The development and application of epigenetic predictors of health is revolutionizing the way we understand and approach personalized medicine. These predictors, derived from analyzing DNA methylation patterns, provide a powerful tool for assessing biological age, disease risk, and overall health.By leveraging advanced machine learning and AI, researchers can identify specific epigenetic markers that correlate with various health outcomes, allowing for early detection and tailored interventions.The ability to accurately predict health outcomes and aging processes not only offers individuals a roadmap for healthier living but also promises to reduce healthcare costs by focusing on prevention rather than treatment.In this week's episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Varun Dwaraka and I discuss practical applications of epigenetics, such as the development of epigenetic clocks for measuring biological age. We explain the concept of epigenetic clocks and the different generations of these clocks, emphasizing the importance of reproducibility and association with clinical outcomes.Varun also introduces how machine learning and AI are used to create Epigenetic Biomarker Proxies (EBPs), developed in collaboration by TruDiagnostic and Harvard, which can provide detailed health insights from a single blood sample. We also cover the significant implications of EBPs, including cost reduction and personalized supplement recommendations from a single blood sample.In addition, we compare methylation risk scores to epigenetic biomarker proxies, providing a clear understanding of their differences and applications.Lastly, Varun shares current exciting areas of discovery and ongoing projects, offering a glimpse into the future of epigenetic research and its potential to revolutionize personalized health.Varun is currently the Head of Bioinformatics at TruDiagnostic and sits on the faculty at the Geneva College of Longevity Science. In this episode of Everything Epigenetics, you'll learn about:Varun's dissertation that covered epigeneticsWhy studying epigenetics is important How epigenetics offers valuable insights into gene expression patterns and the upstream factors contributing to themThe landscape of epigenetic clocks The best bioinformatic practices when developing such clocksStochastic and dynamic aging Validation of epigenetic clocksEpigenetic biomarker proxies (EBP) Ongoing research aiming to expand the list of EBPs Methylation risk scores (MR')EBP vs. MRSChapters: 00:00 Introduction and Commendation 05:21 The Growth of Epigenetics 11:41 Defining Epigenetic Clocks 14:08 Best Bioinformatic Practices 24:55 Stochastic Aging vs Dynamic Aging 26:49 Best Practices in Bioinformatics and the Importance of Validation 33:08 Epigenetic Biomarker Proxies: Estimating Values for Proteins, Metabolites, and Clinical Biomarkers 36:53 Expanding the List of Epigenetic Biomarker Proxies and Improving Accuracy 45:11 Areas of Discovery: Twins and Connecting Molecular Data to Physiological OutcomesSupport the Show.Thank you for joining us at the Everything Epigenetics Podcast and remember you have control over your Epigenetics, so tune in next time to learn more about how.

Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring once again the multi-talented author, Susan Cohn. Susan Cohn is the author of the Bestselling book “The Art of the Mentor”. She calls herself an accidental and experimental artist as she began studying art at fifty. Just recently, she started the publishing process of her second book "The Spring Principle - The Secrets to Dynamic Aging Revealed". Susan's inspiring story is proof of what is possible when you are willing to take a leap of faith.

Yes, even physical challenges. And yes, even with advancing age.Find out more about the Move Your DNA Weekends at NutritiousMovement.com/weekends

People think that if they're exercising regularly, they've got their bases covered. But is there more to movement than just routine exercise? In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren sit down with biomechanist Katy Bowman to discuss the concept of “movement nutrition,” alignment concepts for massage therapists, different kinds of movements our bodies should be doing each day, and what movement exercises MTs could incorporate in their daily lives. Bestselling author, speaker, and leader in the Movement movement biomechanist Katy Bowman is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Her work has been featured in diverse media, including the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping. One of Maria Shriver's “Architects of Change” and an America Walks “Woman of the Walking Movement,” Bowman has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google, as well as a wide range of nonprofits and other communities, sharing her “move more, move more body parts, move more for what you need” message. Her movement education company, Nutritious Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her family. Her book, the bestselling Move Your DNA, highlighted the importance of distinguishing between movement and exercise and has revolutionized the way movement is now being discussed. This book along with her others—Movement Matters, Dynamic Aging, Grow Wild, Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Diastasis Recti, Don't Just Sit There, Whole Body Barefoot, and Alignment Matters—has been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide.

