What can we do today to set ourselves up for this wonderful second half of life? The obvious answer is eat well, exercise, don't smoke, sleep well, and all those amazing lifestyle choices we make. But let's say we are doing these things pretty well, is there anything else we could be doing to help prevent disease and help prolong not just our lifespan but our health span? Host Amelia Phillips and esteemed GP Dr Sam Manger discuss what holistic health actually means, the most important tests we should get in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. They talk about novel new tests, such as genetic screening, whole body MRIs, APOE4, Nutrigenomix, coeliac gene test, BRCA and more).

So called “DNA” diets have caught the public’s attention in the past few years. In the never-ending quest to find a diet regimen that really will take off the pounds for good, millions of us Americans have been at least intrigued by the idea of letting your genes tell you what to eat and drink, and what not to. Many more of us are also curious whether our individual genetic pre-dispositions say something about enjoying better health depending on what we consume.In this podcast I talk to two researchers in the field of nutrigenomics, a gastroenterologist, and a nutritionist to help me better understand the promise of personalized nutrition recommendations based on our individual genetics.Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, and founder of Nutrigenomix, talks about a landmark study around caffeine, and other studies looking at the links between nutritional factors and health outcomes.Dr. Nathan Price, Associate Director of the Institute for Systems Biology, describes his findings around genetics and cholesterol, and helps put nutrigenomics within a broader context of personalized nutrition.Dr. David Alpers, Professor of Medicine and Co-Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University urges caution in interpreting findings to date based on nutrigenomics. He also underlines the importance of understanding each person holistically in order to factor in what your genes might one day say about your nutritional needs.Ann Swanson, RD, has a practice called New Way Nutrition. She shares her front line experience with clients and their DNA test scores.Cover art courtesy of Zephyris
Read the blog here. Welcome to this week’s healthcare Knowledge Knugget! As a part of “The Executive Innovation Show” podcast, we’re bringing you the hot topics, questions we receive each week and game-changing ideas, best practices and tips. Today’s topic comes from Dr. Richard Harris.Dr. Richard Harris is the Founder of Great Health and Wellness, a personalized medicine company in Houston, Texas. He is both a physician and a pharmacist. Today he is going to talk about how you can extend telepharmacy into the home, the future role of the pharmacist and how to improve health through prescription adherence. Lastly, we’ll be talking about genetics testing. Is this telehealth service of telegenetics best staffed by physicians or by pharmacists? What role can pharmacists play in patients’ supplements and diet? Dr. Harris believes that pharmacists can play an extremely large role in this area and that will allow them to practice at the top of their license. Hear what else he has to say by listening. How can pharmacists extend the services to the home with telepharmacy? A big way the pharmacist can extend services to home with telepharmacy is adherence to medications and side effects. We know that in the real world there's about a 50 to 60% medication adherence rate, but we estimate that in order to be successful, therapy needs to be around 80% adherent. So pharmacists, by doing checkups in the home through telepharmacy could ensure adherence rates and better optimization and outcomes to therapy. Pharmacists can also do health coaching, where they're walking people through other things associated with that disease state and they can also provide direct patient care through telepharmacy. Whose role is it to help patients better understand genetic testing and patient outcomes?As an internal medicine physician, a lot of Dr. Harris’ colleagues are not very interested in this subject at all, which he feels is a shame because genetic testing, a new neutral genomic testing can really be a game-changer for someone's chronic conditions or for preventative states. He thinks the pharmacist can take a very proactive role in this area to offer these services in the clinic and be taught how to provide high-quality information about Nutrigenomix in genetic testing. And then at the same time recommend high-quality GMP supplements. He also states that pharmacists have a better understanding of general physiology because he has gone through both trainings as a pharmacist and a physician. That has been today's Knowledge Knugget with Dr. Richard Harris. I hope you found the information informative and helpful. You can follow him on Instagram and Twitter or his podcast, The Strive For Great Health. That's today's healthcare Knowledge Knugget, part of The Executive Innovation Show.

Have you heard about Nutrigenomix? It looks at our individual genes and how external factors (including nutrition) can impact them. It’s a pretty cool phenomenon coming out of U of T. It’s been around for a number of years, but there are many questions surrounding it. Listen in as Drew and I chat the facts and what you need to ... Read More
Have you ever wondered why the diets that works for me don’t work for you? Or why you try the paleo, keto, fasting, atkins, whatever diet and you don’t see the results like your friend did? Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy and I are talking about nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics helps us understand how our genes and what we eat interact or the branch of genetic research of how foods affect our genes and in turn genetic variations affect how we react to nutrients in food. AKA your genes may be causing your lactose intolerance! Dr. El-Sohemy is the Founder of Nutrigenomix Inc. that offers tests on how genes impact weight loss & body composition, nutrient metabolism, heart health, performance, fertility, food intolerances, and eating habits. He serves as the President and Chief Scientific Officer. He also serves as Chair of Nutrigenomix’s International Science Advisory Board (SAB), which consists of key opinion leaders in the field of nutrigenomics. Dr. El-Sohemy obtained his PhD from the University of Toronto and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is currently a Professor and holds a Canada Research Chair in Nutrigenomics at the University of Toronto. Dr. El-Sohemy has published in the top scientific and medical journals with more than 120 peer-reviewed publications and has given more than 200 invited talks around the world. He is on the editorial board of 8 journals, and has served as an expert reviewer for more than 30 different scientific and medical journals and 12 research granting agencies. He has been a member of international expert advisory panels and scientific advisory boards of several organizations. We also discuss: What the heck our genes even are!? How to tell the difference between food allergies and chronic disease. The gene that tells you if a high protein diet is right for you. Why a food first approach is so important. How your family history may affect what is best for you. And how we can lead healthier lives by optimizing nutrition.

According to Ahmed El-Sohemy, Ph.D., founder of Nutrigenomix and professor at the University of Toronto, the field of nutrigenomics—the effects of nutrition intake on gene expression—is gaining popularity, particularly as consumers gravitate toward personalized nutrition. In this podcast, recorded after his presentation at the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) 2017 workshop and conference in Tucson, Arizona, El-Sohemy talks with Heather Granato, vice president of content at Informa, about: • The early beginnings of genomic science and where the field is headed • Examples of nutrition/genetic overlap, such as a person’s ability to metabolize caffeine or lactose • Implications for personalized nutrition; for example, in addressing obesity or weight management To share your thoughts, email Granato at heather.granato@informa.com, or tweet to @NatProdINSIDER using the hashtag #INSIDERpodcast.
