What if your DNA could explain why certain medications work for you, why stress affects you differently, or why one cannabis product helps one person but causes anxiety in another?

In this episode of Hormone Heroes, Dr. Kelly Hopkins sits down with Len May, CEO and co-founder of EndoDNA, to explore the rapidly evolving world of personalized medicine, cannabis genetics, epigenetics, functional medicine, ADHD, and AI-driven healthcare.

Len shares how his personal experience with ADD eventually led him into cannabis genomics, biotechnology, and precision wellness.

Together, Dr. Kelly and Len break down the science of the endocannabinoid system and explain how genetics influence the way the body responds to THC, CBD, stress, inflammation, hormones, supplements, medications, dopamine, and overall health.

The conversation explores why cannabis affects every individual differently, how CYP450 enzymes influence cannabis metabolism, why some people react strongly to gummies and edibles, and why the traditional Indica vs. Sativa conversation is often misleading. Len also explains how personalized wellness protocols based on DNA testing, epigenetics, biomarkers, and lifestyle medicine may help reduce adverse reactions and improve long-term health outcomes.

Beyond cannabis science, this episode dives into neurodivergence, entrepreneurship, dopamine regulation, high performance, stress physiology, hormone health, inflammation, biohacking, root-cause healing, and the future of AI-powered precision healthcare.

• The endocannabinoid system and its role in mood, stress response, inflammation, hormones, gut health, and homeostasis
