<p>For decades, we’ve been told that our DNA is a fixed blueprint—an unchangeable code that dictates our health and lifespan. But what if that’s only half the story? </p><p>Sharon Hausman-Cohen, a physician, researcher, and genomics expert at IntellxxDNA, joins Dave to reveal the cutting-edge science of <strong>genetic optimization</strong>—how understanding your DNA can unlock <strong>longer life, better brain function, and even protection from chronic disease.</strong> </p><p>Forget the old-school genetic reports that left you with useless percentages. The <strong>new frontier of precision genomics</strong> goes beyond risk factors to <strong>actionable insights</strong>, showing you exactly how to <strong>turn on</strong> your body’s most powerful longevity genes and <strong>turn off</strong> the pathways driving inflammation, cognitive decline, and disease. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong> </p><p>• Why <strong>genetics alone don’t determine your future</strong>—and how to use <strong>epigenetics</strong> to control your health </p><p>• The truth about <strong>MTHFR, APOE4, and other “bad” genes</strong>—are they actually harming you? </p><p>• How <strong>genetic reports can predict and eliminate brain fog, fatigue, and pain</strong> </p><p>• The hidden <strong>genetic reasons behind ADHD, depression, and anxiety</strong>—and how to fix them </p><p>• Why <strong>some people age faster</strong>—and the <strong>one longevity gene that determines your biological age</strong> </p><p>• Cutting-edge breakthroughs in <strong>DNA-based biohacking</strong>—is it possible to <strong>edit</strong> your genes for peak performance? </p><p><br></p><p>This is the <strong>future of personalized medicine.</strong> By understanding your own genetic blueprint, you can <strong>stop guessing</strong> and start making the precise changes that will optimize your energy, brainpower, and lifespan! </p><p><br></p><p>** Visit IntellxxDNA at <a href="https://intellxxdna.com/asprey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://intellxxdna.com/asprey/</a> When you go to the website to find a clinician please select “human upgrade/longevity” as the type of consult to get specialized biohacking clinicians! ** </p><p><br></p><p>SPONSORS </p><p>-Timeline | Head to <a href="https://www.timeline.com/dave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.timeline.com/dave</a> to get 10% off your first order. </p><p>-Leela Quantum Tech | Head to <a href="https://leelaq.com/DAVE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://leelaq.com/DAVE</a> for 10% off. </p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong>  </p><p>• <strong>Dave Asprey’s New Book - <em>Heavily Meditated</em>:</strong> <a href="https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/</a> </p><p>• <strong>IntellxxDNA Website<em>:</em> </strong><a href="https://intellxxdna.com/asprey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://intellxxdna.com/asprey/</a> </p><p>• <strong>2025 Biohacking Conference</strong>: <a href="https://biohackingconference.com/2025" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://biohackingconference.com/2025</a> </p><p>• <strong>Danger Coffee</strong>: <a href="https://dangercoffee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dangercoffee.com</a> </p><p>• <strong>Dave Asprey’s Website</strong>: <a href="https://daveasprey.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://daveasprey.com</a> </p><p>• <strong>Dave Asprey’s Linktree</strong>: <a href="https://linktr.ee/daveasprey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/daveasprey</a> </p><p>• <strong>Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live</strong>: <a href="https://www.ourupgradecollective.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ourupgradecollective.com</a> </p><p>• <strong>Own an Upgrade Labs</strong>: <a href="https://ownanupgradelabs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ownanupgradelabs.com</a> </p><p>• <strong>Upgrade Labs</strong>: <a href="https://upgradelabs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://upgradelabs.com</a> </p><p>• <strong>40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement</strong>: <a href="https://40yearsofzen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://40yearsofzen.com</a> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong> </p><p>• <strong>00:00</strong> – Intro </p><p>• <strong>02:00</strong> – The Role of Genetics in Longevity </p><p>• <strong>03:37</strong> – Gene Variants & Cognitive Health </p><p>• <strong>05:58</strong> – Epigenetics vs. Genetics </p><p>• <strong>08:21</strong> – Genomics & Pain Management </p><p>• <strong>09:26</strong> – Breakthroughs in Genetic Research </p><p>• <strong>12:33</strong> – The Future of Genomic Medicine </p><p>• <strong>14:27</strong> – How to Use Genomic Reports </p>
