Podcasts about Genetics

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference.Dr. Hutjens' presentation focused on herds producing seven pounds of milk fat and milk protein per cow per day, and the genetics, on-farm management and nutrition to make that happen. The panel discusses where components could top out, how added dietary fat has influenced components and the importance of high quality forage to de novo fat synthesis. (4:09)The panel explores how well nutritionists are keeping up with rapid genetic change in milk component production and how farmers respond to recommendations for things like rumen-protected fatty acids and supplemental fat. Dr. Nelson shares some of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the California dairy producers he works with. (11:56)Dr. Hutjens gives some benchmark values for energy and protein efficiency. The panel debates the merit of energy-corrected milk per stall as an efficiency measure, with the consensus being it might lead to crowding, which would then probably decrease milk and component production due to decreasing cow comfort. The group also discusses selecting for feed efficiency and the heritability of feed efficiency. (16:33)The panel dives into the topic of feed ingredients. High-oleic soybeans and high quality forages are a focus in some parts of the country. Dr. Nelson discusses non-forage fiber sources available in the California market, such as citrus, plums, apples and carrots. The group talks more about how high-sugar byproducts influence rumen fermentation, which is different from starch, as well as benefits in palatability, digestibility and intake. (21:03)Dr. Hutjens talks about benchmarks for milk components and different strategies for increasing component production. Rumen-protected amino acids, purchased fats, roasted high-oleic soybeans and urea are discussed. The group also talks about what might happen if milk processors start asking for less milk fat, for example. Dr. Hutjens talks about how nutritionists can help balance rations to yield different results for different markets. (33:04)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

They discuss the history and evolution of eating disorders, the various types including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, and the growing concern of muscle dysmorphia among young men. Dr. Nagata emphasizes the complex causes of eating disorders, including genetic, societal, and peer influences, and highlights the significant role social media plays in shaping body image perceptions among adolescents. The conversation aims to raise awareness about the often-overlooked issue of eating disorders in boys and men, and the importance of addressing these challenges in today's society. In this conversation, Don Hooton and Dr. Jason Nagata discuss the complexities of eating disorders, including how to recognize warning signs, the importance of support and resources for parents, and the differences in how eating disorders manifest in different genders. They also debunk common myths, explore treatment options, and address societal pressures that contribute to these issues. The conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, understanding, and moderation in discussions about body image and health. If you or someone you know would like to get help with an eating disorder please contact the National Eating Disorders Association. Takeaways Eating disorders have been described for hundreds of years. Cultural context and societal pressures have changed over time. Anorexia nervosa is the most well-known eating disorder. Binge eating disorder is actually the most common eating disorder. Muscle dysmorphia is a growing concern among young men. Genetics, societal influences, and peer pressure contribute to eating disorders. Social media creates pressure to produce idealized body images. Misinformation about body image and health is rampant on social media. Parents' comments about weight can influence children's body image. Adolescents are at the highest risk for developing eating disorders. There is a spectrum of body dissatisfaction leading to eating disorders. Warning signs include obsession with food, weight, and exercise. Eating disorders can affect individuals of all genders and backgrounds. Binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder. Moderation in eating and exercise is crucial for health. Parents should model healthy behaviors for their children. Open communication is key to addressing body image issues. Social media amplifies body image pressures globally. Professional help is essential for treating eating disorders. Caution is needed in discussing appearance to avoid triggering issues.   Chapters 00:00  Introduction to Eating Disorders and Their Impact 08:26  Understanding the History and Types of Eating Disorders 14:26  Causes and Influences of Eating Disorders 17:06  The Role of Social Media in Body Image and Eating Disorders 23:54  Recognizing Warning Signs of Eating Disorders 28:13  Navigating Support and Resources for Parents 30:26  Gender Differences in Eating Disorders 32:29  Debunking Myths Surrounding Eating Disorders 34:34  Understanding Treatment and Support Systems 37:57  Societal Pressures and Their Impact on Eating Disorders 40:40  Global Perspectives on Eating Disorders 42:53  Advice for Parents and Caregivers   Follow Us: Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Contact Us:  Twitter: @theTHF Instagram: @theTHF Facebook: Taylor Hooton Foundation #ALLMEPEDFREE Email:  Phone: 214-449-1990 ALL ME Assembly Programs:

