted with them.
📢 We Talked About
Why traditional genetic testing often creates fear instead of empowerment
How functional genomics focuses on actionable choices, not disease predictions
Why people with the same “bad genes” can have radically different health outcomes
The real story behind BRCA genes, breast cancer risk, and hormone metabolism
Why women’s hormonal health has been misunderstood — and how genomics changes that
The connection between genetics, mental health, dopamine, anxiety, and depression
How personalized data can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary medication
We also discuss why “one-size-fits-all” medicine fails, how elite athletes are often mismanaged hormonally, and why small, personalized habit changes — when aligned with your DNA — can add 10–15 healthy years to your life.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in preventive medicine, hormone health, mental wellness, longevity, and taking control of their health with clarity instead of fear.
