In this episode, I dive deep into one of my favorite topics—bio-individuality—and why your genes may hold the missing key to your health struggles. Kashif Khan joins me to unpack how his own health crisis at 38, marked by eczema, psoriasis, gut issues, depression, and debilitating migraines, sent him down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to genetics. What he discovered completely reframed the way he thought about wellness.
We explore how two people can eat the same food, live the same lifestyle, and experience radically different outcomes—and why that discrepancy often comes down to gene expression. Kashif breaks down dopamine pathways, addiction tendencies, trauma imprinting, and how certain genetic profiles can be both a superpower and a liability depending on context. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re wired the way you are or why certain habits feel nearly impossible to break, this conversation will hit home.
We also get into estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, hormone replacement therapy, environmental toxins, and the shocking role negative emotions play in turning disease-related genes on. One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ancestral habits, geography, and even generational trauma can influence which genes are expressed.
This episode is a powerful reminder that health isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about understanding your unique blueprint. If you’re tired of guessing and ready to personalize your approach to fitness, supplements, hormones, and longevity, this one is going to open your eyes in a big way.
