We've had a little over 18 years to research what genes control in the human body since the humane genome was first mapped in 2003. Since then, we have come a long way, but there is still a lot more to go.We are discovering that some genes can be impacted by the foods that we eat, or the way that we eat. As the research continues, this is going to lead to some really neat future advancements in health.What To Expect From This Episode What have we learned so far about the human genes How our environment can impact our gene expression Why many gene-based recommendations should be taken with a grain of saltHow to test for the important genes we actually understand (at this point) Shownotes* [0:00] Welcome to the Summit For Wellness Podcast* [2:45] Dr. Yael Joffe originally started in architecture before she became fascinated with genomics* [6:30] How did researchers figure out which specific genes are correlated with different conditions* [10:45] What adaptations have our genes gone through over different generations* [13:00] Our fast changes in the world, such as increased environmental toxins, are changing our genes. We just don't know how much* [14:45] There was research done on the umbilical cord of pregnant women, and babies are exposed to over 200 environmental toxins before they are even born* [17:00] Being exposed to these toxins before even being born, will this change our genes to be more resilient to environmental toxins* [18:45] What type of genes can be correlated to foods that are good for you* [22:15] Can our genes tell us what percentage of macronutrients we should be consuming* [24:00] Many companies feel they need to give you information to follow, even though the science doesn't support it* [28:00] What will the future look like when we understand more about individual health recommendations* [30:00] How do epigenetics impact how our genes express themselves* [36:00] What is 3x4 Genetics and how is their testing different than other companies* [43:00] Are there common misunderstanding around diet-based DNA* [46:00] What are 3 things Dr. Yael Joffe does to improve her own health Transcript For Episode (Transcripts aren't even close to 100% Accurate) Bryan Carroll: [00:00:15] back in 2003, the human genome project was completed. If you don't know what the human genome project is, it was an international scientific research project. That sole purpose was to map out the human genome, which first began in , 90, 13 years later, the project was finally complete.And since then researchers have been working hard to try to understand exactly how these individual genes work and what can influence them. What's up everyone. I'm Bryan Carroll and I'm here to help people move more, eat well and be adventurous. And in this episode, I have Dr. Yael Joffe on the show to talk about Nutrogenomix, which is how nutrition can impact your genes.All the research around this topic at this point is very complicated and there is still a ton that we do not know, but Dr. Joffee does a fantastic job of sharing some of the information we currently do know and what you can do with that information. Before we dive into this episode, I have been seeing so many people right now having issues with muscle cramps, which is an indication that your electrolytes are out of balance.I have been testing out a new electrolyte product called LMNT, and so far it has been fantastic. I usually only like to drink water because I'm not really a big flavor type of person, but their flavors are really good. I'm a fan of the raspberry salt flavor. And Sarah really likes the orange salt.LMNTis also low carb sugar-free and has no questionable ingredient, unlike a lot of other electrolytes out there. So to try out LMNT go-to summer for wellness.com/l M N T.
