IMPACT

At the end of each of my podcasts I ask my guest this question: “Entrepreneurism, are we born this way, or do we learn to become entrepreneurs?” Never has this question been as loaded as it was for my guest today. Dr. Mansoor Mohammed is a clinical geneticist, and we discussed the correlation and connection between our genetic makeup, our DNA, and our potential and capacity for optimization. We weren’t looking at genetics from the perspective of markers for disease, but rather we went deep into the types of things we need to look for and understand if we’re going to analyze our genetics and use it to make us effective in the world. We looked at ways that genetics can be used to optimize our nutrition, we touched briefly on risk factors and then we got into the personality traits that we can actually look for in terms of markers, and that we can cultivate and leverage to make ourselves more effective on our mission to make this world a better place. This was a fascinating interview because it’s universally aligned to everybody. We all are made up of all of these genes. We each have this DNA imprint that sets the tone and the blueprint for who we become in this world. There is something for everyone to learn in this interview.

MORE ABOUT DR. MANSOOR MOHAMMED

Dr. Mohammed is the Founder and President of ManaGene, considered one of the most innovative leaders in the emerging personalized medicine and lifestyle genomics space.

In 2017, ManaGene partnered with Dr. Bryce Wylde and other industry leaders to launch YouTrients (www.youtrients.me), a company revolutionizing the nutraceutical industry by being the first to utilize genomic testing to create customized, individualized supplements and vitamins.

Dr. Mohammed is widely regarded as a pioneer in medical genomics and has been the recipient of multiple academic and industry awards. He is the holder of several patents in the general fields of molecular diagnostics and genomics research, and is one of the most sought-after national and international conference speakers in the genre of personalized medical genomics.
While completing his clinical post-doctoral internship at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Dr. Mohammed was credited with discovering one of two genomic pathways that define drug resistance to the Novartis-developed leukemia therapy, Gleevec, and co-published these findings in the journal Science (2001) with the renowned oncologist Dr. Charles Sawyers. That same year, he was the co-author of the American Society of Human Genetics’ Paper of the Year Award with his mentor, Dr. Eric Vilain, for their discovery of the role of the Wnt4 gene in sex-reversal. These early studies helped to define Dr. Mohammed as one of the few genomic specialists with core competencies in both the genomic characteristics of childhood development, as well as the genomic etiology of oncology/cancer.
Concomitant with his postdoctoral fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine (2001), Dr. Mohammed was instrumental in the development and commercialization of the industry’s first available comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays. He has since been widely regarded as one of the primary innovators in the diagnostic application of genomic microarrays and has contributed to seminal studies in that field. He was the co-primary author of the first peer-reviewed study utilizing microarray CGH techniques in the clinical diagnosis of developmental abnormalities (2002) and later (2008) was the senior author of the first peer-reviewed study utilizing microarray CGH techniques for clinical oncology purposes. The CGH technologies that Dr. Mohammed helped to develop and commercialize have continued to revolutionize the understanding of the human genome and have spawned thousands of peer-reviewed papers across the international academic community. Considered by Dr. Mohammed as one of the early highlights of his career, and in recognition of his contributions to developing genomic microarray technologies, he was invited as a plenary speaker to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix at the world Human Genome Organization meeting (Cancun, Mexico 2003).
Dr. Mohammed was a founder (2001) and Director of Research and Development at Spectral Genomics Inc. Under Dr. Mohammed’s scientific stewardship, Spectral Genomics quickly grew from a start-up funded by Baylor College of Medicine, to an authority in the emerging field of medical comparative genomics and was eventually acquired by PerkinElmer Inc.
With the acquisition of Spectral Genomics, Dr. Mohammed was invited to head the (then) newly established Advanced Technologies Department at North America’s largest diagnostics reference laboratory, Quest Diagnostics Inc. (2003-2006). Overseeing a state of the art facility at Quest, he was responsible for designing the roadmap and executing the adoption of new diagnostic technologies for this Fortune 500 Company (Market Capitalization exceeding 8 billion US). Within his first year at Quest, Dr. Mohammed was honored with the Patent Innovation Award for prolific innovations and discoveries and notably during his tenure was the youngest recipient of the Medical Innovation Award: Quest’s highest and most prestigious employee recognition award.
In 2006, Dr. Mohammed was recruited to co-found and lead the development of Combimatrix Molecular Diagnostics (CMDX). He served as the latter’s Chief Scientific Officer, Chief Operating Officer and for his last 4 years of tenure, as Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, CMDX became the first diagnostic company offering genomic microarray-based diagnostics to receive an official “freedom to operate” clearance by the FDA. Moreover, under his guidance, CMDX developed and launched the most comprehensive portfolio of clinically validated genomics based tests in the industry and witnessed 9 consecutive quarters of financial growth with its stock price growing from ~$4/share to over $16/share (Nasdaq).
After a decade of intense professional growth, and with an extensive network of academic, clinical and industrial colleagues, Dr. Mohammed left CMDX in October 2010 to pursue the launch of his own firm, ManaGene Inc. ManaGene is focused on providing best-in-class consulting services to the personalized medicine and genomic diagnostic service sectors. It capitalizes on Dr. Mohammed’s unique breadth and depth of experience to help companies and clinics navigate through the complex ecosystem characteristic of personalized medicine and diagnostics ventures. ManaGeneD counts as its clients, medical clinics, diagnostic companies and research institutes in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Dr. Mohammed has served on the Canadian Board of Autistic Research and is a consultant to the world-renowned Toronto Center of Applied Genomics. He has had the honor of being the personal guest of the former Premiere of Ontario, the Honorable Dalton McGuinty, and on several occasions, the guest of the Canadian Consulate of California. He has also sat on several think tank panels, including ones from the FDA and National Institute of Health (NIH) and is a frequent academic lecturer on the role of genomics in medicine.

