In this powerful episode, Danny Flores chats with KJ Banuk, a dynamic leader in biotech and precision medicine. KJ breaks down how the science of proteins, peptides, and biomarkers is changing how we treat cancer, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases. She explains the key difference between traditional treatments like chemotherapy and new targeted therapies that minimize side effects by working with your body's biology.
But it doesn’t stop there. KJ also dives into the power of lifestyle choices and how over 50% of your health outcomes come from how you live, not just your DNA. From muscle building and hormone therapy to peptides and grounding, she shares actionable insights that can help anyone take control of their health journey.
Plus, KJ opens up about her personal health experiments, her mother’s inspiring comeback from hospice, and how she’s transitioning from corporate biotech into investing and owning multifamily real estate.