You guyyyyyyys. This is my podcast fan girl moment. When I first started scheming the idea of creating a podcast, Katy Bowman was at the top of my mental interview dream sheet. I’d recently found her work with everything I experienced with Diastasis Recti and was a huge fan. I’d read two of her books, listened to countless podcast interviews with her, and wanted to soak up as much knowledge as possible. From her work, I also discovered Jill Miller. The two of them have similar philosophies and teaching styles, but each have a superhuman amount of knowledge and wisdom to share. They collaborated to create the Walking Well program and make quite a powerhouse team together. AND they’re on the podcast this week!! Needless to say, when I recorded this interview with them, I was super nervous. I was trying to keep it together but couldn’t help but feel the creeping dread of imposter syndrome. They’re on another planet when it comes to movement and how the body operates and as an already awkward person, I felt like a bit of a goober interviewing them. BUT I did it! And they shared so many amazing tips and bits of advice in this episode. It’s one of my favorite *beefy* podcast episodes and I hope you enjoy hearing from them as much as I did. 065: Walking for fitness and movement longevity with Katy Bowman and Jill Miller Here’s what we talk about: - Walking as a personal fitness program as well as a family-friendly 'move more' activity. The importance of walking, especially for people who tend to choose higher impact activities.  - The importance of alignment while carrying kids and/or their gear. What are the best ways to manage that?  - Any tips to encourage kids to walk with you and enjoy it? - Why do some very fit people struggle with long walks? It could be because of the law of specificity in exercise, because of poor alignment, weak feet on strong bodies) - Why is walking so good for postpartum bodies? - And a Q & A segment from those of you who chimed in on Instagram (how many steps should we aim for each day, how to get back into yoga postpartum, tips for healing plantar fasciitis while remaining active)   Here’s a bit about Katy and Jill if you aren’t familiar with their work: Katy Bowman, M.S., is a biomechanist, a movement educator, the creator of Nutritious Movement and the award-winning author of many books, including “Move Your DNA” and “Dynamic Aging”. An America Walks “Woman of the Walking Movement”, Bowman consults on educational and living space design to encourage movement-rich habitats. She has worked with companies like Patagonia as well as non-profits to ensure diverse socioeconomic groups benefit from her “move more, move more of your parts, move more in your life” message.  Her site is www.nutritiousmovement.com.  Jill Miller, C-IAYT, ERYT is the cofounder of Tune Up Fitness Worldwide, creator of the self-care fitness formats Yoga Tune Up and The Roll Model Method and author of the best-selling book on myofascial release “The Roll Model”. With more than 30 years of study in anatomy and movement, Miller has developed fitness programming for major gym chains such as Equinox, 24 Hour Fitness and Yoga Works, as well as Fortune 500 corporate clients and professional sports teams. She is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in forging relevant links between the worlds of fitness, yoga, massage, athletics and pain management.

In this episode, I have Katy Bowman, the creator and founder of Nutritious Movement and author of books such as Movement Matters and most recently Dynamic Aging. During our interview we discuss how adding movement to your non-exercise time in the day is crucial, why touch is a movement people are starving for, why segmenting our movement is actually hurting us and others we care for and much more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/themasterfulartofselfcare/support

Our cells, including brain cells, are influenced by movement mechanics.  Our guest today is a leader in movement mechanics and aging.  Katy is part biomechanist, part science communicator, and FULL-time mover.  Katy Bowman has educated hundreds of thousands of people on the role movement plays in the body and in the world.  She is a prolific author of many books and other media outlets.  She directs the Nutritious Movement Center in the Pacific Northwest and travels around the world teaching Nutritious Movement™ Katy explains "Nutritious Movement" - the idea that our cells are influenced by mechano-transduction (AKA movement mechanics or the "mechanome"). Movement is not really the same thing as exercise as exercise is more of a sub-category of movement. Katy foresees the day that we will know how individual movements are good for specific aspects of health, similar to how we understand specific micro and macro-nutrients are important for health (eg fats, carbohydrates and various vitamins and minerals). We can open up way more opportunities for people to figure out how movement works if we move beyond thinking about physical activity as exercise alone. For example, most people arrange their homes so things are easy to get to (reducing our movements) and so it’s easy to find a place to sit. And those seating options keep us in the same geometry whether it’s the dining chair, sofa or toilet. How can we create more movement opportunities in the home? Katy may suggest things like putting the tea bags on a higher or lower shelf than the mugs so we have to squat or reach for them. Clear an inviting space so one can sit on the floor and stretch. Add a Squatty Potty, etc. Katy introduces us to some of the co-authors in her book, Dynamic Aging, who are all now in their 70s and 80s and have had success with Katy's movement methodologies over the last decade or so. She challenges cultural norms of how habit and sedentarism give rise to "inevitable" aches and pains of aging. It requires an inventory of all the aspects of our lives that impact how and where we move. Katy starts with how people get dressed, even what clothing we are wearing may restrict our ability to move. Note, footwear is a big deal! Shoes matter. Our lives require changes in "shape" and "load." Katy explains what it means to change up things in these domains of movement. She elucidates how we can set up our natural state environments like homes and offices to adapt and thrive in our aging bodies and in our daily tasks. We briefly discuss the roles of stress and trauma on our bodies and how this relates to mechanotransduction and movement mechanics. Katy recalls her involvement in Move for Minds seminar last year (2017) and we focus the last part of our conversation on brain health.

This episode combines a one-on- one recording with Katy and Dani, and the Ventura, California live-audience book release party at The Alignment B.E.A.C.H. featuring Katy’s four septugenarian co-authors.

Northwest author and biomechanist Katy Bowman has written several books on exercise and human movement, specifically how exercise relates to movement. Her work has been critically acclaimed and translated worldwide. Katy, whose home is in nearby Sequim, will speak at Eagle Harbor Books on Thursday, February 23rd at 7pm about her latest books "Movement Matters", and "Dynamic Aging". In this podcast, she talks to BCB host Sonia Scaer about what she learned from writing “Movement Matters” and how the conveniences in modern life are reducing our need for movement in our personal life and how that is negatively impacting our health ... and more. Katy believes that fitness is a "luxury" that derives from a lifestyle and culture where movement is "outsourced" to the producers of our convenience products, leaving us in a sedentary culture. The book explores how our lifestyles of convenience add up to less movement. In this interview, Katy talks about some of the costs related the cultural norm of convenience. Her message is that not only that are we not moving enough but that we've placed demands on other populations, unsustainably. Katy also talks about her book “Dynamic Aging”, which she co-authors with four of her septuagenarian friends. There is a general belief that as we age we'll see a decline in our physical abilities. These ladies all worked with Katy on exercise and movement for almost ten years. They are women whose ages range from late sixties to early eighties and who are enjoying active healthy lives -- walking, hiking, kayaking, and even climbing trees! This is exercise guide to restoring movement and balance for senior fitness. Credits: BCB host, audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters
