Podcasts about fitness genes

Today we're diving into the fascinating world of genomics and personalised nutrition. We're joined by Dr. Stuart J. Grice, a distinguished biologist and former academic at the University of Oxford, whose groundbreaking research has explored the biological mechanisms behind neuromuscular disease, neurodegeneration, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Together, we'll explore the big question: How can understanding your genetics shape your long-term health? We'll discuss the usefulness of genetic testing when it comes to nutrition and health, and how it fits alongside other testing technologies like blood tests, gut microbiome analysis, and continuous glucose monitoring. Dr. Grice will introduce the concept of having a personalised profile that helps predict your future health trajectory based on current data.We discuss the differences between genes that are deterministic, probabilistic and informative and whether we can predict what might happen to us in the future, even if we're healthy now? We'll also cover the importance of balancing different aspects of our biology to live a healthy, fulfilling life.After completing his doctorate at Oxford, Stuart co-founded FitnessGenes where he currently holds the position of Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). The company is 11 years old and has received numerous awards for its innovative work in preventative healthcare. Moreover, FitnessGenes is the first company in the world to secure a patent that identifies how better health predictions can be made by combining genetic and lifestyle data.

Dr Sam Decombel is the co-founder and CEO of FitnessGenes Ltd, a direct-to-consumer DNA testing company and world leader in the analysis of genetic and environmental data as applied to fitness and nutrition. Fitness Genes was many years in the making, and built on the platform developed under Sam's first start-up, DNA artwork company PlayDNA. With a PhD in Genetics from the University of Birmingham and several years working as a Technology Transfer Manager, her skillset in science and experience gained in intellectual property and business were an ideal combination to help her create her own start-up projects. In this episode, Nicola Gittins talks to Sam about the journey faced including the personal and serendipitous events that inspired her route as an entrepreneur. Sam provides an expert view to life as an entrepreneur offering her own personal advice to starting a business and also the advantages of having a mentor. Sam experienced great success with her first business PlayDNA and featured in Forbes magazine, Lab Times and BBC radio and she even ventured into the BBC Dragon Den itself. Sam was able to use the associate publicity to raise the profile of her next start-up FitnessGenes Ltd. In 2018, she received the Alumna of the Year award from the University of Birmingham to recognise both her entrepreneurial successes, and the positive role she is playing in tackling discrimination and giving back to the community by supporting the development of young people through training and mentoring, something she is passionate about.

"Exercising at home is unstructured. As great as it is . . . there's nothing more beneficial than being in a gym with a good personal trainer . . . clarifying that what you've read online is what you should (or shouldn't!) be doing . . . I don't buy into the idea that gyms and health clubs are dead," says Dr. Reardon, Founder of FitnessGenes and long time fan of the industry. In this provocative, wide-ranging chat with Pete, they discuss his experience on the front lines battling COVID, the need for an aggressive, new global focus on how people take care of themselves, the dangers of over pathologizing "medical conditions," the importance of building resilience, the dangers of loneliness, vaccines and the critical need to "lose the conspiracies" around them and more!

From the moment I came across one of Sky's videos on YouTube, I had a real respect and admiration for a combination of the quality of her content and her themes of exploration, but also her style of production and natural flare and unique approach immersive journalism. And a lot of people think the same! She has a fantastic YouTube Chanel where she explores the world of wellness and interviews key thought leaders in mind/body wellness while also constantly challenging herself and stepping out of her comfort zone. Connecting with conscious creatives like Sky wake up my inner creative spirit so it was a delight and privilege to connect and share a conversation around where we currently are and the topics that our present in our outer worlds and held deeply in our hearts. Creativity, purpose, nutrition, following the heart and stepping into fear are to name a few themes we explore.

"June 27th of June 2013. For months we had been talking about when we would launch. I phoned Stuart and said 'Time's up. We're going.' I set up a PayPal link, put a post out on social media and to our email list saying this is the product, this is the secret. Literally within two hours we'd sold about £12,000 of products. Stuart called me and said 'We don't have any DNA tests yet' - so we had to stop selling." Only one episode away from #150! How did that happen! Joining me on #149 is Dr Dan Reardon, co-founder and Ceo of Fitness Genes. Those regular listeners to the show will know that I've been on a bit of a journey recently and completed #75HARD last Friday, July 19th. I'll be covering that in Saturday's #150, and also what I've decided to do next. #75HARD is a mental toughness challenge with obvious physical benefits as I lost 1.5 stone and 7% body fat. Plus I reached my #1 goal for 2019, twice! That was getting a #1 podcast. With nearly half the year still go, there's plenty to still achieve. Having been a health and fitness professional in a former life, I was aware of the growing market in DNA testing, but had never signed up for any of the products that were out there. Until I met Dr Dan Reardon from Fitness Genes: a medical doctor and genetics expert, and one of the four founders of Fitness Genes. He was an emergency room physician for ten years as well as being a certified personal trainer with over fifteen years experience and a former editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines - plus a published author a few times over. On today's show we talk about how we can optimise our health and fitness by looking at our genes and making changes to lifestyle - based on what our genes tell us about diet, exercise and sleep: things that are the first to go when entrepreneurs get busy and overwhelmed. But if you can't look after yourself, who can you look after? This is for you. Let's StartUp!

Welcome to the trailer for episode #149 with Dr Dan Reardon of Fitness Genes. On tomorrow's show we talk about how we can optimise our health and fitness by looking at our genes and making changes to lifestyle based on what our genes tell us about diet, exercise and sleep. Join us from midnight on Wednesday, July 24th

You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here. And I can help. Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them. I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
