What if your health, energy, and mental edge were already coded into your DNA—and all you had to do was unlock it? Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company, joins David on this week’s episode of The David Nurse Show to break down how your genes really do hold the blueprint for peak performance and longevity.


During their conversation, Kashif walks David through his personal DNA results, revealing shocking insights about gut health, mitochondrial energy production, and the so-called "clutch gene" that influences high-pressure performance. The two also discuss whether killer instinct is born or built, how to fix poor genetic detox systems, and why many popular supplements may be doing more harm than good if your body isn’t genetically suited for them.


Finally, learn why some people never feel full, why keto can backfire based on your fat metabolism gene, and how your DNA can predict future disease risk—so you can take action before it’s too late. Don't miss this fascinating conversation!
