Welcome to the Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for people who deserve to be healthy with honest, open, and enlightening conversations with doctors, thought leaders, creatives, and spiritual gurus.

You'll walk away with simple and tangible tips and tricks that allow you to live your healthiest life so you can pursue your dreams,

overcome obstacles, and leave your mark. This concept of personalized medicine, but I'd love to know

what do you see as like your major tenants? Like what all are you looking at when you say like

look it's not enough simply to look at this supplement is generically good in most

people but not in this person so I mean it sounds like you're looking at genes and

then what are your kind of

other ways that this comes to life and becomes this individualized, almost like a lifestyle

prescription for someone? Yeah. So people think of symptoms, ailments, diseases, and drugs, vitamins, supplements for that.

But I view it as self-signalling pathways.

So, good example would be, let's say, sleep.

There's not just a sleep pathway.

You have circadian rhythm melatonin signaling.

You have GABA signaling.

You have endocannabinoid signaling histamine

signaling all these different things contribute to the overall phenotype of sleep so someone taking

melatonin if they don't have mutations in these circadian rhythm genes they may not respond as well

or people that say you know CBD doesn't really work for me they may not respond as well. Or people that say, you know, CBD doesn't really

work for me, they may not have mutations that make their body chew through endocannabinoids.

So they're living with normal endocannabinoid levels. I'm one of those people. I have homozygous

mutations. I have lower endocannabinoid levels pretty much for life. And that's why I responded

so well to supplementing with it.
