A few years ago Dr. Marv was overweight, feeling tired, low on energy, and had metabolic syndrome. He was a caring doctor who did the best he could for his patients but knew that something was missing. He knew that there had to be something else to health, since he himself seemed to be missing that key ingredient.   After a lot of thought, he decided to enrol in the premier Integrative Medicine Fellowship through the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, founded by pioneer Dr. Andrew Weil. This was a life changing event. Dr. Marv became very passionate about wellness, health, longevity, and optimisation of health. He begun following an anti-inflammatory diet and begun implementing lifestyle changes into his own regular routine.   In just three months, he lost 45 pounds! That was over three years ago and Dr. Marv is now a totally different person than he was before. He is ever more passionate about wellness and helping people lose weight, feel well, feel energetic again, and gain control over their lives!   Topics discussed:   Chronic Disease Paradigm Andrew Weil- Integrative Medicine Precision Medicine Marvin’s Weight Struggles Changing Diet and Lifestyle - “Snow Ball Effect" Tracking Biomarkers Microbiome Testing Nutritional Genetics Toxins Whole Genome Sequencing Personalised Medicine Being Proactive Human Longevity Inc, Chronomics, New Amsterdam Genomics Whole Genome Sequencing vs SNPs The Evolution of Microbiome Testing Factors that drive gut microbiome composition Quorum Sensing The impact of stress Mitochondria Dr Dan Siegel Kindness and Compassion The Present Don’t react - Respond Gut Brain Connection Vagus Nerve- Information Super Highway The Brain's Influence on the Gut Microbiome Adaptability The effect of Chronic Stress The Global Mental Health Crisis How to Feel your best?
