The DNA Way: Unlock the Secrets of Your Genes to Reverse Disease, Slow Aging, and Achieve Optimal Wellness

by Kashif Khan, Dave Asprey (Foreword)

Learn how your DNA can empower you to make life choices that lead to a happier, healthier life

The personalized medicine wave is here.
In this book, biotechnology entrepreneur and CEO of The DNA Company Kashif Khan offers an action plan to help you live your best life. It starts by understanding your genetic makeup.

The DNA Way is a preventative guide to various health issues and their link to an individual’s DNA. In it, readers will discover what the DNA Company experts have learned about chronic illness and genetic predispositions, based on years of in-depth genetic analysis of the DNA results of more than 7,000 people.

Topics that will be addressed include mood and behavior, energy, diet and nutrition, weight management, sleep, and more. The book will delve into Kashif’s personal journey of overcoming his own genetic legacy and health challenges—using his own DNA results as a case study—and in navigating that journey, how he came to develop a company whose aim is to elevate humanity.

It also outlines recommendations—including what foods to eat, how to exercise, and where and how to work—that have helped him prevent or reverse illness, slow down the aging process, and optimize his performance.

Learn how to access your human instruction manual—the DNA way.

Not a bad book, however the information gained through this book can easily be accessed from their website. This book consists mostly of Kashif going through his report exactly as given in his report. I was expecting something similar to the detailed descriptions of functional genomics given in the long format videos with Kashif that is on the DNA company's youtube channel. I found these videos much more enlightening, than the information contained in this book, because they provided interpretation and explanation of particular genes and their impact on the body..

Not to far i to this but it feels like the chapters are all over the place- not a continuous tale but a lot of different sub stories that don’t follow a cohesive flow. For example, Chapter 1 is titled Medical Whac-a-mole and Chapter 2 is titled Medical Explorers-it’s as if he threw darts at a board and decided to combine a bunch of random topics with nothing to connect them. This makes for an unenjoyable, random read.

Repeats very similar definitions over and over again, chapters feel like they should be organized differently, uses a jumble of different types of genes which are introduced on the spot.

Still learned a lot, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend. I feel like it would be a better use of time to look this information up online.

Good book, but knowing your DNA profile is necessary to take advantage of hiis teaching ...

[Kristin Mallon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Could have been good but instead was just the author’s personal DNA journey. Not a great overview of how to interpret DNA results unless you have the exact same genetic make up as the author.

Some exciting science in here, but the writing quality is average at best, and the descriptions lack depth. Some of the passages are so simple that I ended up feeling talked down to.