October 11, 1955. Nearly three hundred of the Soviet Union's top scientists sign a secret letter demanding the removal of one man: Trofim Lysenko. For decades, Lysenko had Joseph Stalin's ear, ruling Soviet biology with an iron fist—banning genetics, rewriting textbooks, and sending dissenting scientists to prison or worse.  How did a peasant-turned-agronomist convince Stalin that wheat could turn into rye, and that ideology mattered more than evidence? And when politics replace science, what—and who—gets destroyed? Special thanks to William deJong-Lambert, author of The Cold War Politics of Genetic Research: An Introduction to the Lysenko Affair; and Nikolai Krementsov, author of Stalinist Science. -- Get in touch: historythisweekpodcast@history.com  Follow on Instagram: @historythisweek Follow on Facebook: ⁠HISTORY This Week Podcast⁠ To stay updated: http://historythisweekpodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Brad Heins welcomes Becca Weir, a Minnesota native and newly appointed assistant professor of agricultural economics at Penn State. Growing up on a dairy farm near Sauk Centre, Rebecca developed a passion for applying economics to dairy management decisions.In this episode, she shares findings from her University of Minnesota research with Jolene Hadrich, which connected genetic selection (sire Net Merit) with farm-level profitability using data from 2012–2018 Minnesota dairy herds.Key insights:A $100 increase in sire Net Merit was linked to roughly $12,000 more in net farm income—about $87 per cow, higher than expected.The positive relationship held across small, medium, and large herds, showing that investing in genetics pays off for all farm sizes.Traits related to longevity and health—such as livability and milk fever resistance—were the most consistent contributors to profitability.Selecting based on the Net Merit index is more effective than focusing on single traits.Genetics explained about 3% of profitability variation, a small but meaningful share alongside market conditions, management, and input costs.Rebecca also discusses her new role at Penn State, where she'll continue exploring dairy farm management, risk management, and programs like Dairy Margin Coverage to help producers improve economic resilience.Brad closes by reminding listeners that genetics are just one piece of the profitability puzzle—but an important one that can deliver measurable returns for dairy farmers.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

What if having the same gene as your sister doesn't mean you'll have the same outcome? What if trauma and nervous system dysregulation could be the difference between expressing a genetic disease—or not? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian answers a question from Rachel in Texas, who discovered she carries the BRCA gene mutation. Despite making the same lifestyle changes as her sister—who also has the mutation—Rachel developed breast cancer while her sister remained healthy. Why? Dr. Aimie reveals the biological mechanism that connects nervous system dysregulation to genetic expression: oxidative stress. This episode offers a scientifically grounded yet hopeful perspective on why two people with identical genetics can have vastly different health outcomes—and what you can do about it. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why BRCA mutation carriers have a 45-72% lifetime breast cancer risk (versus 12-13% in the general population)—but not everyone with the gene develops cancer The biological link between nervous system dysregulation and oxidative damage to DNA How BRCA genes interact with NRF2 antioxidant pathways, creating increased vulnerability to oxidative stress Why both sympathetic activation (stress/anxiety) and dorsal vagal shutdown (depression/numbness) decrease your body's ability to clear oxidative stress The "calm alive" state: when your body naturally engages its healing and antioxidant repair mechanisms Dana's story from The Biology of Trauma—a physician with childhood trauma who found a breast lump and learned to repair nervous system dysregulation Practical tools: why vitamin C and antioxidant-rich foods (broccoli, blueberries) matter for genetic conditions How somatic self-practices can quickly shift your nervous system state and support cellular repair Why having a genetic condition doesn't mean you're powerless—epigenetics shows us DNA expression can change Genetics load the gun, but environment and nervous system state pull the trigger. This episode is a powerful reminder that even when you carry genetic risk, your nervous system regulation, oxidative stress levels, and daily practices can dramatically influence whether those genes are expressed. Your biology is not a life sentence.

Petrendologist Charlotte Reed talks with veterinarian, Dr. Ernie Ward, the author of the book, “Chow Hound,” and the founder of the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention, about why dogs and cats are still overweight and how genetics is a contributing factor in your pet's weight.

Robin Sharma reveals the real source of genius — not genetics, but deliberate practice, disciplined rituals, and empowering environments. Drawing on Anders Ericsson's research, he explains how world-class performers invest 10,000 hours of focused effort before mastery emerges. Sharma challenges excuses, highlights the power of words in shaping beliefs, and urges us to create our own “Menlo Park” where distraction-free genius can flourish.Source: Robin sharma inspiring speech Hosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on Instagram Check out the NEW Black Excellence Daily podcast.

