About this episode
Dr. Kahn gets asked so often by patients if they are "trapped" by a family history of disease, heart, cancer, dementia and such. New data this week is the topic and the majority of the risk of diseases like diabetes type 2 and others are in OUR control, not genetic control. The word is lifestyle medicine. Food choices, exercise choices, sleep patterns, stress management, social support, smoking or not, and love and joy are able to speak to our genetic material and favor health and longevity. This is a powerful discussion.
