Battling Autoimmunity and Reinventing Your Diet with Dr. Stephanie Nielsen

There are two kinds of people we usually learn from on The DNA Talks Podcast: a patient who has been cured of a chronic disease or an expert in the field who is capable of pinpointing the root causes and solutions to them. Today, we get to learn from Dr. Stephanie Nielsen, who is considered both and continues to be a stellar example of how a decision to change and commit to a lifestyle that suits your DNA is the best decision you could ever make in your lifetime.Dr. Stephanie Nielsen is currently a Functional Genomics Practitioner at The DNA Company. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.) at the University of Nebraska. Her clinical degree focused on integrative studies where she was responsible for prescribing and managing drug therapies for patients. She spent the next decade educating physicians on appropriate drug therapy applications.Currently, Dr. Nielsen works in conjunction with a number of physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, and acupuncturists as she specializes in difficult nutritional cases that often deal with allergies and autoimmune issues.Throughout the discussion, Kashif and Dr. Stephanie go through Dr. Stephanie's personal experience with her celiac disease, an autoimmune disease wherein the presence of gluten makes a person's immune system attack the body. Dr. Stephanie discusses how she was able to overcome this by simply being mindful of her lifestyle and maintaining it even after she has gotten better.Aside from reinventing your lifestyle and diet, Kashif and Dr. Stephanie also touch on the development of vitamins and how crucial they are in today's time. Back then, nutrient-dense food was made accessible, but with the increasing demand and want to supply more, food companies sought out profit at the expense of their consumers' health.Here are the rest of the highlights found in the episode:00:00 Introduction02:20 Dr. Stephanie's Background with Celiac Disease06:14 Treating Celiac with a Restrictive Diet12:55 The Truth and Development of Vitamins17:26 Autoimmunity27:11 DNA Profiles35:13 Menopause, and the Menstrual Cycle43:01 Sick Care and MedicineThis episode may also be streamed on YouTube.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

Understanding and Managing Your Gut Microbiome with Kashif Khan

Leaky gut is a term that is widespread on social media, but do we truly understand how much our gut microbiome impacts our overall health?In this episode, Kashif delves into our gut, recognizing its ability to affect how quickly we age, our capacity for recovering from illnesses within a certain period of time, the neurochemicals in our brain, and simply our overall health.This is explained within the context of today's reality, with the lack of nutrient-dense foods and the presence of various types of toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, hope is not completely lost as there are steps that we can take to prevent sickness and properly manage our gut. This involves looking into fasting, the processes that our genes are capable of, and taking tests to gain a clearer view of diets and lifestyle changes that are within reach for a cleaner, healthier gut.Here are the highlights of today's episode:00:00 Introduction00:50 Case Studies in Relation to Gut Health05:29 The Benefits of Fasting06:26 The Importance of Managing Your Gut08:58 The Relation Between Your Brain and Your Gut13:34 The GSTM1 Gene15:21 Today's Reality and How it Affects Your Health19:55 Supporting Your Gut23:15 The DNA Company's Gut Microbiome Test24:55 Conclusion▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

Mitigating Toxic Load Through Detoxification with Dr. Tim Jackson, DPT

Did you know that the body is naturally capable of healing?Your body has its own natural healing state but is usually unable to do so due to the tremendous amount of toxins that we get from mold, EMFs, and other environmental factors.In this episode, Dr. Lara Varden is joined by Dr. Tim Jackson, DPT, in discussing how we are able to mitigate the mentioned toxic load through proper detoxification. Dr. Tim Jackson is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Orthopedic Rehabilitation, as well as a Functional Medicine provider. He holds a B.S. Degree in Health Science and Chemistry from Wake Forest University. He serves clients in over 15 countries through his telehealth practice at www.healyourbody.org and has helped thousands over the last 8 years.Dr. Jackson is the creator of the “The Heal Your Hormones” bootcamp for neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse’s membership community and has contributed to the book “Diagnostic Testing and Functional Medicine” by Ameer Rosic. He has been featured in The Huffington Post, the “Bulletproof Executive,” and “Ben Greenfield Fitness” podcasts, on multiple health and medical summits, and in two health documentaries. Dr. Tim hosts The Boss Body Podcast.Throughout the episode, Dr. Lara and Dr. Tim go into detail on the possible factors that contribute to inflammation and toxic load, which actually affect a person's quality of sleep and day-to-day living. In fact, deep sleep requires the body to be cleansed of these toxins, and there are ways that are free of cost that enable you to do so.Here are timestamps of this episode's highlights:00:00 Introduction05:22 Being a Doctor of Physical Therapy in the Functional Medicine World11:02 Small Devices, Remarkable Changes16:27 The Effects of Toxic Load to Your Sleep Quality19:10 Mold Toxicity and the Endocrine System29:22 Epigenetic and Whole Body Standpoint on Glutathione Intake35:20 The Vagus Nerve and the Anti-Inflammatory Reflex47:23 EMFs, Mold, and Hypersensitivity: Utilizing Your Detoxification Pathways▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Learn more about Dr. Tim Jackson today!Visit his website at https://healyourbody.org/Follow Dr. Tim Jackson on Instagram at @drtimjacksonConsult with Dr. Tim at https://healyourbody.org/apply-to-work-with-dr-tim/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

