Health Discourse with Sushant & Sakshi- Episode 1

Genefitletics

When it comes to chronic diseases, we are living in the dark. We do not know how it developed, why it developed & if someone develops a chronic disease say diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression or more, he/she blames it on bad genes or bad luck.
Well it's not bad genes or bad luck, it's some change in biology + chemistry going on before & during the onset & progression of chronic diseases which our modern healthcare system has still not understood.
Trillions of $ have been spent on making pharmaceuticals that can manage the disease we already have, rather than investing in application of science & technology to understand the pathogenic process involved in a range of chronic diseases.
While, it is no brainer that nutrition by far is the most important determinant of health & disease, science behind nutrition has still not been understood. The fallacy in adopting nutrition choices is driven by three major factors
-Nutrition choices are driven by population studies that assume that every individual is average, which is not the case. Everyone has 95% unique biochemical individuality which is driven by functions of the microbiome. Unfortunately, these population studies does not take into account uniqueness of our biology
-Nutrition choices/plan carved out by nutritionists & coaches is driven by anecdotal evidence, guess work & belief systems which misses out evaluating biochemical functions of each individual.
-Health influencers, VC funded disease management & fitness companies that promote fad diets such as high protein, low carb, atkins, ketosis etc without any scientific evidence & assuming it is beneficial for everyone. If these diets would have worked, we would as a society have overcome diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
-. When it comes to scientific data, the vast majority of food and supplement research does not account for the specific and unique contributions of an individual’s microbiome.
This is where Genefitletics comes in- we have adopted a data driven approach towards precision nutrition driven by tech + computational biology which measures molecular data aka chemistry from human microbiome-oral, gut & vaginal & analyse it using mathematics. Our system biology + maths platform convert molecular data & features into biology pathways that determines which food substrates we should feed
We open our platform as our founder Sushant Kumar & co-founder Sakshi Balideep dive into science behind precision nutrition. Worth spending 30 minutes on this exciting talk.
