SNP testing ( IntellixDNA) ready for prime time?
IntellixDNA tests SNPs for things like predisposition to diabetes and make patient specific recommendations. E.G. Skinny diabetic gene: rs7903146 related to TCF7L2 which causes skinny people with low insulin levels to still get diabetes. Questions 1.Is the use of companies like IntellixDNA clinically sound, ready for prime time? 2.Do you use any of this patient specific genetics in your practice around heart disease and diabetes, especially diabetes 3.What SNP or gene testing companies do you use?
#299 - Exercise M.E.D. for anabolic response.
Hi Peter, After listening to episode #299 I didn't hear a minimum effective dose (M.E.D.) recommendation for exercise duration/intensity (resistance training and cardio) to stimulate an anabolic muscular protein synthesis. A big take away for me was the importance of consistent training to ensure that a majority of your meals would fall within the 24-hour boosted response following exercise Dr. Luc mentioned. But didn't hear what were considered minimums to stimulate this response in the body. In the Cells Report Medicine article it only states"whole body resistance exercise" was perform prior to the difference levels of milk consumption, but no specifics on what that included. Second, unrelated, question. Would Peter discuss recommendations for optimizing absorption in the GI? Ive found this is rarely controlled for in studies, due to obvious difficulties. But also isn't discussed much. So looking for some protocols for maintaining "optimal" absorption capacity in your GI.
