Dr. Stuart Grice: "This Predicts Dementia & Disease!" - How To Stop Brain Decline & Live Longer

Check out my FREE 7 day meal plan here: thedoctorskitc...
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.
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.
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.
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.

My husband had hystiocytosis aged 7 and survived by having chemotherapy back in 1973 but it’s left him with very complex medical issues. I would love to know more about what this disease is, how it’s treated today and what causes it. Also, any new knowledge that could help my husband have a better life and potentially a longer life.

[@drolatzmompeo-masachs2713]

such an insightful conversation!

[@christineherrmann205]

My father had Alzheimer's and my mom has dementia, and I don't drink. They were both alcoholics and my mom stopped cold turkey ~30 years ago and her brain is much better. I'd never recommend anyone in my situation drink.

[@plants_and_wellness1574]

Both of my husbands grandpas and his dad were all alcoholics and had high cholesterol and both grandpas died from Alzheimer’s and his dad got dementia at 59 and is practically a vegetable in a nursing home at 67. Alcohol definitely has an effect. I also know two people who were health freaks but had a grass fed farm and ate a ton of red meat and both her and her husband have dementia, both before they were 70. They didn’t drink or consume sugar but had really high cholesterol.

Great information. Thank you.

Your grandma is probably ApoE 2/3. People with that ApoE status can drink and smoke and still live a long life. It would be so cool if you could get her tested ❤

[@williamhenry3337]

I am Apoe2/3. There are THOUSANDS of podcasts on Apoe4 but very little on Apoe2. Please do a podcast on Apoe2.

[@stuartgrice4617]

Hi - we will follow up through FitnessGenes on the questions from the video. I will add a section on APOE2, and discuss its protective properties. I will let you know when we post the video. Best, Stuart

I love the analogy that compares genetic risk to crossing a 5-lane motorway versus a 100-lane one. You might make it across safely in either case (or indeed get hit in either case), but the chances of getting hit are significantly higher with more lanes!

[@coachjpaulus]

go grandma!!

[@coachjpaulus]

Would love to know more about the association of BH4 recycling issues and MTHFR polymorphism are associated with dementia

a strong faith in God with regular religious practices extends life by up to 7-14 years according to blue zone data

"Religion" won't help .... but Jesus will. Knowing why you are here, what the purpose of your life is .... and where you are going when you die .... brings inner peace ... and that can lead to a long life.

[@christinakuczora4862]

Oh - so folks of other religions won’t benefit from their religious beliefs and practices - only the believers in Jesus will?!
