Episode Description

<p>Today we're diving into the fascinating world of genomics and personalised nutrition. We're joined by Dr. Stuart J. Grice, a distinguished biologist and former academic at the University of Oxford, whose groundbreaking research has explored the biological mechanisms behind neuromuscular disease, neurodegeneration, and neuropsychiatric disorders. </p><br><p>Together, we'll explore the big question: How can understanding your genetics shape your long-term health? We'll discuss the usefulness of genetic testing when it comes to nutrition and health, and how it fits alongside other testing technologies like blood tests, gut microbiome analysis, and continuous glucose monitoring. Dr. Grice will introduce the concept of having a personalised profile that helps predict your future health trajectory based on current data.</p><br><p>We discuss the differences between genes that are deterministic, probabilistic and informative and whether we can predict what might happen to us in the future, even if we’re healthy now? We’ll also cover the importance of balancing different aspects of our biology to live a healthy, fulfilling life.</p><br><p>After completing his doctorate at Oxford, Stuart co-founded FitnessGenes where he currently holds the position of Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). The company is 11 years old and has received numerous awards for its innovative work in preventative healthcare. Moreover, FitnessGenes is the first company in the world to secure a patent that identifies how better health predictions can be made by combining genetic and lifestyle data.</p><br><p>🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/thedoctorskitchen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch the podcast on YouTube here</a></p><p><strong>📱</strong> <a href="https://applink.thedoctorskitchen.com/D8Et/rl6rea2q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free</a>*</p><p>🌐 <a href="https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">View full show notes, including guest details, on our website</a></p><br><p>*The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.
