Curious about which genes could be contributing to bone loss and osteoporosis?
Want to learn how to “hack” your DNA for better health, and how genetic testing can shed light on how to eat, exercise, sleep, and live optimally?
Ready to see my own personal DNA examined including where I’m setup for success, and where I have to be really intentional or serious health issues could follow?
Then don't skip this fascinating episode!
I sat down with Kashif Khan, CEO and founder of the DNA Company, and we explore genetics and osteoporosis. Plus, he breaks down my personal DNA profile, including my genetics for nutrition, immunity, cardiovascular health, mitochondrial function, hormones, sleep, and longevity results.
Kashif provides practical takeaways for me to live a long, active life free from chronic disease… and we’ll both share how you can access your own information too (he gave our BoneCoach community a unique and generous code!)
