so we hear a lot of mixed messages about nutrition how should we all be eating
nutrition how should we all be eating
nutrition how should we all be eating she would be vegan paleo gluten-free so
she would be vegan paleo gluten-free so
she would be vegan paleo gluten-free so if we can’t even decide on what we
if we can’t even decide on what we
if we can’t even decide on what we should be doing about the egg I’m sure
should be doing about the egg I’m sure
should be doing about the egg I’m sure you guys have heard you know maybe it’s
you guys have heard you know maybe it’s
you guys have heard you know maybe it’s all good for you or maybe we got to wash
all good for you or maybe we got to wash
all good for you or maybe we got to wash up that yolk that saturated fat
up that yolk that saturated fat
up that yolk that saturated fat cholesterol well what about the people
cholesterol well what about the people
cholesterol well what about the people who are allergic to the egg whites in
who are allergic to the egg whites in
who are allergic to the egg whites in there so ultimately the answer is it
there so ultimately the answer is it
there so ultimately the answer is it depends so as we start unveiling the
depends so as we start unveiling the
depends so as we start unveiling the genome and all these science behind
genome and all these science behind
genome and all these science behind there and entering into medical
there and entering into medical
there and entering into medical advancements cancer treatments we need
advancements cancer treatments we need
advancements cancer treatments we need to be using that same technology in
to be using that same technology in
to be using that same technology in those same innovations towards nutrition
those same innovations towards nutrition
those same innovations towards nutrition so doing this will allow us to make
so doing this will allow us to make
so doing this will allow us to make three key innovations we’re gonna be
three key innovations we’re gonna be
three key innovations we’re gonna be able to prevent disease improve
able to prevent disease improve
able to prevent disease improve performance and just feel better in
performance and just feel better in
performance and just feel better in general so my journey into nutrition
general so my journey into nutrition
general so my journey into nutrition started first as an athlete and then
started first as an athlete and then
started first as an athlete and then eventually as a strength coach where I
eventually as a strength coach where I
eventually as a strength coach where I worked with a Utah Grizzlies hockey team
worked with a Utah Grizzlies hockey team
worked with a Utah Grizzlies hockey team trained athletes for the 2012 London
trained athletes for the 2012 London
trained athletes for the 2012 London Olympics so in working with these teams
Olympics so in working with these teams
Olympics so in working with these teams nutritionists we found a pretty common
nutritionists we found a pretty common
nutritionists we found a pretty common issue which was athletes responded very
issue which was athletes responded very
issue which was athletes responded very differently to their diets now they were
differently to their diets now they were
differently to their diets now they were mostly eating the same things which was
mostly eating the same things which was
mostly eating the same things which was but the science was recommending at the
but the science was recommending at the
but the science was recommending at the time but some athletes had great
time but some athletes had great
time but some athletes had great responses and some had inflammation and
responses and some had inflammation and
responses and some had inflammation and just did not respond as well in general
just did not respond as well in general
just did not respond as well in general so I started investigating the
so I started investigating the
so I started investigating the literature and thinking about why would
literature and thinking about why would
literature and thinking about why would that be so as I took a deep dive I found
that be so as I took a deep dive I found
that be so as I took a deep dive I found out there’s a lot of information out
out there’s a lot of information out
out there’s a lot of information out there and also a lot of misinformation
there and also a lot of misinformation
there and also a lot of misinformation so you know we can all we’ve all heard
so you know we can all we’ve all heard
so you know we can all we’ve all heard of all these different diets so you can
of all these different diets so you can
of all these different diets so you can have heard about the ketogenic diet low
have heard about the ketogenic diet low
have heard about the ketogenic diet low carb grapefruit diet the cookie diet you
carb grapefruit diet the cookie diet you
carb grapefruit diet the cookie diet you can really find anything you want to see
can really find anything you want to see
can really find anything you want to see but if there is one that worked for
but if there is one that worked for
but if there is one that worked for everybody I think we’d all be using it
everybody I think we’d all be using it
everybody I think we’d all be using it by now which means that we need to do a
by now which means that we need to do a
by now which means that we need to do a little bit of a deeper dive into why
little bit of a deeper dive into why
little bit of a deeper dive into why this is a case why we need to look at
this is a case why we need to look at
this is a case why we need to look at each person full-sized of one so we
each person full-sized of one so we
each person full-sized of one so we still need to also come back to whether
still need to also come back to whether
still need to also come back to whether or not that egg is something we should
or not that egg is something we should
or not that egg is something we should be going for so as we start looking at
be going for so as we start looking at
be going for so as we start looking at genetics
genetics
genetics and at our own individual sequencing
and at our own individual sequencing
and at our own individual sequencing through companies such as alumina and
through companies such as alumina and
through companies such as alumina and 23andme
23andme
