P23 Knowledge, access, power.
P23, wellness and Understandingat your Fingertips P23.
And that's no Cap.
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (00:20):
Hello and welcome to another exciting
episode of P23 Tell a Lab Talks.
I'm your host, Dr TiffanyMontgomery, and today we have a
fascinating topic to exploreyour DNA Diet.
(00:41):
This episode of P23 Tell a LabTalks your DNA, your diet
uncovering the role of geneticfactors in nutritional health.
I am going to be joined by myesteemed co-host, a true
(01:06):
industry pioneer, organizer andinnovator, the Director of
Revenue, Marketing, Sales andServices at P23, Angie Crouch.
With a wide range of expertisein the field of molecular
(01:30):
testing, customer service andoperations, she brings a strong
knowledge base to ourdiscussions.
Not only is she an executive,she is a wife, a mother, a
sister, a friend, a daughter, acousin, a niece, and she is a
(01:57):
volunteer and football mom tocountless youth in her area.
She spends her weekends withher house full of children that
do not even belong to her, eventhough she has a village of her
very own, constantly giving backto the young men and women of
(02:18):
tomorrow in her city.
So with all of that experience,not only being an expert in the
industry, but just being adown-to-earth person who takes
this life one day at a time weare thrilled to have Angie join
us today.
And, Angie, I'd like you togreet the people and welcome to
(02:39):
P23.
Tell a Lab Talks.
Angie Crouch (02:42):
Thank you so much for your amazing introduction.
If I did not hear my namecountless times throughout that
introduction, I would havewondered who is this phenomenal
person she is speaking of.
So I am not even going to tryto introduce myself or give any
more information on who I am, sothank you for that.
I am very excited to be hereand happy to share my time, my
(03:06):
thoughts and my talents with youand your listeners today.
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (03:10):
Thank you so much and, like I said,
we're honored to have you, sothis is going to be great.
Have you ever wondered why somepeople thrive on certain diets
while others struggle to seeresults?
Well, the answer might liewithin our genetic makeup.
In this episode, we'll divedeep into the world of
(03:31):
nutrigenomics and discover howour genes affect what we eat.
Today, as we're thinking abouta DNA diet, angie, what's the
first thing that comes to yourmind?
Angie Crouch (03:43):
I am really intrigued about learning more
about a DNA diet.
Growing up being an athlete, itwas always you know, athletes
need to eat carbs before gamesand load up on protein, and it
was based on lifestyle what weput into our bodies and not
(04:04):
necessarily our DNA, and whatour body is telling us that we
need.
So I'm very excited to learnmore about this.
I'm still working with athletestoday my children and, as you
mentioned, countless otherathletes and being able to learn
more about this and educateothers on this very topic is
(04:26):
very intriguing for me andexciting.
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (04:29):
Well, you bring up some key points and
I want to stop you and justre-enterate.
A DNA diet can work for anathlete as well as a non-athlete
.
While I greatly admire athletesyou, your team, your squad, all
that you do I want to remindeverybody that, no matter where
(04:52):
you are in life, a DNA dietcould be right for you.
Don't run because Angiementioned athleticism, because
you know, if you don't knowanything about Dr Montgomery,
she is not athletic at all.
My favorite sport was how manybooks can you read in one night?
And nobody can beat me.
(05:13):
So with that, we all have ourown version of what we define as
athletic, but we all benefit somuch while, because we all have
DNA, everybody's DNA is uniqueto them, unless you're identical
twin and that's a whole anotherpodcast for another day but for
(05:33):
the most part, all of us whoare not identical twins, a DNA
diet is also known as apersonalized or genetic-based
diet, and it is an approach thattakes into account an
individual's genetic informationto determine the most suitable
diet for them.
(05:54):
Our genes influence variousaspects of our metabolism,
including how we processnutrients, our sensitivity to
certain foods and even ourpreferences for specific flavors
.
You ever notice how sometimesin your family everybody likes
(06:17):
this or everybody hates that.
Or when you gather for aThanksgiving, everybody has to
have grandma's dressing or auntBessie's eggs or whatever that
thing is.
And we probably never stop tothink about how even specific
flavors are embedded in our DNA.
(06:39):
Or even sometimes you'll seecertain cultures will eat
certain types of food or alwayscook with certain spices, and we
identify those spices with thatculture.
Now, when you think about itfrom a non-scientific way, it
all begins to click and kind ofmakes sense.
But what you never think aboutis that those flavors could be
(07:00):
in your DNA.
