FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Having spent a good amount of time over the last six months wrapping my head around the Food as Medicine (FAM) and Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) trend, here’s what I learned: * Based on a 2022 study, 68.8% of participants had Diabetes, mostly Type 2. * 70.6% had been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, a close correlation, well known as the number one chronic disease killer in the U.S. After almost 4 years in the cancer metabolism space, formulating high quality meals to boost the effectiveness of conventional therapy, it’s time for a change.  Clearly there is a need for chef driven, high quality, nutrient dense, disease reversing, clean label food related to the “biggies”, diabetes and cardiovascular. AS A RESEARCH CHEF AND PRECISION NUTRITION MEAL DEVELOPER FOCUSED ON LOW GLYCEMIC, THIS IS WHERE I PLAN TO HANG MY HAT FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. 👨🍳 Stay tuned for more.

Integrating Nutrigenomics into Clinical Practice: A Step Toward Personalized Medicine 🧬🍏 As we advance in the field of genomics, the integration of nutrigenomics into clinical practice is becoming increasingly feasible and beneficial. Nutrigenomics—the study of how genes and nutrition interact—holds the potential to revolutionize personalized healthcare by tailoring dietary recommendations based on individual genetic profiles. 🌟 Recent studies highlight that understanding a patient’s genetic makeup can lead to more precise and effective dietary interventions. For example, genetic testing can reveal variations in genes related to nutrient metabolism, allowing clinicians to provide personalized advice that optimizes health outcomes and minimizes risks associated with conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes (Kapsokefalou et al., 2023). 🧬📊 Incorporating nutrigenomics into clinical practice involves several key steps: Genetic Testing: Utilizing genetic tests to assess variations that affect nutrient metabolism and dietary needs. 🧪 Personalized Nutrition Plans: Developing tailored dietary recommendations based on genetic insights. 🍽️ Continuous Monitoring: Regularly reviewing and adjusting nutritional plans based on patient progress and emerging research. 🔍 The benefits of this personalized approach are becoming evident, with improved patient adherence and more effective management of chronic conditions. As we move forward, it's crucial for healthcare providers to stay informed about the latest advancements and consider integrating these insights into their practice. 🚀 Let's embrace the future of personalized medicine and make strides toward a more precise approach to nutrition and health! 💡 #Nutrigenomics #PersonalizedMedicine #ClinicalPractice #Genomics #Healthcare

New study by Professor Jochen Raimann examines impact of sodium intake for kidney disease patients. Managing an intricate balance between sodium intake, blood pressure and the volume of bodily fluid is key to minimizing the risk of adverse outcomes in individuals with end-stage kidney disease, according to a new paper co-authored by Jochen Raimann, an industry professor in the #KatzSchool’s M.S. in Biotechnology Management and Entrepreneurship and a physician-scientist and senior director of data analytics at the Renal Research Institute (RRI) in New York City. Published in the journal Frontiers, the paper evaluates the impact of diet, medication and methods of dialysis treatment on patient outcomes, with a specific emphasis on blood pressure control, weight gain between dialysis sessions and symptoms during dialysis. Dr. Raimann collaborated with researchers from The George Washington University , Loyola University Chicago, The University of New Mexico, the University of California, San Francisco and academic institutions in the Netherlands and Turkey. The researchers argue that restricting dietary sodium is challenging, especially in Western societies, where a significant portion of sodium comes from processed foods. They further point out the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities in diet quality, emphasizing that education and household income levels significantly affect salt intake and hypertension risk. “Collaboration with the food industry is crucial for successful salt-reduction programs,” said Dr. Raimann. “Few countries have implemented effective strategies, and salt restriction has shown positive effects on survival and reduced health care costs.” Read the full story: https://bit.ly/4bOrgKW #KatzSchool #WeAreKatz #STEM #STEMResearch #HealthResearch #Biotech #Dialysis #KidneyDisease #YeshivaUniversity Yeshiva University

I am thrilled to announce that our recent study investigating “the additive value of nutritional deficiency to frailty index in assessing the risk of heart failure adverse events” has been published to “The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging.” In this study we evaluated the differences in predictive value of frailty index along with nutritional status compared to frailty index alone, for different adverse outcomes of veterans admitted with Heart Failure. By incorporating a large cohort of Veterans admitted due to heart failure, we found that adding prognostic nutritional index (PNI) to frailty index (FI) provides a more accurate and comprehensive assessment among this group of participants. Adding malnutrition to frailty screening can help to determine which patients hospitalized for HF exacerbations are at higher risk for adverse outcomes. Utilizing this screening tool early on during hospital admissions may help identify patients who need either earlier interventions or changes in medical management to prevent worse outcomes and prolonged hospitalizations. Thanks to the great team for this hard work. Javad Razjouyan, PhD, M Eng. Ariela Orkaby Erica Kim Molly Horstman Orna Intrator Aanand D. Naik, M.D. Catherine Park

What always intrigues me is the perpetuation of the myth that food and concentrated nutrients from food (i.e. supplements) can't ever be useful for combating the unpleasantness of certain conditions - whether disease or part of the so-called "healthy" aging process. For some very vocal key opinion leaders (KOLs), it seems that no matter how many large randomized control trials (RCTs) are done and the accumulating supporting science there, no amount of evidence will appease them. When it comes to supplements, for them, "the science is still out" or "the trials are not of sufficient quality", "the funding source is questionable" or even "the RCT should be multicenter".  These are valid points, and yet... I know for some of those KOLS, they sometimes grudgingly admit that their stance is largely because their fear is that if they publicly admit there could be any benefit to a particular food/nutrition approach, people may seek salvation in a supplements-only regimen and miss out on life-saving conventional therapy (drugs, surgery, and/or medical device intervention). I think we need to tackle these nuanced discussions now more than ever.

Very excited about our two most recent publications, out now in eBioMedicine & PLOS Digital Health! Lots of data is collected as part of routine clinical care that may be a treasure trove for addressing chronobiological questions, but how do we tap into these given the biases & confounding that are present in these data? In the first publication, led by Floor Hiemstra, we show that glucose levels display marked 24-hour variation in patient in the Intensive Care Unit, even during the provision of continuous enteral nutrition. This daily variation persists after controlling for sources of potential bias that may be introduced by sample timing bias or administration of glucose-modulating therapies. Thanks to co-authors Dirk Jan Stenvers, Dries Kalsbeek, Evert De Jonge and David van westerloo for their support & input along the way! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gsvKFxNj In the second publication, together with Marc Ruben, Hassan S Dashti, Carsten Skarke, and Luísa Klaus Pilz, we discuss the opportunities and challenges around the use of routinely collected clinical data in circadian medicine. We also provide a list of recommendations for other researchers in this area. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gNXU-2pr    Leiden University Medical Center BioClock

🦠 Making progress in complex diseases such as Crohn's   🧪 This is what our participating company BiOkuris - also a sister company of KiOmed Pharma and KitoZyme - is successfully doing.   ✅  The drug BK003 is entering a clinical trial phase, the results of which are expected to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-type symptoms. The innovative product developed is a nutritional formulation comprising chitin glucan and an amalgam of essential vitamins and minerals. It seems clear that factors such as genetics, environment and immune system dysfunction play an important role.   🚀  This is the second clinical study conducted by Biokuris. The first involved a similar product, but targeted irritable bowel syndrome more strictly.   🔬 It's interesting to be working with Life Sciences companies like Biokuris, which are exploring other treatment, including medical nutrition.   Well done to the teams for their determination in tackling complex health problems that remain unexplained to this day!
