All the Ways Inflammation and DNA Affect Cardiovascular Health – Mansoor Mohammed, Ph.D. with Dave Asprey : 742

Sep 22, 2020

Mansoor Mohammed, Ph.D., is a medical genomics pioneer and the chief scientific officer at The DNA Company. In this engaging discussion, he reveals how cardiovascular disease often begins with the blood vessel lining rather than the heart. The conversation dives into how inflammation, influenced by genetics and diet, plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health. Mansoor also highlights the significance of understanding genetic predispositions and lifestyle choices in combating inflammation and promoting heart health.

INSIGHT

CVD Triangle

Cardiovascular disease often begins with inflammation in blood vessel linings, not the heart itself.
This inflammation is influenced by what's in your blood, the lining's resilience, and your body's inflammation control.

INSIGHT

9P21 Markers

The 9P21 genetic markers indicate the resilience of your endothelial glycocalyx (blood vessel lining).
More G alleles at these markers correlate with a weaker lining, increasing cardiovascular risk.

ANECDOTE

Dave's 6G Genotype

Dave Asprey reveals he has the least favorable 9P21 genotype (6Gs), increasing his susceptibility to inflammation.
This genotype also affects nerve lining resilience, making him more vulnerable to Lyme and mold.

In this extended episode of Bulletproof Radio, I have a returning guest, medical genomics pioneer and molecular immunologist Mansoor Mohammed, Ph.D. He’s president and chief scientific officer of The DNA Company, based in Canada. He holds several patents in the general fields of molecular diagnostics and genomics research.

We’ll be talking about how your DNA affects your cardiovascular health. There are three major factors that form a triangle of cardiovascular disease, says Mansoor.

“The first thing that you need to know is that most cardiovascular disease does not start with the heart. It starts with the lining of the blood vessels.”

“Second, what are things in the blood that give rise to inflammation of that lining and do damage?”

“Third, how good is the body at controlling those things that get into the bloodstream that would otherwise be inflammatory? How good is your carb metabolism? Much of what we think of in macronutrients–it’s not about the fats.”

All three of these factors are underlined by one commonality: “Inflammation is pretty much the bedrock of most dysfunction in the body,” Mansoor says.
