Podcasts about super genes

Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Dr. Rudy Tanzi about his work in Alzheimer's Disease research, his acronym SHIELD for evading its progression, and how his background as a musician has intersected with this work.  Today's Guest Dr. Tanzi is the Vice-Chair of Neurology, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit, Co-Director of the Henry and Allison McCance Center for Brain Health, and Co-Director of the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also serves as the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Tanzi received his BS (microbiology) and BA (history) at the University of Rochester in 1980 and his PhD (neurobiology) at Harvard Medical School in 1990. Dr. Tanzi co-discovered the first Alzheimer's disease (AD) gene, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene, and the two other early-onset familial AD genes, presenilin 1 and presenilin 2. As leader of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Alzheimer's Genome Project, Dr. Tanzi identified several other AD genes, including CD33, the first AD gene shown to regulate neuroinflammation. He also discovered the Wilson's disease gene and other neurological disease genes. Dr. Tanzi's team was the first to use human stem cells to create three-dimensional neural-glial; cell culture organoids of AD, dubbed “Alzheimer's-in-a-Dish”. This model was the first to recapitulate all three key AD pathological hallmarks in vitro, and first to definitively show that amyloid plaques directly cause neurofibrillary tangles - and also made drug screening for AD faster and more cost-effective. Using this system, Dr. Tanzi has developed several novel therapies for AD including gamma secretase modulators targeting amyloid pathology and AMX0035, which was already successful in a clinical trial of ALS and now seeking FDA approval. Dr. Tanzi also discovered that beta-amyloid plays a functional role in the brain as an anti-microbial peptide, supporting a role for infection in AD pathology. Dr. Tanzi serves as Chair of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Leadership Group and numerous advisory and editorial boards. He has been named to TIME magazine's list of TIME100 Most Influential People in the World. Dr. Tanzi is a New York Times bestselling author who has co-authored the books Decoding Darkness, and the bestsellers Super Brain, Super Genes, and The Healing Self with Dr. Deepak Chopra. Dr. Tanzi has hosted several shows on public television, regularly appears on television news programs, and has testified to Congress on both Alzheimer's disease and brain health. About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California. He was a co-host on the TNT series Chasing the Cure with Ann Curry, a regular on the TV Show The Doctors for the past 7 seasons and has a weekly medical segment on ABC news Los Angeles.

Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University, Vice-Chair of Neurology, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit, and Co-Director of the Henry and Allison McCance Center for Brain Health at Massachusetts General Hospital. Ira Pastor Comments: On this episode we are going to journey back to the topic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), projected to affect over a 100 million people worldwide by mid century.  Dr. Rudolph Tanzi: Dr. Rudolph Tanzi is the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard University, Vice-Chair of Neurology, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit, and Co-Director of the Henry and Allison McCance Center for Brain Health at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and has been investigating the genetics of neurological disease since the 1980s when he participated in the first study that used genetic markers to find a disease gene for Huntington's disease. In 1990, Dr. Tanzi received his Ph.D. in neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, where his doctoral thesis was on the discovery and isolation of the first Alzheimer's disease gene - the amyloid precursor protein (APP), published in 1987 in Science. Dr. Tanzi's work in Alzheimer's disease research: Dr Tanzi co-discovered all three familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease (FAD) genes and several other neurological disease genes including those responsible for Wilson’s disease. Dr Tanzi also serves as Chair of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Leadership Group and leader of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Alzheimer’s Genome Project, where he has carried out multiple genome wide association studies (GWAS) of thousands of Alzheimer’s families leading to the identification of novel AD candidate genes, including CD33, and ADAM10 genes. Dr Tanzi has also worked on the role of zinc and copper in AD, on gamma secretase modulators for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's, and on human stem cells to create an “Alzheimer’s-in-a-Dish”, three-dimensional neural culture system, that was the first to recapitulate both pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Tanzi has published over 500 scientific papers, including the top three most cited papers in the field of Alzheimer's disease research. Dr. Tanzi also co-authored the books "Decoding Darkness: The Search the Genetic Causes of Alzheimer's Disease", the New York Times Best Selling book “Super Brain: Unleashing the Explosive Power of Your Mind to Maximize Health, Happiness, and Spiritual Well-Being”, "Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being", and "The Healing Self: A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life" with Deepak Chopra. Dr. Tanzi in the Media Dr. Tanzi has made numerous television appearances on shows such as CBS This Morning and Dr. Oz. He also hosts the shows "Super Brain with Dr. Rudy Tanzi", "Super Genes with Dr. Rudy Tanzi" and "The Brain Body Mind Connection with Dr. Rudy Tanzi and Dr. Deepak Chopra" on PBS television. In addition to his work in AD and brain health, Dr. Tanzi has wide ranging musical pursuits. Dr Tanzi professionally plays keyboards, most recently with Joe Perry and Aerosmith. He also co-wrote the song tribute to Alzheimer's patients called "Remember Me", performed by singer Chris Mann. He plays keyboards on the albums: "Aerosmith: Music from Another Dimension", and "Joe Perry: Switzerland Manifesto." On this episode we will hear from Dr Tanzi about: His background; how he developed an interest in neurobiology and the domain of AD. His work on the Alzheimer's Disease - Infectious Disease connection and the Alzheimer's Disease - Neuro-inflammation connection. His work with stem cells and regenerative medicine. His work in the area of aging, brain health and the "psycho-biologic" aspects of health and wellness. About mental health and self care during the COVID-19 crisis.

