What are the food genes and what are the effects of lifestyle on longevity? In Part 2 of my interview with skin cancer surgeon Dr. Sharad Paul, we talk more about his ideas in his book The Genetics of Health and how we can use our understanding of our genetic makeup to personalise our health care. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: The anxiety gene and the impact of emotional stress on our genes and our risk for diseases How dancing can positively affect our health The umami taste and what it means to our system The fat gene and what it means for the people who have it Why personalising your health care is so important Key Takeaways: Chronic stress is something which suppresses the immune system, and when it does that, the end result is you respond poorly to tumors and infections. Stress is not what causes a disease but it makes a disease worse. Dance, especially tango, shows the most evidence for improving cognitive function, reducing the risk of dementia and improving Parkinson’s disease. What we taste has an effect on our anxiety levels. People who like sour foods are more adventurous and more of a risk-taker. It is, unfortunately, true that the bigger your gut is, the skinnier your brain becomes. So if you’re putting on 2 inches of gut every year, your brain is losing a little bit of cognitive function every year. Action Steps: Use positivity and mindfulness as a tool to handle stress. In this way, you will be able to fight off diseases much more easily. Manage your stress by changing the things that you can control and not dwelling on the things that you can’t. Do exercises like dancing, which involves the three forms of movement -- locomotion, orienting or balancing, and grasping. These types of exercises are very good for brain function. Personalise your health care by testing and tailoring your diet and your lifestyle according to your needs. Dr. Sharad Paul said: “What’s necessarily a mood elevator is not necessarily the same for anxiety as it is for depression. They are two separate things… Certain things are making you anxious because you’re just a scaredy cat. And depression [means] you’re a sad cat.” “We know that the brain is a fraction of our body weight but it consumes over 25% of our power. But if your gut is so big and you put all these stuff inside it, which needs to be digested… you start feeding [it] at the expense of your brain.” Thanks for listening!

What does it mean that our genes are our biological stars? Why is it important to understand our genetic makeup? How can we use our understanding of genetics to take charge of our health? Skin cancer surgeon Dr. Sharad Paul talks about the genetics of health and the importance understanding the connection between our evolutionary past and our future wellbeing. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Why we need to make evolution personal and how we can do that efficaciously What we know about genetic health and why it matters The sluggish gene and what happens to our brain when we don’t move The relevance of dopamine and other key hormones to our behaviours The impact of what we’re eating on our genes and what we feel The procrastination gene, the anxiety gene, and why procrastinators are higher achievers Key Takeaways: When it comes to our health and wellbeing, we can think of genes as our blueprint, but they’re not our destiny. We are in charge of our blueprint and we can actually modify it. One in every five people carries a variant of the GstD1 gene, which means they don’t metabolize vitamin C properly. The impact is so gradual that, for these people, you wouldn’t think anything is wrong until they are in their 40s and they’ve got pre-diabetes or they’re overweight or they’ve got a high blood pressure. These health issues could have been easily prevented if they knew they carried such a gene and ate more foods rich in vitamin C from when they were younger. The most important reason for the body to move is because the brain evolved for movement. Not moving increases the risk of dementia, high blood pressure, and a host of other health issues. People who have the sluggish gene respond well to endurance exercises. Action Steps: Get a genetic test and know your basic gene profile for wellness. Then you can actually tailor your diet and lifestyle for you to be fit and healthy. Move your body! Don’t be stationary for too long periods of time. Dr. Sharad Paul said: “With the internet and things like that, we have democratized many other areas where people are able to take charge and do their own thing. But when it comes to health, you get lost in this quagmire of somebody decides what’s best for you...” “With our diets becoming more dopaminergic… what you find is that actually makes you not only pleasure-seeking but you also become more grandiose, so you are more likely to believe in something outlandish. So you can actually see… how what we eat shapes how we become.” Thanks for listening!

