I am learning so much from this book. It talks about all the things that your doctors office doesn’t talk about. I am going to order the test after I finish the book I think it will answer allot of my questions and also put me on the proper health track.
Don’t believe that’s true!? Neither did I until I read the book. I am VERY interested in DNA. Not interested in the general sense but as it relates to me and my family. The ancestral piece you get from a 23andme/Ancestry is interesting but it doesn’t give you too much beyond that. As a person of color it is not often you get ‘specific’ (factual) information (that you can use) to make conscious choices as it relates to diet nutrition lifestyle health etc.. based on your DNA. There is an endless amount of information in the book that directly relates to why you are the way you are. The 100 or so family of genes they seem to focus on hold the key to a lot of information that I personally believe could lead to a paradigm shift in medicine. This added layer of information is something anyone caring for your health will be thankful to know. I read the book, purchased the DNA test to further underscore that point.
I have my DNA results through The DNA Company. I was hoping this book would help explain MY results in more detail. There were no charts or references to what SNP's were optimal vs suboptimal. The book only explains the author's DNA results, which did not help me to understand mine. The book is easy to ready and informative, so I gave it 3 stars. If you are a novice or considering getting the test done, then this book might be good for you.
I apologize in advance for the poor review to the author, but I need to be honest. I found this book really hard to get into. There is no real flow. I felt like I was waiting for the kind of punchline all the purpose which never was delivered. It’s mostly talking about test results from different and then a bunch of very generic health advice that anyone with a little bit of understanding of basic health knowledge already understands.
5.0 out of 5 starsThe Blueprint To Understanding Your Health & Making Real Changes
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
I've actually done Kashif's DNA test through his company the DNA Company and learned a ton! As a holistic health coach who geeks out on this stuff, my mentor taught me "DNA just loads the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger." So I never paid too much attention to DNA, and just worried about "living healthy" and putting good food in my diet, supplements, exercise etc. However, after doing the test and meeting with his coaches, I was blown away at how my DNA was affecting my overall health, such as my hormones health and my ability to convert testosterone correctly and get rid of estrogen, which as we know is a huge problem for males aging. I also don't synthesize Vitamin D correctly or Zinc, which I have seen on blood tests and hair tissue mineral analysis tests. My ability to detox was poor so I need to constantly support that. My cardiovascular health is also suboptimal and so things like cardio actually don't benefit me, and cause me to oxidize and age faster (I'm more suitable for weightlifting). Your DNA also shows you how you operate emotionally, which is a great thing to show your spouse! LOL. This book lays it out and shows you how these various systems in your body governed by your DNA, your blueprint affects aging, inflammation and overall health. Kashif has made me a believer that understanding your DNA is really necessary for optimizing your health and is probably the first test everyone should start with when beginning their health journey. Sure there are gut tests, HTMA, blood tests, etc, but start with your DNA first, after all that's your manual for personal optimization.
