The Hotflash inc podcast 90. Kashif Khan - What’s your DNA got to do with menopause?
There is something that is discussed very little in the current wave of menopause awareness, yet it is, in essence, our very structure.
Yet obviously our DNA is a very big piece of this midlife puzzle.
And if you, like me, thought that DNA testing was something to avoid, because you don’t want to find out what diseases you are going to die of, then today’s conversation with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and author of The DNA Way, will be very eye-opening.
The DNA Way is all about using your individual DNA to prevent health issues. The DNA Company has amassed years of in-depth genetic analysis on the DNA results of more than 7,000 people, unlocking valuable insights into mood, behaviour and mental health, energy, diet and nutrition, weight management, sleep, and more.
This is about using epigenetics to overcome your genetic legacy.
Rather than serving as a possible inescapable prophesy, DNA testing provides actionable recommendations for all the most confusing health concerns we have, and can provide guidance on what foods to eat, how to exercise, where and how to work, and more. As Kashif writes in his book and tells me in the podcast, this has helped him prevent or reverse illness, slow down the aging process, and optimize performance.
And it can do the same for you.
Kashif explains DNA in a way that I never really understood it before, and he provided vital insight – and a much different take – on things like reducing our breast cancer risk, and how we can more safely use menopause hormone therapy.
It’s like a human instruction manual – for menopause too. Get ready to have your mind blown. Mine certainly was.
