   Mastering Your Genetics Using Food, with Dr Denise Furness

   URGENT MESSAGE: Denise has generously organised a 20% discount for the first 60 people to purchase her upcoming 28 Day WholeFood Challenge (https://drdenisefurness.com.au/4-week-wholefood-challenge/) course beginning in January 2024: Use the code: NatMedPodcast20 We're born with a genetic blueprint, including some variations we may have acquired along the way. These variations, called SNPs (short for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), influence certain characteristics of our DNA blueprint to change gene expression. What we now know is that diet can have effects on gene expression  leading to powerful effects on our health. And what better clinician to lead us through how to master your genes using food, than Dr Denise Furness (https://drdenisefurness.com.au/). Strap in and have the rewind button handy. This is an information-packed podcast! References MCM6 - lactose MCM6 is located upstream from the LCT gene, which produces the enzyme lactase required to digest lactose. MCM6 influences LCT and lactase expression.

These genes code for antigens (proteins) that help cells recognise self versus non-self. Genetic variations within HLA-DQA1 & HLA-DQB1 are linked to coeliac disease and other autoimmune conditions.