Is ADHD really a brain disorder or a label created to sell drugs? Dr. Roger McFillin speaks with filmmaker Roman Wyden, founder of the ADHD Is Over movement- that includes a book, podcast and upcoming documentary.  Roman shares why he rejected the ADHD label for his son and what he uncovered about the system behind it: schools, pharma, and psychiatry pushing parents toward pills. Together they expose how 6 million children in America are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, the billion-dollar ADHD industry that profits from it, and why more parents are waking up and saying: ADHD is over.ADHD is OVER Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

What if the story of adoption held both rescue and rupture at the very same time? We sit down with Ayrton Beatty, who was placed for adoption after three months in foster care, to talk candidly about identity, attachment, and why language like “placed” instead of “given up” can change how a life is understood. Ayrton walks us through learning the painful truth of their origins, navigating sealed records, and reaching out to a birth mother who carried her own trauma—and how compassion sometimes means choosing not to force contact that others may not be ready for.Across our conversation, we unpack the science of early attachment and the higher risk of mental health challenges among adoptees, including borderline personality disorder and PTSD. Ayrton shares what therapy has looked like in practice, from “all inclusive” counseling to surreal nightmares, and how trust becomes a skill rebuilt over time after abuse. We also explore the reality of medical unknowns: what happens when a clinician asks for family history you don't have, how a medication triggered Long Q-T Syndrome, and the vigilance required when genetic information is missing. Along the way, DNA testing complicates and enriches identity—German and Jewish ancestry within an Irish-rooted adoptive family—proving that belonging can be layered without being false.This is a nuanced, humane portrait of adoption that holds joy and grief together. You'll hear why Ayrton still believes adoption saves lives, even as it leaves scars—and how humor, clear words, and steady support can help an adoptee feel seen. If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who needs nuance, subscribe for more thoughtful stories, and leave a review to help others find the show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

No one's proud of being unfaithful, but what if some people's cheating was actually caused by genetics, rather than selfishness? That might sound like a convenient excuse, but actually there could be some scientific basis behind it. In 2022 researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia analysed the DNA of over 7,300 twins aged between 18 and 49, all of whom had been in relationships for several years. What were the study's results then? Are some people simply programmed to cheat then?

This episode features Dr. Diana Ponsky, a renowned facial plastic surgeon in Cleveland, Ohio, who leads Ponsky Facial Plastic Surgery. Double board-certified in Facial Plastic Surgery and ENT, Dr. Ponsky specializes in natural facial rejuvenation. She discusses how hormonal shifts impact the face and what women can do about it.The Hormonal Impact on AgingDr. Ponsky notes that a sharp drop in hormones around menopause can feel like an "acute switch" in aging. Collagen Loss: Women can lose up to 30% of their collagen within five years around menopause, followed by a 2% loss each year. Structural Changes: Low estrogen affects receptors throughout the skin and bone. This causes skin to become coarser, fat to descend, and even facial bones (like the jaw and areas around the nose) to atrophy, which can flatten the brow arch.Prevention and Maintenance: The "Car Tune-Up"Aging gracefully is about slowing down the process, which Dr. Ponsky compares to constant maintenance on a car. Proactive Care: Genetic predispositions mean some women benefit from early surgical prevention (like brow lifts or fat transfer). Lifestyle: Rigorous skincare, sun protection, and avoiding repetitive motions (like drinking through straws) are crucial for maintenance. The Role of HRT: Dr. Ponsky is a firm believer in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), even starting in perimenopause, to slow the loss of muscle mass and bone density (including in the face).Treatment Options Fillers: These are volumizing agents (like hyaluronic acid) that replace lost volume; they do not lift. Dr. Ponsky cautions against overuse, as too much filler can distort muscle movement. Never Too Late: For those who missed the prevention window, aggressive treatments like deeper lasers and fat transfer can still yield great results, combined with a commitment to nutrition and a long-term care program.Dr. Ponsky reminds women that given we are living longer, tending to our bodies is necessary. It's not vanity; it's ensuring a high quality of life long after menopause.