On this episode of the podcast, I welcome Dr. Sharad P. Paul to discuss medicine and health. Dr. Sharad P. Paul, MD is a skin cancer surgeon, family physician, academic, skincare expert, evolutionary biologist, storyteller, and social entrepreneur, as well as an adjunct professor at Auckland University of Technology. Born in England, with a childhood in India, he is a global citizen who lives Down Under. In 2008, was featured in international editions of Time and in 2015 was awarded the prestigious Ko Awatea International Excellence Award for Leading (Health) Improvement on a Global Scale. In this episode, we discuss: -The most important questions to ask your physician at a yearly check-up -The Genetics of Health: making medicine personal -How historical human migration and diet patterns influence your Vitamin D levels and Omega 6:3 ratio -Should the medical system be proactive or reactive with illness? -And so much more! The healthcare system today is primarily focused on reactively treating illness with very little resources going towards proactive treatment and advice. Dr. Paul stresses, “Medicine isn’t health. Medicine is an industry... It doesn’t automatically mean good health.” Dr. Paul believes that achieving good health is done by both recognizing genetic risk factors and adjusting your environment appropriately. For those seeking to provide more personal healthcare, Dr. Paul advises, “It’s important to get to know the person and not just the illness.” Dr. Paul advocates people become knowledgeable about what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle and take action to achieve their health goals. Dr. Paul recommends to, “Increase your sense of personal responsibility.” For more information on Dr. Paul: Dr. Sharad P.

You can find Dr. Paul here: The Genetics of HealthDr. Sharad Paul@DrSharadPaul TwitterDr. Sharad Paul facebookGT21 Gene Test Show Notes [05:10] The age old question of nature versus nurture. How genes affect everything about us.[06:08] How the Genetics of Health is about applying our genetics for health and wellness instead of just the treatment of disease.[07:18] Song lines in aboriginal culture. All European cultures can be broken down to seven lines. How the number seven is popular in folklore of many cultures and science too. [09:23] How there is a oneness to humanity, and how our health issues can be broken down into genetics. [10:28] How there is high UV in the Southern Hemisphere and people of Celtic descent weren't designed to live in these sunny areas. [11:08] Lactose intolerance in different cultures and the trends of what people should be eating according to their DNA.[12:46] Genome sequencing tests for diseases that there aren't treatments for. The stress could affect health. [13:13] Microbiol test to see what you should be eating.[13:22] Dr. Paul's test is saliva based and it focuses on diet and exercise and vitamins not disease. It's all about prevention and wellness.[14:50] How everyone is born with a certain genetic profile. [15:19] In the past science thought some DNA was junk DNA, but now they know that is not true.[15:42] Genes get transmitted down generations. The job of a gene is to make proteins. They make beneficial and harmful proteins.[16:34] We have control over the concentration of the enzymes is what makes the difference between a gene creating good or bad proteins. [17:15] Chemicals in the womb, can affect our genes. Once we are born we are exposed to an external and internal environment.[18:17] Understanding what environmental factors have affected your genes give you an opportunity to work on that. [18:54] Relationships can have a bearing on our genetic environment. [19:30] People always want to look younger. The same genes implicated in aging are the same ones in disease and stress. So things shouldn't be looked at in isolation. [20:23] Today our climate and environment and food are the biggest factors on our genes.[21:27] How junk food makes people and mice angry, fat, and stressed. We need to put a good environment in our body. The less processed stuff the better. [22:46] How most vitamin C capsules get excreted. The natural form makes more of a difference. Eating more fruit is better than taking more supplements.[25:37] Everything in moderation. Avoid processed foods and products. Eat food in the most natural form. [26:44] How we started eating processed foods in the last 100 years. The world is increasingly processed. We need to take charge of our own lives and be authentic in our environments.[28:13] All we can control is our internal environment and avoid being in polluted places.[30:47] Environmental change can be a massive part of health implications down the road. In destroying your environment, you are destroying yourself.[33:44] The lazy gene or sluggish gene in mice was corrected when they started running and doing mice endurance training. In the beginning things can be hard, but once you do it, it is not that bad.[35:24] Procrastination is a finely tuned evolutionary thing. People who were the most stressed and scared survived. [36:17] Fitness in biology means ability to propagate a gene.[37:19] How it is detrimental to our health to get stressed. There are no more saber toothed tigers. [38:01] The myth of race and what it means. How apes have pink skin and polar bears have black skin. Evolution is about the fitness of the population. We need folic acid to reproduce. Skin darkens to protect folic acid in our systems. [40:13] There is a battle between vitamin D and Folic Acid going on in our bodies. All of us are the same, changes happened according to where we are from and what we ate.[43:50] Dr. Paul is a creator because it creates curiosity and makes people better in math and science. Being creative you set the context, develop the characters, and there will always be conflict. Being creative can be a problem solving approach. [47:49] How we all need to take a step back and think about what unites us and not divides us. This is our only chance on life as what we are. If we follow our passion, we can automatically create good stuff. Links and Resources: Kristy’s Facebook Page The Myth of Race Dr. Sharad P.
