Back to School

Peter D'Adamo, ND, MIfHI

The “back to school” rituals are here for all of us this September.

Hard to believe that the summer has come and gone. The “back to school” rituals are here for all of us this September. We brought our oldest daughter, Claudia, up to college in Massachusetts over the weekend to begin her freshman year. It was a heartfelt moment for me as I recalled her as a newborn—a beautiful little baby who needed everything as she began life in the world. Now she is a beautiful young woman who is spreading her wings and embarking on a new journey.

Emily, our younger daughter, began her sophomore year in high school. She is experiencing life without her big sister, and it’ll take her some time to get her rhythm. I expect that she’ll be hitting her new stride pretty quickly, and I am looking forward to having some one-on-one time with her. We have a little breathing room, and before we know it, we’ll be looking at colleges with Emily.

I started my Clinic shift at the University of Bridgeport two weeks ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in an academic environment, and I am totally loving it. I’ve got great students, I enjoy teaching, and it is causing me to stay on top of my material! UB is a great school, and the clinic provides tremendous health care services. My shift is called the Personalized Medicine shift, and it is a great way for people who cannot afford to go to a private practice to receive quality medical care in a nurturing environment. For more information on the shift, you can go to https://www.bridgeport.edu/pages/2638.asp

NAP is going into the fall full-throttle. We are launching the SWAMI Xpress™ software, which is an amazingly dense program designed to personalize your dietary and nutritional programs. I created it specifically to enhance the material presented in both Eat Right and The GenoType™ Diet, and all early reports are that it is surpassing expectations. Personally, having done the programming myself, I think it provides a depth of material that you can’t find anywhere, and I am really pleased to introduce it to you.

With the summer weather being so un-summery, Martha and I have barely had a chance to do any serious biking. We did get out to Montauk for a few days, and I thought I would share a picture of me all suited up for riding. I hope there will be some early fall rides – we promised ourselves we would ride underneath the Verranzano Bridge before it gets too cold!

Stay healthy this fall, and keep your immune systems strong!

Happy September,

Peter

Your Immune System...In Training

Ann Quasarano

Since over 40% of our immune system is located in our digestive tract, our diet can be the number one defense against a poorly functioning immune system. Following the diet that is right for your type acts to improve immunity and protect you from disease.

With cold and flu season just a few months away, the late summer and early fall is the ideal time to get your immune system into tip-top shape. You can think of your immune system as an athlete getting ready to compete in the Olympics. You want to be in prime condition when it’s game time!

The first step is getting back to eating Right for Your Type. If you’ve fallen off the wagon during the summer, now is the time to review your beneficial and super beneficial lists and make special note of your avoids. Remember: when you take a bite of food, you are impacting your immune system and its capacity to function. As Dr. D’Adamo writes in Eat Right 4 Your Type, “The immune system works to define ‘self’ and destroy ‘non-self.’ This is a critical function, for without it your immune system could attack your own tissues by mistake or allow a dangerous organism access to vital areas of your body. In spite of all it’s complexity, the immune system boils down to two basic functions: recognizing ‘US’ and killing ‘THEM.’ ” Since over 40% of our immune system is located in our digestive tract, our diet can be the number one defense against a poorly functioning immune system. Following the diet that is right for your type acts to improve immunity and protect you from disease.

By now, we all know that proper exercise plays a critical role in health and well-being. But a study reported in the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that regular work-outs can influence your immune function. According to the study, people who exercise regularly appear to be less likely than couch potatoes to catch colds. Researchers found that in survey results from 547 healthy adults, people who reported being the most active had 25% fewer colds over the course of a year than those on the less active end of the spectrum. So Type A’s get out those yoga mats and Type O’s get your running shoes ready!

Another interesting factoid comes from a study done by the University of Cardiff in the UK. They found that people who regularly eat breakfast may be less likely to get colds or the flu. In a 10 week study of 100 healthy students —nearly half of the participants developed an upper respiratory infection during the study period, those with multiple illnesses, reported that they did not eat breakfast. Those prone to anxiety and stress were even more likely to experience cold and flu symptoms. Bottom line, starting the day with food is crucial to health—and starting the day with a blood type friendly breakfast is an even better way to start the day!

It goes without saying, to take some common sense approaches to staying well. Frequent hand washing, using “cough and sneeze etiquette,” and avoiding people who are already sick, are all good preventative measures. Getting adequate rest and exercise will also help support your immune system. Dr. D’Adamo also suggests that you include some immunogenic polysaccharide containing foods, such as parsnips, and immune boosting foods such as garlic and onions into your diet. Larch arabinogalactan, derived from the Western Larch tree, is another polysaccharide that has been widely acclaimed by the scientific community as an immune enhancing supplement. Green tea appears to interfere with attachment in many strains of influenza.

Studies also show that elderberry extract (like NAP’s Proberry) is beneficial in preventing the spread of viral influenza, as it blocks neuraminidase, the enzyme made by the flu virus which allows it to attach to the tissues of the nose and throat. It’s likely that antioxidants called flavonoids—which are contained in the extract—stimulate the immune system and other properties in elderberry extract have an anti-inflammatory effect. As the chill sets in, it’s a good time to get yourself back on track. Eating right, exercising, starting a supplement regimen, and using common sense approaches to avoiding germs will ensure a happier, healthier you this winter!

Dr. D’Adamo Begins Personalized Medicine Shift at Connecticut’s University of Bridgeport’s School of Naturopathic Medicine

“I think that a Personalized Medicine Shift at UB serves two major purposes. First, it will alert the students to the hidden potential of the unique biochemistry that is locked inside each of us...Second, as part of the UB Health Center, we are pledged to provide affordable access to all services.

Dr. D’Adamo is leading a team of Naturopathic student interns on a journey into individualized medicine in a new Personalized Medicine Shift at the University’s Health Sciences Center in Bridgeport, CT. The program is designed to instruct students on Dr. D’Adamo’s protocols for determining the best nutritional program for each person. They are taught how to gather information about the client, including: biometric measurements, family and personal history and the collection and analysis of laboratory samples. The data is then entered into Dr. D’Adamo’s SWAMI software and a detailed dietary program is created based on the individual’s nutritional needs.

“I think that a Personalized Medicine Shift at UB serves two major purposes,” says Dr. D’Adamo. “First, it will alert the students to the hidden potential of the unique biochemistry that is locked inside each of us; a scientific fact at the cutting edge of nutrition research, although not extensively explored in medical education. Second, as part of the UB Health Center, we are pledged to provide affordable access to all services. Hopefully Bridgeport residents and members of the greater Fairfield County community will take advantage of this rare opportunity to receive completely a personalized diet plan, meal plan and recipe guide, all for a fraction of its actual cost.”

A full workup by the Personalized Medicine Shift extends over two separate one-hour visits and costs $125.00. It includes all necessary blood grouping and other genetic testing, all biometric measurements and fingerprinting, urine testing, breath hydrogen testing and body composition analysis. During their second visit clients will consult with a member of the team and receive two-volume print out of their diet report and cook book.
