In this episode of The Healing Side, we deliver a powerful storytelling podcast experience rooted in real life stories, deep conversations, and the evolving human experience of growth and healing. We sit down with Len May—genetics pioneer, CEO of EndoDNA, and human optimization advocate—whose personal journey began with an ADHD diagnosis and evolved into redefining what potential truly means.

Len shares how understanding his own neurodivergence became a catalyst rather than a limitation. Through deep conversations, we explore how DNA, artificial intelligence, and cannabis science are converging to create personalized health protocols—tools that honor individual biology instead of forcing people into one-size-fits-all solutions.

This episode dives into overcoming adversity at the biological and emotional level. Len explains how genetic markers influence stress response, trauma, and conditions like PTSD, and how this knowledge can reshape mental health care—especially for those in high-stress environments such as the military. These resilience stories reveal that awareness is power: when people understand how they are wired, they can heal smarter, perform better, and live more fully.

We also examine the role of AI in healthcare—not as a replacement for human care, but as an amplifier of insight and compassion. The result is a vision of medicine that is informed, precise, and deeply human.

This conversation offers meaningful life lessons about identity, difference, and the courage to reimagine health. If you’re drawn to stories about growth, self-discovery, and the future of healing, this episode reveals how embracing who you are—down to your DNA—can change everything.

1. Neurodivergence can be a source of strength and clarity.
