The Interplay of Nutrition, Metabolic Pathways, and Epigenetic Regulation (Ferdinand von Meyenn)

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Ferdinand von Meyenn from ETH Zürich about his work on the interplay of nutrition, metabolic pathways, and epigenetic regulation. To start Dr. Meyenn recounts his pivotal research on DNA methylation in naive embryonic stem cells during his time with Wolf Reick. He explains the dynamics of global demethylation in naive stem cells, revealing the key enzymes involved and the unexpected findings surrounding UHF1—its role in maintaining DNA methylation levels and influencing the methylation landscape during early embryonic development. Dr. Meyenn then shares his perspective on the scientific transition to establishing his own lab at ETH. He reflects on his ambitions to merge the fields of metabolism and epigenetics, which is a recurring theme throughout his research. By investigating the interplay between metabolic changes and epigenetic regulation, he aims to uncover how environmental factors affect cellular dynamics across various tissues. This leads to a discussion of his recent findings on histone lactylation and its implications in cellular metabolism, as well as the intricacies of epigenetic imprinting in stem cell biology. Last but not least we touch upon Dr. Meyenn's most recent study, published in Nature, investigating the epigenetic effects of obesity. He provides a detailed overview of how adipose tissue undergoes transcriptional and epigenetic rearrangements during weight fluctuations. The conversation highlights the notion of epigenetic memory in adipocytes, showing how obesity is not just a temporary state but leaves lasting cellular changes that can predispose individuals to future weight regain after dieting. This exploration opens avenues for potential therapeutic interventions aimed at reversing adverse epigenetic modifications.   References von Meyenn, F., Iurlaro, M., Habibi, E., Liu, N.

Why do people regain weight more quickly than expected after successfully losing it?

This makes it easier for the body to return to that state. Listen in this week as Dee discusses this fascinating research, and what it means for long term weight loss maintenance.Reference:Hinte, L.

I recently tuned into a podcast with Jillian Michaels—the trainer from The Biggest Loser (possibly one of the most problematic shows to ever grace TV). I listened as she doubled down on the same old narrative: weight loss is all about motivation, eating less, and moving more. It was frustrating, especially because two respected physicians in the obesity medicine community were trying to bring a more evidence-based approach to the conversation, but it was falling on deaf ears.As research continues to reveal, chronic obesity is a complex condition that differs significantly from simple weight management. It's clear that it's time to move beyond these outdated beliefs and focus on the science shaping our understanding of obesity today. In this episode, we'll explore the latest scientific research on obesity, including how metabolic and hormonal responses to weight loss differ for those with chronic obesity, as well as the benefits of GLP-1s and GIPs that go far beyond weight loss alone.ReferencesHinte, L.C., Castellano-Castillo, D., Ghosh, A. et al. Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss. Nature (2024).Audio Stamps02:38 - Dr. Rentea critiques Jillian Michaels' outdated stance on obesity as a chronic condition, and emphasizes the importance of evolving with current science in understanding obesity and its treatments.07:56 - Dr. Rentea discusses the growing body of evidence showing that GLP-1 medications offer numerous health benefits beyond weight loss, including improvements in various metabolic and cardiovascular conditions.10:49 - We learn how GLP-1 medications help protect the cardiac system by improving endothelial function, reducing blood pressure, and lowering inflammation and cholesterol.13:20 - It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the wide-ranging health improvements these medications offer beyond just weight loss.Quotes“I believe radically different right now than what I did five, six years ago. Every single year I'm learning new things.”“The biggest question I always get asked from people is, ‘When I lose the weight, am I good? Can I then just go on with my life?' and I always say, ‘It's a chronic medical condition, meaning it's there for life. We can manage it, we don't have a cure.'”“It's been an explosion recently of updates from long term trials and new trials that are showing ever increasing benefits of GLP-1s and GIPs.”“It's never been about shapeshifting. It's never been about what size you are. It's really always about health. And this is a hard shift because most people are just obsessed with what the scale number is.”All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Amrita Ghosh's book Kashmir's Necropolis: Literary, Cultural, and Visual Texts (Lexington Books, 2023) is an interdisciplinary book that studies literary texts, film, photography, and art to understand the different forms of violence represented in the cultural productions from and on Kashmir. The author argues that selected texts present how the long conflict in the postcolonial nation-state transforms the Kashmiri body, the space, setting, the relationship between the subject and its natural world under different forms of violence. Each chapter showcases a form of representational and textual violence that emphasizes the shifts from biopolitical to necropolitical violence and also includes specific forms of violence such as epicolonialism, horrorism, and hauntings in Kashmir's landscape. The book also delves into how the concepts of agency, resistance, and resilience in these different texts necessitate new poetics of looking at Kashmir. The conflicted space of Kashmir has always been located within the politics of representation and this book investigates a problem in taxonomy within postcolonial discourses to articulate unique forms of violence in such a conflicted space.

Grab is by far the largest ride-hailing platform in Southeast Asia, the largest food delivery platform, one of the largest digital payment methods, and now, thanks in part to the work of my guest, Ritwik Ghosh, the largest embedded FinTech lending business. That's an impressive set of achievements, but Ritwick and his co-founder, Sauvik Datta, still saw a gap: while Grab is an important platform for many merchants, it is never their only platform, and so any platform-specific effort to deliver revenue-based financing is doing so with at least one eye off the ball.So they created Seedflex, a frictionless - and platform agnostic - way for online merchants to stay in control of their business, capital and growth.Ritwik is on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ghosh-ritwik/ Seedflex are there, too, at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/seedflex-tech/ But you may want to jump straight to their homepage at: https://www.seedflex.com/I am on LinkedIn, too, and open to new genuine connections - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange - please also follow the show's page while you're there.Meanwhile, my action-adventure novels are on Amazon, some versions even for free, and my work with ConfirmU and our gamified psychometric scores is discussed at https://confirmu.com/ and on episode 24 of this show https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-24And finally, I'm also co-creating a new podcast called hAIghtened senses which will look at the intersection between human senses and technology, especially AI-powered technology.
