We know ovulation is important for reproduction, but did you know that it’s a critical indicator of general health? In this episode, Lara Briden delves into the physiological role of ovulation outside of reproduction and takes us through the many health benefits women gain from quality ovulatory cycling. Lara shares how oestrogen helps regulate metabolic flexibility, why the brain loves oestrogen, and the importance of progesterone for immunity, neurological health and inflammation. Lara also goes into why shutting down ovulation with hormonal birth control is detrimental to women's wellbeing as well as how to differentiate between PCOS and hypothalamic amenorrhoea.Find today's show notes and transcript here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/omicspodcast/ovulation-beyond-reproduction-lara-briden *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.

How often are you thinking about a patient's choline status? In this episode, Dr Jonathan Bortz discusses his journey into developing pharmaceuticals and supplements, and how it brought him to look at choline in a different light. He talks about the story of choline as a “one carbon metabolism,” as well as the various uses of choline in the body, including its role in methylation, genetics, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Find today's show notes and transcript here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/omicspodcast/more-methylation-crucial-role-choline-dr-jonathan-bortz *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.

The rate of Alzheimer's disease is predicted to triple by the year 2056. The question in personalised medicine is, can genetic screening and targeting modifiable risk factors downgrade the disease onset in identified at-risk individuals? In this week’s episode, nutritional genomics consultant Dr Sasja Beetstra-Hill guides us through the emerging connection the ApoE4 gene is showing as a predictive screening option for Alzheimer's disease risk. Could this assessment lead to earlier intervention and help clinicians and patients get out in front of Alzheimer's disease before it's progressed beyond the reach of therapy?

In the words of Dr Yael Joffe, health practitioners of all disciplines need to engage in learning about genetics and genomics or risk being left behind. Tune in to today's episode as Mark and Yael discuss the differences between nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, why nutrition is a more sustainable choice over drug therapies, the role of Nrf2 as a master regulator and why MTHFR was nutrigenomics 'darkest hour'.

Don’t underestimate the power of food in our past, present and future evolutionary biology. Today, Mark is talking with Dr Christine Houghton who has amassed over three decades of wisdom in clinical nutrition and has a passion for the interplay of nutrigenomics with the food and nutrients we consume. Christine takes us back to the basics with a review of the terminology that makes up the field of genetics in healthcare. She navigates us through the epigenetic and gene expression effects of the foods we eat, the microbiome and the influence our genes have on many pathways of the body including methylation, inflammation and detoxification. One message is resoundingly clear: when it comes to positively influencing our genes, there is no single supplementary intervention that can substitute for the complexities of the phytonutrients we obtain from having a diet rich in diverse foods.

What is culinary genomics? Today we are joined by Amanda Archibald, founder of "The Genomic Kitchen." Amanda has a vision for bringing genomic science into the public health system and onto the plates of everyday consumers. Amanda takes us through the steps she's taken to get hospitals in California to pilot a program to bring a nutrigenomic approach to the foods they're serving. She also discusses how genomics helps us to see nutritional biochemistry in 3D and how it can help us to connect the dots and move away from the traditional, reductionist approach to food selection.
