    Should Genetics Be a Routine Part of Primary Care?

    Primary Care and Genetics: Bringing DNA Into Everyday Healthcare. Primary care is often the first stop in healthcare—but where does genetics fit in? We unpack what’s realistic, what’s hype, and what patients and clinicians should actually expect. This conversation explores the integration of genetics into primary care, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and counseling in improving patient outcomes. The speakers discuss the evolving role of primary care physicians in addressing genetic health, the need for collaboration with genetic counselors, and the growing awareness among patients regarding genetic testing. They emphasize the necessity of ongoing education and advocacy for genetic professionals within the healthcare system.   Key Takeaways: Genetic testing can aid in preventative care and early diagnosis. Patients often bring their own genetic testing results to primary care. Genetic counseling can support primary care physicians in managing genetic concerns. Integration of genetics into primary care can improve patient outcomes. Genetic testing is not a one-time event; it may require re-evaluation. Patients are becoming more informed and proactive about genetic health. Collaboration between genetic counselors and primary care is essential.   Mylynda B.

    What's my biological age again? Latest on longevity

    Aging, genetics, and lifestyle. In this conversation, Daniel Tausan discusses the concept of longevity, focusing on biological age, biomarkers, and the interplay between genetics and lifestyle. He emphasizes the importance of understanding biological age as a measure of health rather than just chronological age. The discussion covers various biomarkers, the significance of blood tests, and how lifestyle choices impact aging. Daniel also touches on the role of telomeres, lifestyle habits for longevity, and the latest breakthroughs in longevity science. Philosophical perspectives on aging and the future of longevity research are explored, highlighting the importance of quality of life and the need for a cultural shift in how we view aging and death.   Key Takeaways: Biological age is a measure of health, not just chronological age. Understanding biomarkers can help assess health and aging. Genetics and lifestyle both play crucial roles in aging. Telomeres are important but not the sole factor in aging. Quality of life is essential in discussions about aging.   Daniel Tausan holds a graduate degree from the University of British Columbia in Stem Cell Biology with a Bachelor of Science in General Biology. He worked in research in the molecular profiling of exercise, looking into comprehensive blood panels in search of biomarkers for predictive health analytics with Molecular You and UBC’s School of Kinesiology to develop methods for biological age calculation.   He spent his early 20s with the Canadian National Waterpolo Team and coached the next generations of athletes to participate in the youth Pan-American games and World Championships. He personally trained clients for general fitness goals and athletic performance and continued to share the biological knowledge of the molecular world from his scientific pursuits.   Asthma, allergies and gastrointestinal challenges throughout his early years kept him eager to explore regenerative principles and the healthcare systems. Although the academic and industry surrounding the molecular biological revolution were exploding few professionals were present to help the public interact and integrate with the newfound biological knowledge. With a love for education and working directly with people he stepped away from academics. He launched Timeline Sciences to put “you” on the timeline aligned with your unique genome and goals.   Please subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts to stay updated on new episodes of All Access DNA.

    How do I know if something is safe during pregnancy?

    Teratogens. Medications. Infections. Safe in Pregnancy. In this conversation, we explore the safety of exposure to certain things during pregnancy such as alcohol, beauty products, and yes even Tylenol. We learn more about how an agent or exposure is evaluated as being teratogenic as well as resources for pregnant individuals with questions.   Key Takeaways: Teratogens refers to an exposure (drug, chemical, infection, radiation, or substance) that can interfere with growth or development of an embryo or fetus.  Every pregnancy has a background risk of 3% for birth defects, unrelated to exposures or family history. The timing, dosage, and other risk factors play a role in the impact of a potential teratogen. It’s crucial to differentiate between correlation and causation in studies. Pregnant individuals should consult healthcare providers about medication use.   Nevena is a board certified genetic counselor and an assistant professor at the University of South Florida (USF), division of Maternal Fetal Medicine and serves as the Program Coordinator and Teratogen Information Specialist at MotherToBaby Florida.