The Truth and History Behind the Science of Functional Genomics with Dr. Mansoor Mohammed

Genetics is the transcript of your own personal health. We often perceive it as something that dictates health issues are hereditary, but the truth is that no one was born with chronic illnesses. How should we then perceive and interpret genetics?In this episode, Dr. Krista Kostroman is joined by Dr. Mansoor Mohammed, PhD. Dr. Mansoor is one of the founding members of The DNA Company, as he has committed his life to studying genetics and all fields that revolve around it. He is a recognized authority in the fields of medical genomics and personalized medicine. He holds several patents in the general fields of molecular diagnostics and genomics research. Dr. Mohammed completed his doctoral dissertation at the University of Guelph, Canada, majoring in both Molecular Immunology and Transgenic Technologies. He completed postdoctoral training in Clinical Cytogenetics at both UCLA and Baylor College of Medicine.Before becoming the scientific founder of The DNA Company, Dr. Mohammed co-founded Younique Genomics, served as the President and CEO of CombiMatrix Diagnostics—where he oversaw the development of one of the most comprehensive genomics testing menus in the diagnostic industry—and was the Director of Advanced Technologies at Quest Diagnostics, where he was honored with the Medical Innovation Award, the highest accolade given for excellence in medical research. Before his role at Quest Diagnostics, Dr. Mohammed was a founder and Director of Research and Development at Spectral Genomics. At Spectral Genomics, Dr. Mohammed pioneered the development of commercial Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) array technologies and was responsible for the design and launch of the industry’s first commercially available CGH arrays.Together, Dr. Krista and Dr. Mansoor go through the different stages and understandings of DNA that Dr. Mansoor went through - calling this the four epochs of his career.During the first epoch, Dr. Mansoor invented this whole-genome technology where he studied human antibodies and looked into animal models to deepen the study of human genetic makeup. This led him to found companies such as Spectral Genomics, and with the knowledge they had at that time, they were able to focus on what was broken with the human body and use the study of DNA to find solutions to this.Moving on to 2011, he entered the second epoch of his career where he questioned why they do not delve further than what was broken. This initiated Dr. Mansoor to dive deeper and study genomics with the addition of functional genomics.After continually studying what is unknown regarding a person's genomics, then comes the birth of The DNA Company. This story showcases how our clinicians today are able to prevent any possible illness by looking into a person's unique genetic makeup - even down to the body's smallest nuances.Onto the third epoch, the amount of information gathered must be handled with care so as not to dilute it into a soundbite that suggests that science is binary but rather give science its due right. This was when he realized that there was more to be done and stepped away to focus on studying yet continually serving people.Lastly, the fourth epoch dives into the study of hormone replacement and the continuous journey of advocating and researching for optimal human health, nutrition, lifestyle, andMedical Disclaimer: The information provided in this communication is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Alzheimer's and Your DNA with Kashif Khan