There's more to time management than meets the eye. In fact, productivity and good time management are key to unlocking greater health and wellness. When we have our energy, focus, and clear mind, any goal can be accomplished with a head-on approach.  In a world where it's easy to be overwhelmed by messages, meetings, and task lists, how can we get it all done and avoid decision fatigue day after day? Many of us are trapped by the belief that to be productive, we have to continue to stay busy and say 'yes' to every task, opportunity, or event that comes our way. However, that's the exact opposite of being good at time management. Being busy doesn't necessarily lead us to be productive or successful. It's just adding on more and more stress that we have to struggle to handle.  In fact, deciding to say 'no' to something doesn't just allow us to take time back into our own hands, but it also liberates ourselves from unworthy distractions too. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST On today's episode, public speaker, productivity coach, best selling author, and host of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast, Jeff Sanders, joins us once again to teach us how to be more productive, say 'no' and take our time into our own hands. We'll learn from Jeff about different tools and life hacks that can help us get from Point A to Point B, schedule time into batch or theme days, stay clear from distractions, and discover our own purpose behind staying determined to move forward in our goals.  Whether it's e-mails, task switching, or you're all over the place to get a project done, Jeff has the perfect piece of advice to help you manage your time.  Listen To Episode 115 As Jeff Uncovers: How he became such a thought leader in productivity. What you can do to create the reality you want regardless of the reality you have. What Jeff did to let go of the habit of being his own worse critic. How can we be more productive? What does productivity even mean? What is a batch day as far as productivity? How do theme days come into play? How can we commit ourselves to having a regular batch day? The importance of having a why or a reason for becoming more productive. How to segment time blocks during batch days. What tasks are better to do early on in the morning? How the tool, Freedom, is helping Jeff stay clear of distractions like social media, emails, and more. What are the benefits of theme days and how can they apply to anyone? How we can give ourselves the freedom to dive deep rather than hold ourselves back. The top excuses we tell ourselves that hold us back from being more productive and accomplish more each day. Why we don't have to fall victims to saying 'yes' to everything that people ask us to do for them. How does Jeff plan everything out while still having the time and energy to focus on his wellness? Why health and wellness are so pivotal for our productivity and success. Jeff's advice on how to get started on being more productive and creating better results: Make a list of what's coming up in the near future. Combine different tasks that have the same theme or are similar. Find times in your calendar and assign batch or theme days. Jeff's 2 Minute Rule for answering e-mails. How can we switch from one task to the next without losing our focus? Why we should give ourselves enough mental time to switch from a creative task to an analytical task. How to know when it's time to rethink how we're managing our time. Jeff's mantra that helps him become productive when he's busy or stressed. The most important part of the day for us to change our state. The power of saying 'no' or cutting tasks from your schedule. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Batch days can help us take advantage of the time that we have in a week. By focusing on related tasks on one day of the week, we can make better use out of our time and move forward with other tasks that we need to focus on for the remaining days. Having a why or reason behind wanting to become more productive is vital for the entire process. You don't need to get a jump start at 5 am to begin the day. When you love an activity or task and have the motivation to do it, it'll be so much easier to commit yourself to getting something done. Saying 'no' to different tasks or distractions will help you stay on track with your goals and move you forward. You can schedule out your tasks according to you energy cycles. Like Jeff, if you find that you're more productive in the morning compared to the afternoon, plan ahead to get strategic work done first thing in the morning before moving onto other basic tasks. Power Quotes From Jeff Sanders [tweetthis]"Once you realize that you control your own time, you control what you let into your life." - @JeffSandersTV[/tweetthis] "If I can build myself up from nothing to five miles a day, a marathon is the exact same thing. You just keep growing and building. And in the same sense with my life, I ask myself, 'How can I add a little more each to day to what I'm already doing?' If I can see a little growth each day, then those bigger goals that once seemed unachievable, are actually possible." - Jeff Sanders on recognizing that any goal is possible.  "When I stay committed to daily, incremental growth, it's much easier to envision what my next move is going to be." - Jeff Sanders on completing goals and tasks that can help us envision our future.  "Productivity is very much like success. It's the progressive realization of our worthy goal or worthy ideal. All in all, making progress itself is success." - Jeff Sanders on what being productive means to him.  "Rather than looking to your distractions as an excuse, think about what you could do with what you have." - Jeff Sanders "Theme days allow you to stick to one specific project or idea for an entire day. Theme days not only help you schedule for when things are going to happen, but they also allow you to say 'no' to an activity or distraction because you've already chosen how you're going to spend your day. It gives you a clear sense of priority so that you know what matters today and what does not." - Jeff Sanders on the benefit of theme days.  "Once you realize that you control your own time, you control what you let into your life. All of a sudden, you can shift gears completely and start to be more proactive on how your time is scheduled. Once you reach that point, your day becomes your own." - Jeff Sanders on how we can take control of our day and the time that is available to us. "Health and wellness is what makes productivity possible. Health is really the number one goal because it makes everything else possible. If you want to get tasks done, you have to be healthy enough to do so." - Jeff Sanders on the importance of health and wellness when it comes to our productivity.  About The 5 AM Miracle by Jeff Sanders The 5 A.M.

Today we’re talking about the incredible influence that we have to shape our brains, and even our genes! Did you know that the lifestyle choices that we make can actually optimize how our genes and brains behave, allowing us to reach a state of health and fulfillment undreamed of even a decade ago.    Our guest is Harvard Neuroscientist Dr. Rudy Tanzi.   Dr. Tanzi is a professor of Neurology at Harvard and Director of the genetics and aging research unit at Mass General Hospital. He is one of the world's foremost experts on the causes of Alzheimer’s. and was name to TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.   Dr Tanzi collaborated with physician and mind-body expert Deepak Chopra and co-authored two books - Super Brain and Super Genes, both of which absolutely blew open my mind!   Their first book, Super Brain, is a manual for relating to our brain in a new way. It shows us how to use our brain as a gateway for achieving health, happiness, and spiritual growth.   And then in their follow up Super Genes - they say that our experiences actually sculpt our genes! Crazy, right?! They say, you will always have the genes you were born with, but genes are dynamic, responding to everything we think, say, and do. So, we are the user and controller of our genes, the author of our biological story. And our everyday lifestyle and habits, whether good or bad, are changing our gene activity.     Chopra and Tanzi propose, that through a person’s increased self-awareness and conscious intention, the brain and genes can be taught to reach far beyond their present limitations. They say the brain and genes are capable of incredible healing and constant reshaping. And Through a new relationship with both you can achieve, what they call, radical well-being.  You can read the full show notes and access all the links and resources at www.thedailycordial.com

Kari hangs out with go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, and physical therapist and yoga teacher, Joanne Ambrogi to gab about March's Book Club book Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being. Runner of the Week, Kelly Martin, shares her experience running with her dog, Mya. Want in on a little secret? We've found the modern-day manual of how to live! Are you stuck with your genetic destiny and you think there's nothing you can do about it? Or do you think we “manipulate” our genes through particular lifestyles to change our destiny? On the show today, we share what the March Book Club book means to us. Here are some helpful links: Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being by Deepak Chopra, MD, and Rudolph E. Tanzi PhD Go Wild: Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization by Dr. John Ratey TRLS Episode 123: “Seven Ways To Take Control Of Your Health” TRLS Episode 53: “John Ratey” Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation by Norman E. Rosenthal, MD A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last by Stephen Levine Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin TRLS Episode 64: “The Power of Habit and the Need To Believe”   Super Talk: March Book Club Want in on a little secret? We've found the modern-day manual of how to live! Are you stuck with your genetic destiny and there's nothing you can do about it? Or can you “manipulate” your genes through particular lifestyles to change your fate? Kari, Serena, and Joanne talk about March's Book Club featured pick, Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being. Serena explains what the terms “radical well-being,” “epigenetics,” and “microbium” mean. The main concept of the book is how genes are not hard wired. In essence, the DNA that we get from our parents sets up the blueprint of how we'll look, what diseases we may get one day, and so on, Years ago, doctors thought that the cards you got dealt were the cards you had, so