Sarah Richardson talks about her new exciting research on insulin producing beta-cells that are single cells or small clusters rather than in islets.  These extra-islet beta-cells make up most of the insulin producing capacity of the pancreas in young children and are particularly susceptible to immune attack in Type 1 diabetes.  This important research explains why the loss of insulin producing cells in Type 1 diabetes is more severe in young children and informs future work on treating and preventing Type 1 diabetes.Send us a text

Listen to Part I HERE *Andy McIntosh, PhD: This week Fred Williams is on assignment so Doug McBurney welcomes a brilliant mind in science and design — Dr. Andy McIntosh. He's a professor of thermodynamics and combustion theory, and he joins RSR to help us understand one of the most sophisticated combustion engines ever observed! He states in his biography that: “At Bangor University in North Wales in the early 1970s... ...At that point we only had Whitcomb and Morris' book, ‘The Genesis Flood', and a few others. But to us the issue was clear – what is in the Bible must determine all our beliefs. The straightforward interpretation is 99% of the time, the way to interpret Scripture.” * He Wrote the Books: Get both of Dr. McIntosh's books: Wonders of Creation and Genesis One to Eleven: a verse by verse commentary. * Truth Wins Out: Check out the Truth in Science organization over in England! Point 1:  We examine scientific evidence carefully and present it with honesty and integrity, especially to school and college students, both on our websites and through professionally produced media and resources. Point 2:  We expose the assumptions and methodological errors in some of today's widely accepted scientific models, and point out what is conjecture and based on a materialistic worldview. Point 3: In particular, we seek to clarify the meaning of the term "Evolution", so as to avoid careless acceptance of all its claims and supposed implications. Point 4:  We advocate models based on rigorous, observable scientific evidence in contrast to unproven hypotheses lacking in experimental support. Point 5:  We seek to lobby the Department for Education to permit, rather than censor, the attitude of healthy criticism integral to the scientific method, in school and college classrooms and laboratories.    * The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Hear Fred, Doug and Andy discuss the Bible, The Creation the Bombardier Beetle and men including: Thomas Eisner & Hermann Schildknecht. And hear them express their hope for the soul of Richard Dawkins!