By analyzing a person's geneticmakeup, we can gain insights
into their unique nutritionalneeds and design a diet plan
that optimizes their health andwell-being.
Obtaining genetic informationfor a DNA diet typically
(07:24):
involves a simple saliva orblood test.
The sample is then analyzed toidentify specific genetic
variations, known as singlenucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs
, that are associated withvarious aspects of nutrition and
(07:47):
metabolism.
These SNPs can provide insightsinto a person's ability to
digest certain nutrients, theirresponse to different dietary
components like fats,carbohydrates and proteins, as
well as their risk for certainconditions such as obesity or
(08:12):
diabetes Angie.
Have you ever noticed any ofthese patterns within families
and just kind of thought theywere patterns, or do you think
most people are recognizing nowthat that's DNA related?
Angie Crouch (08:30):
I'll be honest here.
I do know.
You know, when you go to thedoctor's office and they are
having you check that healthquestionnaire, I've always
thought that that was related toDNA, because they want to know
which side of the family it is.
The pattern is on, so that I dofeel like I had some background
(08:56):
knowledge on, but exactly whatthose factors are, I have not
noticed the patterns.
I'm not a huge math person andpatterns are in math and me and
math we don't quite get along.
But that is very interestingfact, and I think that a lot of
people are wondering the samething when it comes to their
(09:18):
health.
Why do these things happen tome and my family?
Or why doesn't this happen tomy friend, who lives a certain
lifestyle?
And I'm stuck with all of thesehealth issues, and so I think
it is important for us to divein and learn more about this.
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (09:38):
And, I think, understanding genetic
analysis and what's out therenow in terms of where we are and
the advancements that we'vemade, not even thinking about
the future and what's to come,but just in looking at where we
are and knowing that geneticanalysis can help us and guide
us in so many ways.
(09:58):
Having the testing done, such ashe's 23 optimum testing, gives
you a genetic analysis that'scomplete and with that, a
personalized diet plan can becreated based on an individual,
specific genetic variations, forexample.
For example, someone with agenetic predisposition to
(10:24):
obesity might be advised tofollow a low carbohydrate diet,
as they may have a reducedability to process carbohydrates
efficiently.
On the other hand, individualswith certain genetic variants
(10:44):
may benefit from a higher intakeof monosaturated fats, such as
those found in olive oil oravocados.
I have a sister that just lovesavocados.
She could eat them fried,boiled, raw front, I mean, you
name it and it's really good forher DNA based diet.
(11:10):
By aligning the diet with theperson's genetic profile, we can
optimize their nutrient intakeand improve their overall health
outcomes.
With that, angie, I'm going toopen up the floor to you for a
(11:30):
couple of questions from ourlisteners, viewers and followers
on social media.
Angie Crouch (11:40):
Okay, yes, there have been some questions coming
in, and I do want to bring upthe topic of food intolerance.
I've seen quite a few questionson that, so the question I want
to ask is can genetic testinghelp individuals identify foods
(12:00):
that they may be intolerant toor have difficulty digesting?
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (12:05):
Thank you for that question, angie,
and I think it is important tounderstand that genetic testing
can provide some informationabout a person's susceptibility
to certain types of foodintolerance, but it is not a
definitive diagnostic tool foridentifying specific Food
(12:26):
allergies.
It's important to understandthe difference between
intolerances and allergies, andfood intolerances are typically
caused by the body's inabilityto properly digest or metabolize
certain components of food,such as lactose or gluten.
These intolerances are oftendue to deficiencies in specific
(12:51):
enzymes.
Genetic testing can helpidentify certain genetic
variants that may be associatedwith an increased risk of
developing certain types of foodintolerances.
For example, genetic variationsin lactose or the lactase gene
(13:11):
can be associated with lactoseintolerance.
However, it's important to notethat having these genetic
variants does not necessarilymean that a person will
definitely have an a foodintolerance.
The most accurate way toidentify food intolerance is
through a combination of medicalhistory, symptoms and specific
(13:36):
diagnostic tests, such as the P23.
Optimum Elimination.
Diets were suspected foods areremoved from the diet, then
gradually reintroduced can alsohelp identify specific food
triggers.
In some cases, medicalprofessionals may recommend
tests such as lactoseintolerance, birth test or
(13:57):
gluten sensitivity test toconfirm the diagnosis.
If you suspect you have foodintolerances is best to consult
with a healthcare professional,such as a doctor or registered
dietitian within the P 23 healthmembership program, who can
guide you through an appropriatediagnostic process and help
(14:19):
develop a suitable managementplan.
