Our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Dan Gubler, Ph.D., was recently featured on the popular podcast Optimal Protein Podcast (Fast Keto) hosted by Vanessa Spina. In the episode titled "Epigenetics: How To Optimize Your Genes with Ketosis, Intermittent Fasting, Phytonutrients and More!" Dr. Gubler shared his extensive knowledge on biochemical processes, organic chemistry, and phytonutrients. Here, we’ll highlight the key points discussed in the podcast and dive into how Dr. Gubler's work at THREE International is redefining the standards of nutritional health.
Dr. Gubler began by explaining the concept of epigenetics, which involves the study of how genes are turned on or off and how this regulation affects our health. Unlike genetic testing, which only tells us the propensity for an issue to occur, epigenetics provides real-time insights into whether a gene is expressed or not. Essentially, it's about ensuring that the genes we want activated are indeed turned on by the foods we eat, ketones, and various practices such as grounding and deep breathing.
One of the fascinating aspects of the discussion was the role of ketones in epigenetics. Ketones are not just fuel for the body; they also play a significant role in gene regulation. Dr. Gubler highlighted that ketones are crucial in support of genes related to insulin, as well as cognitive health. He emphasized that ketones help support the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein vital for brain health.
Intermittent fasting and resistance training were also discussed as powerful tools for optimizing epigenetics. Dr. Gubler explained that intermittent fasting allows the body to focus on homeostasis and proper gene regulation by reducing the number of biochemical reactions occurring at any given time. This period of rest enables the body to maintain its internal balance and improve overall function.
Dr. Gubler provided insights into signal transduction cascades, which are biochemical pathways that lead to the activation of genes. He likened these cascades to a domino effect, where each domino represents a step in the process. Ketones are one of the key molecules involved in these cascades, highlighting their importance in gene support and overall health.
Dr. Gubler emphasized that lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, exercise, stress management, and environmental factors play a crucial role in epigenetics. Poor lifestyle choices can hinder the body's ability to produce ketones and maintain proper gene support. He recommended practices like intermittent fasting and a balanced diet rich in phytonutrients to support optimal epigenetic function.
Vanessa Spina and Dr. Gubler discussed the importance of choosing high-quality supplements that contain essential vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients. Dr. Gubler stressed the significance of absorption, explaining that even the most powerful molecules are ineffective if they are not absorbed into the cells. He advised selecting supplements with advanced technologies that enhance bioavailability. Learn more about Vitalité by THREE, a highly bioavailable Superfood Blend + Daily Multivitamin Complex.
The podcast also touched on caffeine, a widely studied molecule that often receives mixed reviews. Dr. Gubler pointed out that caffeine has several proven benefits, including healthy support of microbiome health. He highlighted that the key to reaping the benefits of caffeine lies in moderation and understanding its effects on the body.