23andme we’re gonna be able to find out what in
we’re gonna be able to find out what in
we’re gonna be able to find out what in our genome allows us to have our own
our genome allows us to have our own
our genome allows us to have our own specific diets what’s going to give us
specific diets what’s going to give us
specific diets what’s going to give us the best response the issue here is that
the best response the issue here is that
the best response the issue here is that if we look at our genes and each
if we look at our genes and each
if we look at our genes and each individual base pair which is how we
individual base pair which is how we
individual base pair which is how we sequence the genome how it all fits
sequence the genome how it all fits
sequence the genome how it all fits together so that’s three billion base
together so that’s three billion base
together so that’s three billion base pairs which is enough to fill 200 phone
pairs which is enough to fill 200 phone
pairs which is enough to fill 200 phone books if you guys remember what those
books if you guys remember what those
books if you guys remember what those are so how do we use all that
are so how do we use all that
are so how do we use all that information and get something tangible
information and get something tangible
information and get something tangible out of there how do we find out how this
out of there how do we find out how this
out of there how do we find out how this is actually going to help us and figured
is actually going to help us and figured
is actually going to help us and figured yeah work towards our individual diet so
yeah work towards our individual diet so
yeah work towards our individual diet so when we start looking at sequencing
when we start looking at sequencing
when we start looking at sequencing companies and they start analyzing our
companies and they start analyzing our
companies and they start analyzing our individual genomes we’ve been finding
individual genomes we’ve been finding
individual genomes we’ve been finding genes which we can block into actionable
genes which we can block into actionable
genes which we can block into actionable information and what is going to allow
information and what is going to allow
information and what is going to allow us to really make improvements in our
us to really make improvements in our
us to really make improvements in our everyday life and come up with
everyday life and come up with
everyday life and come up with personalized nutrition in much the same
personalized nutrition in much the same
personalized nutrition in much the same way as we use personalized medicine to
way as we use personalized medicine to
way as we use personalized medicine to treat cancer now so moving on to
treat cancer now so moving on to
treat cancer now so moving on to preventing disease so we’re gonna start
preventing disease so we’re gonna start
preventing disease so we’re gonna start out by looking at a pony for so this is
out by looking at a pony for so this is
out by looking at a pony for so this is a gene that has to do with how you
a gene that has to do with how you
a gene that has to do with how you metabolize fat so going back to that egg
metabolize fat so going back to that egg
metabolize fat so going back to that egg you know if you have an eighth book the
you know if you have an eighth book the
you know if you have an eighth book the positive gene for apoe4 you don’t do as
positive gene for apoe4 you don’t do as
positive gene for apoe4 you don’t do as well with dietary cholesterol and you
well with dietary cholesterol and you
well with dietary cholesterol and you don’t do as well with certain saturated
don’t do as well with certain saturated
don’t do as well with certain saturated fats so in knowing that you can lower
fats so in knowing that you can lower
fats so in knowing that you can lower the inflammation as you guys can see on
the inflammation as you guys can see on
the inflammation as you guys can see on the left you have markers and flama
the left you have markers and flama
the left you have markers and flama inflammation which lead to Alzheimer’s
inflammation which lead to Alzheimer’s
inflammation which lead to Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease so if you guys
disease and heart disease so if you guys
disease and heart disease so if you guys know what you’re looking for you can
know what you’re looking for you can
know what you’re looking for you can really take an actionable item to
really take an actionable item to
really take an actionable item to prevent these diseases long term so
prevent these diseases long term so
prevent these diseases long term so another example that we’re gonna talk
another example that we’re gonna talk
another example that we’re gonna talk about its folate so this is the MTHFR
about its folate so this is the MTHFR
about its folate so this is the MTHFR gene guess what scientists have
gene guess what scientists have
gene guess what scientists have nicknamed that so
nicknamed that so
nicknamed that so this gene is responsible for how you
this gene is responsible for how you
this gene is responsible for how you metabolize folate which helps work it’s
metabolize folate which helps work it’s
metabolize folate which helps work it’s a building block of basic cells and how
a building block of basic cells and how
a building block of basic cells and how you metabolize amino acids so if you
you metabolize amino acids so if you
you metabolize amino acids so if you have a healthy marker you can use that
have a healthy marker you can use that
have a healthy marker you can use that folate as a solid foundation you have no
folate as a solid foundation you have no
folate as a solid foundation you have no issues there and this is especially
issues there and this is especially
issues there and this is especially important with people for example
important with people for example
important with people for example expectant mothers so if you guys know
expectant mothers so if you guys know
expectant mothers so if you guys know prenatal vitamins they have folic acid
prenatal vitamins they have folic acid
prenatal vitamins they have folic acid in there and it’s really important for
in there and it’s really important for
in there and it’s really important for the baby’s development stabs off certain
the baby’s development stabs off certain