Parkinson's disease is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world—and according to Dr. Ray Dorsey, it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dorsey, a leading neurologist, Parkinson's researcher, and tireless advocate for rethinking chronic illness. Together, we unpack why the rates of Parkinson's have doubled in the last 25 years and explore a bold claim: Parkinson's is largely a manmade and preventable disease.Dr. Dorsey's message is urgent yet hopeful: prevention is possible, but it requires awareness, advocacy, and collective action. Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and one of the world's foremost voices in Parkinson's disease research and care. With deep clinical expertise and a passion for health care innovation, he is reshaping how we understand and address chronic illness. His parents were both psychiatrists, and he knew from first grade that he wanted to become a doctor. Today, he combines that lifelong love of learning with a mission to prevent Parkinson's and improve the lives of millions worldwide. ***  Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the truth about autism — why cases have skyrocketed, what's really behind it, and most importantly, what parents can do to help their child thrive.He explains how autism isn't genetically predetermined but develops from a “perfect storm” of stressors that overwhelm the nervous system — from birth trauma and toxins to prenatal stress. A key focus is the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to every organ system and often gets injured during birth, leading to inflammation, stress overload, and developmental delays.The good news: when the nervous system is restored and regulated through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care, kids can unlock their potential. Parents will leave this episode with clarity, confidence, and hope for healing.------Links & Resources:Free educational articles/resources about autism here.Dive into the PX Docs Autism Summit where 7 expert providers who have been in the trenches with autism families present about what's working best right now to help your child thrive!Learn more & get instant access here.------Key Topics Covered:3:07 – Why autism rates have risen from 1 in 3,500 to 1 in 36 children5:38 – Genetics: predisposition vs. predetermination7:27 – The “perfect storm” of stressors leading to autism18:33 – The “Three T's” of toxins, traumas, and thoughts32:55 – How birth trauma impacts the vagus nerve48:35 – What happens when the nervous system gets stuck in “stress mode”56:25 – Why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care is often the missing ------Relevant ResearchA Review on the Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System During Fetal DevelopmentIncidence of Pre-, Peri-, and Post-Natal Birth and Developmental Problems of Children with Sensory Processing Disorder and Children with Autism Spectrum Association of Cesarean Delivery With Risk of Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Disorders in the OffspringIncreased Risk of Autism Development in Children Whose Mothers Experienced Birth Complications or Received Labor and Delivery DrugsIncidence of Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy NewbornsAssociation Between Obstetric Mode of Delivery and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Population-Based Sibling Design StudyThe Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryHave you ever done everything "right" for your health only to discover your body had different plans? That's exactly what happened when my blood pressure climbed to concerning levels despite years of regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management techniques.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about facing the reality of my genetic predisposition to high blood pressure—a condition that has affected my two younger siblings for over a decade. Despite my best efforts to maintain an active lifestyle and make conscientious food choices, my readings have crept into the 130s, 140s, and even 150s, placing me firmly in Level 2 hypertension territory.The wellness industry often perpetuates the myth that we can exercise, eat, or meditate our way out of any health condition. While lifestyle certainly matters and can delay or reduce many issues, sometimes our genetics tap us on the shoulder and demand attention. This realization doesn't mean surrendering to illness—it means developing a more nuanced understanding of health that includes awareness, monitoring, and sometimes medical intervention alongside personal responsibility.I share my current approach, including increased plant-based eating, eliminating alcohol (yes, even my beloved wine), and investing in tools like an automatic blood pressure monitor. More importantly, I discuss the mental shift from trying to control everything to focusing on what I can influence while accepting what I cannot. This perspective has been surprisingly liberating.If you're facing similar health challenges or have family tendencies you're hoping to avoid, this episode offers encouragement to embrace awareness over avoidance. Remember that acknowledging vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the foundation of genuine strength. Subscribe to Why Not?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tyler Panzner, a PhD scientist specializing in genetic health optimization, to discuss the most common mistakes people make with supplements. He emphasizes the importance of integrating both genetic data and blood work to create personalized wellness strategies, noting that while genetics reveal potential vulnerabilities, lifestyle and epigenetics determine how those genes express. Dr. Panzner also highlights the significance of methylation genes (like COMT), which impact neurotransmitters and detoxification, touches on the role of GLP-1s, as well as how psychedelics can be helpful tools. Overall, the conversation reinforces the value of precision health—leveraging genetic insights alongside lifestyle factors to make smarter, safer choices in supplementation.Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist with a deep background in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research. His passion for how different substances affect the body has been lifelong, but about seven years ago, he found his true calling in genetics and personalized medicine. Since then, he's been on a mission to create personalized vitamin, supplement, and lifestyle protocols tailored to each individual's unique biology.His approach is all about understanding what your cells truly need and uncovering which vitamins, supplements, or foods might not be a good match for your genetic makeup. He firmly believes that by aligning your habits with your genes, not only can you feel your best every day, but you can also lower your risk for chronic diseases in the long run. His practice focuses on genetically optimizing health, helping people unlock their body's full potential to truly thrive.Dr. Panzner sees a massive lack in supplement education across all sectors of healthcare, which shows up as unnecessary suffering as people feel worse due to the wrong supplement recommendations. He is driven to educate both practitioners for their practice and consumers in the supplement aisle of the store so they can make more informed decisions regarding their or their patient's supplementation strategies.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:31 Dr. Tyler Panzner's Bio4:03 Welcome him to the show!5:05 This biggest mistake with supplementation9:31 Iron chelation & anemia12:35 CBD & Serotonin blockers15:51 GLP-1s: the good & bad24:25 Genetics vs lifestyle26:37 Cross-referencing with lab work 31:11 Histamine issues35:59 *ALIGN MAT*37:36 Methylation genes44:30 MTHFR52:46 Genetic testing57:17 Alzheimer's & APOE1:00:58 Psychedelics & genetics1:11:58 Natural ways to raise BDNF1:12:41 His finale piece of advice1:15:34 Where to find him1:16:16 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:https://drtylerpanzner.com/InstagramFacebookLinkedInYouTubeTikTokAlign Mat - $250 off with code: BIOHACKERBABESEp 291: Align Mat with Alyssa & MikeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

It's common knowledge that many diseases and conditions have some kind of genetic link. But that wasn't always the case. In 1990, long before the Human Genome Project tied so many health issues to differences in genetics, researchers identified a gene called BRCA1. It was the first gene linked to a hereditary form of any common cancer. People with certain variants of BRCA1 stood a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer than those without those mutations.  Geneticist Mary-Claire King and her lab were the first to identify that gene. She joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about her background, her research, and her approach to science.Guest: Dr. Mary-Claire King is an American Cancer Society Professor in the departments of Genome Sciences and Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
