The Genetics of Estrogen, Testosterone, Detoxification and Autism with Kashif Khan

This week we welcome Kashif Kahn to the Better Show to talk about
Genetics. Kashif is the CEO of The DNA Company, and we were able
to speak in depth with him about our pre-determinants that will
impact many aspects of our lives. We began talking about DNA
reports, why copy variants are super important in gene reporting.
Clinicians listen up because we spoke about androgens and
hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. We dove deep into
Methylation, and more specifically the COMT gene and it’s role in
methylation and how it impacts a person’s personality and their
aversion to risk. We had a very nuanced discussion about Autism,
and the ability to detoxify adjuvants in vaccines and the
environment as a predisposition for someone being exposed to
those toxicants. We rounded out the conversation talking about
fat and carbohydrates and how much of a role our genetic makeup
plays in how we process them. We also touch on EQ and IQ, and
just an overall interesting conversation if you are a parent or
family member that may be be interested in our genetic makeup.
Thank you Kashif for being our guest and we cannot wait until the
next one!