That's a great question.
Do you have one more?
Angie Crouch (14:26):
I do.
Speaking of diets andeverything, I do see a few more
questions coming in.
We relate it to weight gain,weight loss and obesity.
So I think the best question tosum up all of these questions
that your listeners are havingis how can we use genetic data
(14:47):
to identify individuals who maybe at a higher risk for obesity
or other weight relatedconditions, and what
interventions can we use tomitigate these risks?
And yeah, I think that's agreat question.
Dr. Tiffany Montgomery (15:00):
I think a lot of people do have their
questions, so I appreciate youBringing that to the table just
so we can talk about a littlebit.
And I think genetics can play arole in weight loss and obesity
, but it is just one piece ofthe puzzle.
While certain geneticvariations can influence a
person's predisposition to gainweight or affect their
(15:22):
metabolism, they do not solelydetermine whether someone will
be obese or how successful theirweight loss efforts will be.
The interplay between geneticsand weight regulation is complex
.
Some genetic factors can affectappetite control, metabolism,
fat storage and the body'sresponse to exercise.
(15:45):
That is what we focus on withour P23 Act 1.
For instance, variations in theFTO gene have been associated
with an increased risk ofobesity.
However, it's important to notethat having these genetic
variations does not mean youhave to be overweight or obese.
(16:07):
Environmental factors certainlyplay a part, such as diet,
physical activity levels,lifestyle choices.
These are all things that wehave to consider and find
balance with.
Weight loss and managementprimarily rely on a combination
of healthy, balanced diet,regular physical activities,
(16:31):
genetic redisposition, behaviormodification and lifestyle
changes.
While genetic testing canprovide some insights into
individual characteristics andmetabolic traits, it is not a
determining factor in weightloss success.
Personalized approaches toweight management which take
(16:52):
into an account an individual'sgenetic, lifestyle and medical
factors may become moreprevalent in the future.
They may become more popular,they may become better
understood, but they'recertainly available now.
However, at the present time,genetic testing is not widely
(17:14):
used as a standalone tool forweight loss guidance.
However, at P23, we have tounderstand its importance and
the significant contributionthat it makes to understanding
the topic.
If you are concerned about yourweight or are seeking
(17:34):
assistance with weight loss, itis advisable to consult with a
healthcare professional, such asa doctor, registered dietitian
or weight loss specialist, suchas those available to you as a
member of P23 Health, who canprovide you with personalized
recommendations based on yourunique circumstances.
(17:56):
I want to thank you for thosequestions, angie, and thank you
for joining us.
It's important that we havethese types of discussion so we
can understand where we are andwhat needs to happen next.
I think from the questions youasked and from the conversation
(18:18):
that we had tonight, we leaveasking ourselves how do we
strike a balance between geneticinfluences and lifestyle
choices?
Thank you for your time.
It's all about personalized andholistic approaches.
Understanding our geneticpredispositions can help us make
(18:38):
more informed choices about ourdiet, but it also is important
to consider other factors, suchas activity levels, stress
levels, sleep patterns andoverall lifestyle habits.
It's about finding the rightbalance between genetics and the
(19:00):
environment to optimize ourhealth.
In this episode of P23 Tell aLab Talks, we were joined by our
phenomenal co-host, angieCrouch, director of Revenue at
P23.
In this episode your DNA, yourDiet we uncovered the role of
(19:20):
genetic factors in nutritionalhealth and talked about some of
the factors that go into makingthat decision, such as the FTO
gene and many others, as well asthe solution One of the
solutions available to us, whichwould include P23 Health, the
(19:42):
membership, intake and care teamthat is composed of registered
dietitians, nurses, doctors andweight loss specialists, as well
as the use of P23 Optimum sothat we can understand our
genetics, our susceptibility andhow we can control our
environment and diet based onwho we are.
(20:03):
It's about understanding thetotal you right At P23, we call
that the 720 degrees of analysisthat you won't get anywhere
else.
Some people say, Dr.
Montgomery, why 720?
Well, we all know a circle is360 and at P23, we like to cover
(20:24):
it twice.
We want to make sure we take athorough and comprehensive
position in helping youunderstand who you are, and that

physical activity levels,lifestyle choices.

of healthy, balanced diet,regular physical activities,
(16:31):
genetic redisposition, behaviormodification and lifestyle
changes.

individual characteristics andmetabolic traits, it is not a
determining factor in weightloss success.

into an account an individual'sgenetic, lifestyle and medical
factors may become moreprevalent in the future.
