Health Longevity Secrets

#006-Epigenetic change is now recognized as the cumulative effect of our life experiences in controlling gene expression. What is less well known is that this epigenetic influence on our gene expression can extend back to our parents’ and even our grandparents’ life experiences. Let's dive into this fascinating topic with todays guest expert.Judith Finlayson is a best-selling author who has written books on a variety of subjects, from personal well-being and women’s history to food and nutrition. Her most recent book ‘You Are What Your Grandparents Ate’ is a revealing take on transgenerational epigenetics and has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Slovenian and Japanese. Key points:-Current understanding - genomic information is transferred but epigenetic information is wiped clean each generation-but not quite so simple. -For example, studies have shown that both the children and grandchildren of women who survived the Dutch famine of 1944-45 were found to have increased glucose intolerance in adulthood.-Other researchers have found that the descendants of Holocaust survivors have lower levels of the hormone cortisol, which helps your body bounce back after trauma.-Mechanisms for transgenerational epigenetics-David Barker- hypothesis-dietary and lifestyle choices she prioritizes to support optimal genetic expression. *** SUBSCRIBE TO ROBERT LUFKIN MD YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE ***https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2w2eKHmcRXuGR8RmTgUv3Q*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertluf...*** THINGS I ACTUALLY USE FOR MY OWN HEALTH AND LONGEVITY ***[ROBERT LUFKIN MD AMAZON INFLUENCER STOREFRONT]https://www.amazon.com/shop/robertluf...*** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ***Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact*** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.

#005-Today we learn how diet, genetics, and epigenetics interact with each other to impact our health and longevity, and how to use this information to design personalized lifestyle interventions from a true expert in the field.Dr. Lucia Aronica received her PhD from the University of Vienna and has research experience from the University of Oxford, University of Southern California, and University Federico II of Naples. She is also Lecturer at the Stanford Prevention and Research Center, Genomics Lead at Metagenics Inc., and editor of the peer-reviewed journal Life by MDPI. Take away points: -We get our genetic information from our ancestors while epigenetic information is from our life experiences-Epigenetic change can occur via three mechanisms: 1- small RNA, 2-histone modification, and 3-DNA Methylation-DNA Methylation is currently the best epigenetic modification for detailed epigenetic analysis-First generation DNA methylation clocks (Horvath et al) were chronological clocks, while second generation clocks (GrimAge, etc) tend to be biological clocks trained on specific conditions/phenotype-Chronological clocks are useful in forensic applications-Chronological age can deviate from biological age reflecting varying risk for outcomes-Athletes showing increased biological age may be related to short term inflammatory genes and cytokines for the adaptive stress response to exercise-In Ketogenic diets can see down regulation of excitatory brain pathways as possible mechanism for effects in epilepsy population-Induced pleuripotent stem cells can be produced by transcription factors that reverse epigenetic age-Biologic DNA methylation clocks are very valuable for lifestyle intervention and longevity researchlaronica@stanford.edu https://draronica.com/https://www.youtube.com/user/81luxarhttps://continuingstudies.stanford.edu/courses/liberal-arts-and-sciences/longing-for-longevity-from-biology-to-biohacking/20211_BIO-07 Gardner CD, Kiazand A, Alhassan S, Kim S, Stafford RS, Balise RR, Kraemer HC, King AC.

#003-A new MRI company with a technological twist and a revolutionary vision to transform health and longevity by low cost MR screening for cancer and other diseases. Co-founders Raj Attariwala MD and Andrew Lacy MBA JD describe their fascinating journey and the challenges of early detection of disease. Take away points: -Cancer and other disease are 5-7 times more likely to kill you if detected late.- A late diagnosis of a serious health condition often leads to a much worse outcome.-Conditions such as aneurysms, dementia, stroke risk, IBD, colitis, kidney stones do not have very effective screening tests.-Due to cost pressures in the health system, doctors may be discouraged from investigating low probability diagnoses, even if they have serious consequences for the patient. https://www.prenuvo.com/ https://omronhealthcare.com/products/heartguide-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor-bp8000m/*** SUBSCRIBE TO ROBERT LUFKIN MD YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE ***https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2w2eKHmcRXuGR8RmTgUv3Q*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertluf...*** THINGS I ACTUALLY USE FOR MY OWN HEALTH AND LONGEVITY ***[ROBERT LUFKIN MD AMAZON INFLUENCER STOREFRONT]https://www.amazon.com/shop/robertluf...*** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ***Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact*** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.
