This week Dr. Porter has a conversation with Founder and CEO of the ExerScience Center, Dr. Laura Leiva. Dr. Leiva’s love of movement started as a young child and she credits her athleticism to her father who was an athlete in Romania. She began ice skating at the age of three and competed until she was 13. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis, she lost her ability to be competitive and became discouraged with the turn her life had taken. That’s when she gained her spiritual side. She enjoyed drumming circles, Reiki, singing bowls, meditation and more and found a balance between her physical side and her spiritual side. She graduated from NOVA Southeastern University with a double major in Biomedical Physical and Biomedical Sciences but her career was sidetracked due to medical conditions that put her on bed rest for four years. Her son also required physical therapy and she saw firsthand how helpful those therapies were for him. She wanted to impact people’s lives in a positive way and fell in love with physical therapy practices, eventually completing her PhD in Physical Therapy.

There’s a lot of talk about DNA testing, but how effective and accurate is it really in addressing health concerns like chronic poor sleep? This week Dr. Porter sits down with Harris Khan from The DNA Company to discuss how using intelligent DNA testing can help build a precision-based approach to addressing chronic conditions, including poor sleep, by focusing on outcomes rather than genes and building in behavioral change to initiate sustainable, long-term health and wellness optimization. Harris holds a Bachelor of Science in Honors Biomedical Sciences from the University of Waterloo. After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued post-graduate studies in Pharmaceutical Research and Development, before gaining employment at Apotex, Canada’s largest generic pharmaceutical company, in the Formulations Development department. Harris was a key member of the team that would test initial formulations for billion-dollar drugs in their infancy stages. He left Apotex to co-found Youtrients, now The DNA Company, where he established an ISO-7, GMP-compliant nutraceutical compounding facility. As The Director of Product Development for The DNA Company, Harris oversees the entire lifecycle of The DNA Company's suite of products and services. In collaboration with industry experts and clinicians, he spearheaded the development of The DNA Company’s proprietary genomic algorithms based on metanalyses of thousands of genomic data points. He is a co-author of patents in the field of functional genomics and speaks on behalf of The DNA Company at events and conferences worldwide. One of Harris’s favorite health hacks includes eating dates during periods of heavy mental or physical activity. Says Harris: “They’re an incredible source of nutrients and improve water retention. There’s a reason they grow in arid environments like desserts! Two to three dates in the morning can be nutritionally fulfilling and provide the necessary glucose your brain needs to function throughout the day.” What you’ll learn: • Why most DNA tests are confusing • How choosing the right DNA test provider can help you solve your health problems • How genetics contribute to, but do not define, a person’s potential • Strategies to optimize genetic variations • How behavioral changing solves the problem of what’s next after DNA testing Check out the DNA Company Here: Web: www.thednacompany.com Social: @thednaco Special Offer: Thednacompany.com/sleepwell
