Today on the Spectrum of Health podcast, we answer the question: Do we have to age the way we do? I am joined by Mas Sajady, founder of Xponential Intelligence®, MediMorphosis® and Medihealing®. He has helped tens of thousands around the world break through challenging situations in their personal and professional lives so they achieve not only success, but also significance in their lives. Mas Sajady's two near-death experiences catapulted him beyond realities where great possibilities and inventions exist. Within these realities he was shown a "map" that detailed how to achieve ultimate abundance at every level of life. This map has given him abundance and abilities beyond comprehension of science. His passion is to bring forth this knowledge that exists within each one of us to light. Using the abundance map, Mas has guided nearly 100,000 individuals personally and millions through group engagements. His hypothesis is that transformations of this magnitude which are far faster and easier than other methods can only be achieved by editing an individual's DNA.
