Overview

Rhonda Patrick gives an IHMC talk on how genetic variation affects micronutrient absorption and metabolism, and how diet changes gene expression. It also covers epigenetics, including heritable changes, and stress tolerance.

On Hacker News

Cited as a reference in threads on telomeres, lifespan extension and longevity research funding, mainly for the nutrigenomics and epigenetics material.

Revenue is something we'll need to focus on and that may come in the form of consumer applications that algorithmically engineer their epigenome with data from companies like 23andMe, Navigenics, Ubiome etc. connected to Nutrigenomics including plant compounds, phytochemicals mapped all the way to the consumer through foods connected to apps connected shopping and recipe experiences.

It's also interesting to note how we can affect the length of our Telomeres via Telomerase and FOXO3 genes using micronutrients such as Vitamin D, magnesium as described here [VIDEO] This is being worked on by companies in the epigenetics and human life extension areas: [LINK] (Google and Genentech) [LINK] (Berkeley Lab) [LINK] (Aubrey De Grey & Peter Theil)
