Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize hidden genetic osteoporosis risk from ALDH7A1 gene
You can have a high genetic risk for osteoporosis from the ALDH7A1 gene, which impairs bone-building in youth, even if you have a very active lifestyle.
Manage air pollution sensitivity with resveratrol
A specific overactive gene, CYP1B1, can make an individual highly sensitive to the toxic and carcinogenic effects of air pollution, a risk that can be managed with resveratrol.
Investigate vitamin C recycling to support ADHD focus
Some children diagnosed with ADHD may actually have a genetic inability to recycle vitamin C, which is essential for producing the brain chemical norepinephrine needed for focus.
Address hypercoagulability to combat dementia risk
For some people, dementia is not caused by amyloid plaques but by hypercoagulability (thick blood), which can be addressed with supplements like Pycnogenol and Nattokinase.
Maximize metabolism with intense exercise for FTO gene variant
For individuals with the FTO gene variant, intense exercise is more effective at improving metabolism than any supplement.
Address gaps in Alzheimer's risk scores for comprehensive assessment
Standard polygenic risk scores for Alzheimer's are often incomplete because they fail to account for critical factors like detoxification pathways, inflammation, and brain blood flow.
Investigate genetic links between autism and Alzheimer's disease
The genetic predisposition profiles for children with autism and adults with Alzheimer's disease are often strikingly similar, involving issues with methylation and inflammation.
Discover C15 fatty acid for superior cellular benefits
The essential fatty acid C15, found in the supplement Fatty15, was shown in research to have more cellular benefits than top longevity drugs like rapamycin and metformin.
