This is your presentation to the interview:
In this fascinating interview, we get into the world of epigenetics, nutrition, a field that is revolutionizing our understanding of how food and lifestyle can have a direct effect on our health, aging, and disease prevention.
Curro Clavero, an expert in the area, guiding us through the complex processes that regulate gene expression, highlighting the importance of molecules such as S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and homocysteine.
Since the methylation of the DNA to its impact on diseases such as cancer, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases, we discover how we can optimize our health at the cellular level.
In addition, it offers us practical strategies and nutritional recommendations that, far from being a simple theory, we provide specific tools to improve our quality of life.
Genetics vs. Epigenetics
• What is the fundamental difference between genetics and epigenetics in terms of the expression of genes?
• How epigenetics can alter gene expression without altering the DNA?
Fundamental processes of Epigenetics
• What are the key processes of epigenetics that regulate the expression of genes?
• How is DNA methylation, and what is its impact on health?
Modification and Histone Acetylation
• How histone acetylation influences the activation or repression of genes?
• What role do you play in the modification of histones in the process of epigenetics?
The Role of SAMe in the Epigenetics
• why is the SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) is considered to be a donor of methyl groups and how it affects the methylation genetics?
• What other important roles meets the SAMe in the body in addition to the methylation?
SAMe and your Relationship with Catecholamines, Estrogens and Antioxidants
• How Does the SAMe help in the degradation of excess catecholamines and estrogen in the body?
• In what way did the SAMe contributes to the synthesis of antioxidants and the prevention of cellular aging?
Cycle Methionine-Homocysteine
• How Does the cycle methionine-homocysteine, and what importance it has in the methylation and cardiovascular health?
• What are the consequences of an imbalance in this cycle on the health?
Diseases Associated with Hypomethylation
• What are the main diseases associated with hypomethylation (lack of methylation) and how it can help prevent or treat?
Diseases Associated with Hypermethylation
• What diseases are associated with hypermethylation and what are its health effects?
Evaluation of the Methylation Status
• How can you determine if a person is in a state of hypomethylation or hypermethylation? Are there any ratios or specific test to measure it?
Increase and Reduction of the Methylation
• What strategies exist to increase methylation in the body in a healthy manner?
• How can you reduce the methylation if necessary, and under what circumstances?
Reduction of Homocysteine
• What nutritional strategies or life style can help to reduce levels of homocysteine in the body?
SAMe, Methylation and Physical Performance
• How methylation affects the physical performance and recovery?
• Is it recommended to use more SAMe to improve physical performance? Why is the body prioritizes the production of antioxidants on the generation of s-adenosylmethionine?
Supplements Related to the Methylation and Performance
• What role Do you play the creatine in the methylation and physical performance?
• How phosphatidylcholine contributes to brain health and performance?
• What is the impact of the vitamin B6 in the processes of methylation?
• How the NAC and glutathione may help reduce oxidative stress and promote athletic performance?
• What is the role played by taurine on cellular health and in the optimization of the methylation?
