Be Well by Kelly Leveque

In today’s episode, I sit down with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and author of The DNA Way, to explore how understanding your genetics can completely change the way you approach your health. Kashif breaks down DNA in a way that actually feels actionable, showing us why the same diet, workout, supplement, or wellness protocol can create completely different outcomes from one person to the next.

In this episode, I sit down with nervous system expert Jonny Miller to explore how emotional regulation shapes our relationships, health, parenting, and overall well being. Jonny shares the deeply personal story that led him into this work after the loss of his fiancée, and explains why avoiding emotions often creates more suffering than allowing yourself to feel them.

Together, we discuss emotional debt, grief, somatic awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation, parenting under stress, and practical tools for building resilience. You'll learn why emotions are meant to move through the body, how to recognize signs of dysregulation, and simple practices that can help you respond with more calm, presence, and connection.

Topics Discussed:

→ How do you regulate your nervous system?

→ What is emotional debt?

→ Can breathwork reduce anxiety?

→ Why do we avoid difficult emotions?

→ How do you process grief in a healthy way?