Today, I had the chance to sit down and talk to David Brady. Dr. Brady is an expert on fibromyalgia and cellular fatigue. We got into the daily habits that you can engage in to maximize your energy, and we also talked about the types of patterns that he sees in his clinical practice that are common to people that are ending up with chronic fatigue or chronic fibromyalgia. This is a fascinating interview if you want to understand how to tap into and access more energy on a daily basis. I bet it’s not the things you are thinking of, and these are often things that you can do easily in your own life.

Today I got to have a conversation with Rachel Maskell. Rachel is an entrepreneur, a mom, and a boss. Appropriately, her company is called Mum Boss. She does a podcast and offers amazing little mom boxes that facilitate self-care. This was a really great interview because we got underneath the hood of some of the beliefs that we carry as women that prevent us from legitimately engaging in self-care. We talked about Rachel’s non-negotiables and about her “morning pages,” which are her way of taking time to connect with her creative self. We discussed the "perfect women" and why aiming for perfection is usually the thing that holds us back. We talked about pulling together and utilizing all of these skills to move ourselves forward in life. This is the interview for you if you want to know what it is that motivates us as women, as entrepreneurs, and as mom-bosses.

Key Takeaways:

This interview is a little bit different. Today I had the opportunity to sit down with one of my entrepreneurial superheroes, Murray Walker (also know as my dad). When at the birth of this podcast I put together a list of people I would ultimately like to interview, my dad was at the top of the list. He is the reason that I went into business, and the person who sculpted so much of my way of thinking. He is, in short, my entrepreneurial hero.

In this interview I get to ask my dad about business, and also a little bit about what he has learned from me about health. We talked about opportunity, pushing things to the next level, balancing our time, and putting things into perspective. It was tremendously insightful and I truly learned things about him that I never knew before. I hope you enjoy our conversation, too.

Our conversation centered around behavioural changes that we can make to alter our neurochemistry, the things that can literally change our brain to turn us into superhumans. We also talked about the differences between men and women, the types of behaviours we can engage in that will make us better partners, improve our morning routines and support us in living a life of gratitude. In this interview you will learn some really cool hacks to live a superhuman life, and be in a superhuman relationship. Enjoy!

CALL TO ACTION

This week’s call to action is all about detoxing your social circle. Is there a social situation, relationship or circumstance that triggers negative/toxic thoughts or habits for you? If so, how can you take action to overcome them? Make yourself accountable and inspire others by sharing it in our Entrepology Facebook page.

I fundamentally believe that when people are well they can change the world, and I work everyday to help reduce the risk of chronic disease in my patients. So when I heard today’s guest, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, speak, I knew that I had to have her on the podcast. Dr. Seneff presented me with an inconvenient truth; that the food I was eating and feeding to my family was not only killing us, but the people who were coming to see me for help. Our interview today is slightly more technical than you might be used to, but if you eat food, this interview is crucial to your survival.

Today I sat down with Adele Tevlin of Adele Wellness. Adele is a weight loss coach, cognitive behavioral therapist, and holistic nutritionist. She offers a really unique program and approach to helping people lose weight. Although we did talk about how to lose weight effectively (because it is something that we are both asked about frequently in our practices), our conversation really revolved around body image, how we optimize our energy, and thought patterns that contribute to a weight problem in the first place. We both look at weight issues not as being caused by overconsumption of calories, but by a desperate desire for dopamine. This means that weight management, body management, and getting to your ideal place all begins in your brain.

Key Takeaways:

[:51] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[2:37] Adele helps people recognize the thoughts that get in the way of what they really want.

[4:20] Why do people overeat?

[4:56] Food addiction is very similar to other addictions.

[6:40] Some people may be more prone to food addiction because they crave more dopamine than other people.

[7:40] Commitment and readiness are crucial when attempting to change eating behaviors.

[9:06] Sometimes it takes experiencing significant pain related to your situation to truly be ready to commit to change.

[11:00] Adele teaches her clients to reframe trigger situations.

[12:42] A person’s family of origin can be a common challenge in their weight loss goals.

[14:08] Adele helps her clients structure plans for coping with triggers at family gatherings.

[15:08] Make conscious decisions, and don’t feel guilty about them.

[15:29] Your mind is very good at executing patterns, but it also has great capacity for change.

[19:03] Let people know about your healthy lifestyle change.

[19:36] Adele is a fan of the Paleo Diet and intermittent fasting.

[21:52] Women need a lot more carbohydrates than they think.

[25:32] An entrepreneur’s ability to find loopholes can sometimes be a disservice when it comes to diet.

[26:03] How can you break a yo-yo dieting cycle?

[27:17] It can be more difficult to lose weight as a vegan.

[29:34] How can people find their optimal body image?

[31:25] A person’s true “why” is never the first thing they tell you.

[33:52] Sometimes a person’s initial, shallow reason for motivation will lead them to their deeper “why.”

[35:25] As a parent, it is important not to present food as “good” and “bad.”

[39:01] Health is being mindful and balanced.

[42:12] Take this month’s quiz about digestion at meghanwalker.com/entrepologyquiz.