As the new year begins, 2023 recaps come across your feed filled with memories made over the past year. Unfortunately for some, the topic of memories often leads to the worry of being at risk of Alzheimer's, as this disease is often related to aging, leaving out the actual factors behind it.In this episode, Kashif delves into the reality behind Alzheimer's, the most common type of dementia in which symptoms include memory loss, lessened or loss of awareness of one's surroundings, weight loss, among others. Starting off with an example from Chris Hemsworth's show "Limitless," Chris was told that he was eight to ten times more at risk of getting dementia but was never told ways to prevent it, as Kashif points out.Kashif then explains the potential risk factors as well as the habits and lifestyle that contribute to having Alzheimer's besides aging - the number one cause being inflammation. Inflammation in the brain does not occur instantly but is developed over the years with our choices and the reality of the environment in which we now live. This fact prompts Kashif to look into the difference in the reality of our ancestors who lived healthily and lacked stimulations from EMFs, pollution, and food with no nutritional value.These factors revealed in the episode are related to studies made regarding genetics, mitochondria, metabolic health, leaky gut, and energetics. They explain how dementia develops over the years, as no one is born with dementia or any symptoms of it. Here are the highlights of this episode: 00:30 Introduction to Alzheimer's00:52 Chris Hemsworth and His Risk to Dementia02:35 The Job of the APOE Gene and its Relation to Dementia03:22 Dementia as the "Type 3 Diabetes"05:24 The Root Causes of Inflammation to the Brain06:11 Studies Made in Relation Fixing the Brain by Tom O'Bryan and Mark Hyman08:09 Reaching Your 30's and Mitochondria Depletion09:35 Metabolic Health10:49 Leaky Gut12:19 Leaky Brain12:49 Women: Having Higher Risk for Dementia14:43 Ancestors and Chronic Inflammation19:02 Stress, Longevity, and Dementia24:49 Maintenance Plan and Conclusion▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

How Light Affects Our Circadian Rhythm and Overall Health with Roudy Nassif of Vivarays

Do you struggle with restlessness, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping? You may just find the solution to all of that in this episode!Join Dr. Lara Varden as she interviews Roudy Nassif, the founder of Vivarays, leading the Light Revolution. His company is responsible for introducing the world's first circadian light-harmonizing eyewear. These glasses harmonize the adverse effects of artificial light coming from screens and indoor light bulbs, helping individuals sync with nature's rhythm for a more vibrant life.In this episode, Dr. Lara and Roudy discuss the following points:Roudy's Story:Roudy has suffered from ADHD, headaches, and eyestrain since childhood. No matter what he did - consulting with doctors, trying out different diets and supplements, and seeking advice from various health experts - he was unable to feel better. He continued to struggle with sleep and productivity.He carried this frustration as he grew older, still unable to find any solution. That is until he tried farming and lived a life exposed to the outdoors, with the sunrise and sunset just around the corner. This life-changing experience allowed his health to transform, with remarkable changes to his sleep, focus, and overall health. This led to his curiosity in studying light and its effects on the circadian rhythm.Light and the Circadian Rhythm:Light sends signals to your body regarding which hormones it must produce at specific points of the day. The reason we feel sleepy, energized, or productive is all affected by the intensity and type of light we expose ourselves to.Take the sun as an example. The sun provides natural blue light that does not spike like artificial blue light. It is also mixed with different shades, allowing our bodies to become energized and alert as we start the day and expose ourselves to sunlight, leading to cortisol production. As the day progresses, we have the sunset, which has a more red hue, reminiscent of the bonfires that our ancestors exposed themselves to at the end of the day, ramping up melatonin levels and preparing us for sleep.Vivarays and Aiding with Light Exposure:Understanding how light affects our bodies, Roudy developed Vivarays. Vivarays are revolutionary lenses that provide all-day protection, allowing us to reclaim nature's dark/light cycles with a pair of glasses. This one-of-a-kind eco-friendly lens technology allows you to sleep and function better, giving your body just what it needs at different points of the day.00:00 The DNA Talks Podcast Intro00:30 Episode Introduction02:57 Roudy's Story10:22 Roudy's Life-Changing Experience15:27 Law of Relativity by Albert Einstein17:40 Light and Sleep19:00 Blue-blocking glasses26:00 Detox and Mitochondrial Function30:40 The Circadian Rhythm37:17 DNA Reports39:52 VivaRays42:19 The Reality of Blue Light50:42 Sleep Masks57:10 Prescription Lenses01:02:09 Socials and Conclusion▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Learn more about VivaRays today!Visit their website at https://vivarays.com/Grab your own pair and use the code "DNACO" for a 10% discount upon checkout at https://vivarays.com/collections/clipngo-3-in-1Avail of the webinar on Medical Disclaimer: The information provided in this communication is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