the baby’s development stabs off certain diseases but if you have the inactive
diseases but if you have the inactive
diseases but if you have the inactive version of the MTHFR gene you don’t
version of the MTHFR gene you don’t
version of the MTHFR gene you don’t absorb these folic acids from the
absorb these folic acids from the
absorb these folic acids from the supplements so you really need to start
supplements so you really need to start
supplements so you really need to start looking at your foods for example
looking at your foods for example
looking at your foods for example spinach other leafy greens to get that
spinach other leafy greens to get that
spinach other leafy greens to get that folate in there to help with your baby’s
folate in there to help with your baby’s
folate in there to help with your baby’s health so otherwise if you don’t take
health so otherwise if you don’t take
health so otherwise if you don’t take the proper action you don’t have a great
the proper action you don’t have a great
the proper action you don’t have a great foundation and can lead to certain
foundation and can lead to certain
foundation and can lead to certain diseases and disabilities so moving on
diseases and disabilities so moving on
diseases and disabilities so moving on to performance now we all know that
to performance now we all know that
to performance now we all know that people training for a marathon loved to
people training for a marathon loved to
people training for a marathon loved to carb load we know people who are trying
carb load we know people who are trying
carb load we know people who are trying to add muscle they like to pack on the
to add muscle they like to pack on the
to add muscle they like to pack on the protein but in terms of actually taking
protein but in terms of actually taking
protein but in terms of actually taking a tangible step to have a better feeling
a tangible step to have a better feeling
a tangible step to have a better feeling better performance we need to start
better performance we need to start
better performance we need to start looking at the genetics so some people
looking at the genetics so some people
looking at the genetics so some people don’t respond well to certain nutrients
don’t respond well to certain nutrients
don’t respond well to certain nutrients for example certain types of fat and we
for example certain types of fat and we
for example certain types of fat and we can look at your genetics to help you
can look at your genetics to help you
can look at your genetics to help you realize what is going to be the best
realize what is going to be the best
realize what is going to be the best diet for you so improving the
diet for you so improving the
diet for you so improving the performance we can give you the
performance we can give you the
performance we can give you the macronutrients that you need for your
macronutrients that you need for your
macronutrients that you need for your diet so okay and how are you going to
diet so okay and how are you going to
diet so okay and how are you going to feel better so when we start looking at
feel better so when we start looking at
feel better so when we start looking at the at the allergic responses that
the at the allergic responses that
the at the allergic responses that certain people have to foods you look at
certain people have to foods you look at
certain people have to foods you look at things like peanuts and that’s a that
things like peanuts and that’s a that
things like peanuts and that’s a that can be a pretty significant allergy so
can be a pretty significant allergy so
can be a pretty significant allergy so could be life-threatening but not
could be life-threatening but not
could be life-threatening but not everything that we eat gives us that
everything that we eat gives us that
everything that we eat gives us that kind of response so some people can be
kind of response so some people can be
kind of response so some people can be bloated after eating other foods like
bloated after eating other foods like
bloated after eating other foods like dairy or you hear about people who want
dairy or you hear about people who want
dairy or you hear about people who want to eat gluten-free so this is because
to eat gluten-free so this is because
to eat gluten-free so this is because you have a low-grade inflammatory
you have a low-grade inflammatory
you have a low-grade inflammatory response and just in the same way that
response and just in the same way that
response and just in the same way that having a hard day at work gives you
having a hard day at work gives you
having a hard day at work gives you certain stressors now when you have
certain stressors now when you have
certain stressors now when you have dietary inflammation triggers that same
dietary inflammation triggers that same
dietary inflammation triggers that same stress in your body so by removing some
stress in your body so by removing some
stress in your body so by removing some of these stressors in your
of these stressors in your
of these stressors in your diet you’re gonna be able to take an
diet you’re gonna be able to take an
diet you’re gonna be able to take an actionable item our actual actionable
actionable item our actual actionable
actionable item our actual actionable response to moving forward with these
response to moving forward with these
response to moving forward with these foods so whereas we used to think that
foods so whereas we used to think that
foods so whereas we used to think that the future of food and nutrition was
the future of food and nutrition was
the future of food and nutrition was finding this best diet for everybody now
finding this best diet for everybody now
finding this best diet for everybody now we know that if we want to prevent
we know that if we want to prevent
we know that if we want to prevent disease improve performance and just
disease improve performance and just
disease improve performance and just feel better in general we need to stop
feel better in general we need to stop
feel better in general we need to stop thinking about the best diet for
thinking about the best diet for
thinking about the best diet for everybody and start finding the best
everybody and start finding the best
everybody and start finding the best diet for you thank you
