468: Why Your Genes Are Sabotaging Your Health and How to Fix It with Kashif Khan

If you've ever wondered why your body seems to backfire against every diet and exercise plan that works for everyone else, this episode will blow your mind. We're diving deep into the genetic factors that explain why your friend can eat pizza daily while staying thin, why certain health supplements make you feel worse instead of better, and why your "high-functioning anxiety" might actually be your genetic superpower. In this episode, we explore how DNA plays a vital role in our health and aging journey. Our guest, DNA expert Kashif Khan, shares his shocking personal story of developing five chronic diseases while his business partner - who lived virtually the same lifestyle - stayed perfectly healthy. The answer wasn't found in willpower or lifestyle changes. It was written in his DNA. Specifically, he was missing an entire gene responsible for detoxification, turning everyday foods into inflammatory triggers. We uncover how genetic variations impact everything from hormone metabolism to mood regulation and weight management. We discuss ways to navigate midlife health challenges by understanding and optimizing our unique genetic profiles. Khan shares personal stories, including his own health struggles, and offers practical insights on supplements, lifestyle changes, and genetic testing that can transform how we age. Whether it's dealing with hormone imbalances, understanding mitochondrial health, or addressing autoimmune disorders, this episode provides a science-backed roadmap for harnessing the power of your DNA for better health. Get ready to discover why your DNA isn't your destiny - it's your personalized roadmap to optimal health. ✅ Sign up for the free deep dive with Kashif Khan here → https://midlifeconversations.com/dna Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube Learn More About Kashif Khan: Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/kashkhanofficial Website ➜ https://midlifeconversations.com/dna Podcast Part 1 ➜ https://www.nataliejillfitness.com/how-our-dna-predicts-our-health-with-kashif-khan/ Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!
