Thrilled to share a new milestone in my Healthcare journey.
I’ve recently completed my training as a DNA Genomics Expert, a field that is reshaping the future of healthcare. This step takes me deeper into "Predictive and Preventive healthcare", where science meets foresight.
It’s incredible how our genetic code can reveal risks long before symptoms appear. Grateful to my mentors, peers, and the amazing science that makes this possible.
Excited to use these insights to guide healthier lives and more personalized care.
The journey of learning never stops, and this is just the beginning.
Here’s to a future where prevention truly becomes the best cure

Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin or effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Types of Diabetes

 Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks insulin- producing cells in the pancreas. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults.

 Type 2 Diabetes: A condition where the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough insulin. It is often associated with obesity and tends to develop in adults over 45, but can increasingly occur in younger age groups.

 Gestational Diabetes: A form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth. Women who have had gestational diabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way your body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down.

Hypothyroidism has many symptoms that can vary from person to person. Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism include

fatigue
weight gain
trouble tolerating cold
joint and muscle pain
dry skin or dry, thinning hair
heavy or irregular menstrual periods or fertility problems
slowed heart rate
depression

What is Celiac disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that prevents proper nutrient absorption and the digestion of gluten.

When people diagnosed with the condition are exposed to gluten — a binding protein common in grains but also in makeup products — the immune system malfunctions and attacks the walls of the small intestine, which is responsible for absorbing nutrients from food, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation.

 People with celiac disease have a swollen and irritated small intestine, which can interfere with this absorption, leading to nutrient deficiency.

Signs and Symptoms of Celiac Disease:

Abdominal pain, bloating, or gas
Chronic diarrhea (may be constant, or on and off for several weeks)
Constipation
Pale, foul-smelling, or oily stool
Nausea and vomiting
Unexplained weight loss.

Fiber is good for you because it supports many essential functions in your body. Here’s a breakdown of why fiber is beneficial:
1. Improves Digestion
Insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool and helps it move through the digestive tract, preventing constipation.
Soluble fiber slows digestion, allowing better nutrient absorption and regular bowel movements.
💓 2. Supports Heart Health
Soluble fiber (found in oats, beans, and flaxseeds) helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) by binding to it and removing it from the body.
It may also reduce blood pressure and inflammation.
🍬 3. Regulates Blood Sugar
Fiber slows the absorption of sugar, helping control blood sugar spikes—especially helpful for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
🧠 4. Boosts Gut Health
Fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut (prebiotic effect), promoting a healthy microbiome that supports immunity, mental health, and even weight regulation.
🍽️ 5. Helps You Feel Full
High-fiber foods promote a feeling of satiety, which helps
prevent overeating and supports healthy weight management.
🛡️ 6. May Lower Risk of Disease
A high-fiber diet is associated with reduced risks of:
Colon cancer
Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
Obesity
🥦 Sources of Fiber:
Fruits (apples, berries, oranges)
Vegetables (broccoli, carrots)
Whole grains (brown rice, oats)
Legumes (beans, lentils)
Nuts & seeds