to speak. But Super Genes defies this notion. Kari notes that the book states that your DNA accounts for only 5 percent of what could happen to you. Joanne points out that some people will say, “Oh, I can't do anything about it, because my [fill in family member] had [fill in disease], so now I'm destined to have it.” She feels that this book brings about an awareness where it's very empowering if you choose to take the book's message. The books gives you ways to take the message and put it into practical life. Kari loves that the book emphasizes choice. Go Wild: Free Your Body and Mind from the Afflictions of Civilization by Dr. John Ratey mentions inflammation, as does Super Genes. We know about diet, and Serena has talked about anti-inflammatory diets, since running causes inflammation in our bodies. (Listen to Episode 123: “Seven Ways To Take Control Of Your Health” and Episode 53: “John Ratey” as examples of this.) Kari thought that the cornerstones in Super Genes were diet, stress, meditation, sleep, and emotions were especially interesting, because they are very similar to Dr. John Ratey's six keys to living a healthier lifestyle. Serena' favorite part of the book that threw her of her feet was how the authors mention that psychosocial dwarfism is real. Joanne piggybacks off of Serena's comments about psychosocial dwarfism in how real it is to keep your stress levels down while pregnant. Joanne points out that you really are the one to determine what the advice will do for you. Having the wherewithal to understand what we don't understand means needing to slowing down. The book talks about one of the activities that you really need to do—meditation/yoga. Kari found the different meditation styles very interesting, because it relates to the June Book Club book, Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation by Norman E. Rosenthal, MD. Joanne talks about what helps her sleep and what yogendra is. Kari mentions that the book talks about things that are going on that we think help us, but really don't, like multitasking Kari's greatest takeaway is the word “success.” Success is such a powerful word, but “well-being” isn't as much. How about defining success as living your life well? Kari talks about A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last by Stephen Levine. Joanne would want folks to know that it takes courage to look at your life and to truly sit back and act as if this was the last year of your life. How much of your time did you spend sitting down watching TV or on the computer, for example? Kari mentions a woman named Allison who practices ayurvedic medicine who works with Joanne. Joanne wasn't surprised at all that Super Genes talks about it. The book talks about how you think determines what types of exercise you choose, what types of foods you eat, and so on, and to balance that is something that most people don't really think about. Kari mentions the four types of people from Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life by Gretchen Rubin. Be aware of your life, and what you think is so key. The book is reader-friendly, and it lays out what you can do if you want to live well. Take one thing at a time, and it's very realistic. Serena likes how the book shows how powerful the holistic mindset is. The placebo effect and mindset are powerful. She loved reading the science to why that is true. Joanne thinks that the book gives you practical applications to things, and it meets people at different levels depending on what you're trying to gain by reading the book. Listen to Episode 64: “The Power of Habit and the Need To Believe.” To give feedback or ask questions, connect with Kari on Twitter, Facebook, or via e-mail! Runner of the Week: Kelly Martin Canadian resident Kelly joins Kari, along with her dog, Mia, who is a sheepadoodle, to chat about how it is to run with Mia and why she chose the particular breed. Kari references Episode 127: “How To Run With And Away From Dogs With Veterinarian Ernie Ward.” She tells Kari that working breeds make good running dogs. She started running with Mia when Mia was two years old. Dogs' bones can be fully grown before you can run with them. She runs with Mia six days a week at around a nine-minute mile pace. Pick the right dog. When talking to breeders or a rescue facility, make sure the dog is a high-energy dog. She's been running for about ten years, and her advice is to just keep going. The hardest part is the first kilometer (or mile). Kari mentions that TRLS Action for Healthy Kids teammates Foti and Todd both run with their dogs. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Joanne is grateful to be able to look outside and see the sun and the breeze. She felt rich gratitude. Serena is grateful for her family in New Jersey. She's grateful that so many of her family and friends live on the Jersey Shore and that she has a true feeling of being wrapped in the most wonderful nostalgia and being on the water. She's so grateful that she can relive beautiful memories of her childhood. Kari is grateful for Super Genes and to be able to talk to Serena and Joanne about it—to be able to look at the information and to ask what they think. Next week, Kari interviews Norman E. Rosenthal, MD, who wrote Super Mind: How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer and Happier Life through Transcendental Meditation.
