Latt Mansor, PhD: How Precision Medicine Transformed My Health

As research lead for the nutrition and metabolic health company Health Via Modern Nutrition (HVMA), Latt Mansor knows more than most people about what it takes to stay fit and healthy. Still, he struggled to lose fat pounds and worried about his heart health. So, Dr. Comite invited him to come to Comite Center for a blood draw, evaluation, and recommendations for interventions based on her analysis. In this episode, Dr. Mansor returns to the center to review the results of his year-long experience as a precision medicine patient and learn how he reversed the risks that were leading him toward the cardiovascular trouble that killed his father.   You'll learn…  What is "reactive hypoglycemia" and why having high insulin is dangerous even if your HbA1C number is low.   Why insulin, the fat-storage hormone, makes it so difficult to shed fat mass.   The dietary supplements that helped Mansor lower his cholesterol risk ratio number, improve his HDL "good" cholesterol, and drop his high 200 LDL "bad" cholesterol to 110.   The reason Dr. Comite advises patients like Mansor to take vitamin K2 along with vitamin D for bone and heart health.   Why consistency in using testosterone or human chorionic gonadotropin is critical for maintaining muscle mass and losing weight.   The change in Mansor's exercise routine that led to a dramatic improvement in his VO 2"> 22 max and potential for longevity, reducing his risk of cardiovascular death by nearly 25 percent over the next decade.      How Mansor lost 22 pounds and dropped his body fat percentage from nearly 27 percent to 16.3 percent while maintaining muscle mass.
