Dr. Gordon Lauc is the world’s leading glycan researcher. In this podcast, Boomer sits down with Dr. Lauc to understand the function of glycans, how glycan testing is currently being used, why glycans are not mainstream and how they may serve as an indicator of future incidences. Are glycans the future of predictive testing? Check it out in this episode. <h2>Who is Gordan Lauc?&nbsp;</h2> Dr Gordan Lauc is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry and founder and CEO of Genos Ltd. He graduated molecular biology at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Science in 1992, and obtained PhD in Biochemistry and the University of Zagreb in 1995. He got his postdoctoral training at the Institute for Medical Physics and Biophysics in Münster and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.&nbsp; Since 1993 he is employed at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry in Zagreb. Between 1998 and 2010 he was also part-time employed at the University of Osijek School of Medicine where he founded DNA laboratory for the identification of war victims and also served as Vice-Dean for Science between 2001 and 2005.

The delivery mechanism is unique (buccle troche). It is especially effective for me on improving short-term memory, focus, and verbal fluency. It’s the closest thing that I found to NZT and I think you guys should try it out. Get yours at <a href="https://troscriptions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://troscriptions.com/</a> and use code BOOMER for 10% off. Full disclosure: I am involved with the company (I like the product that much). <h4>GlycanAge</h4> I'm fascinated with Biological Age. Our guest today dives deep into glycans and their potential role in biological age. GlycanAge uses glycans as a predictive measure to determine your biological age.If you want to try out GlycanAge for yourself, or perhaps for your clients, you can go to <a href="https://glycanage.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://glycanage.com/</a> and just order a test. Self-knowledge inspires change - it’s time you take control of your health. <h2>Continue Your High Performance Journey</h2> Website <a href="https://glycanage.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://glycanage.com/</a>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/gordanlauc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/gordanlauc</a>LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordanlauc/?originalSubdomain=hr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/gordanlauc/?originalSubdomain=hr</a> <h2>Disclaimer&nbsp;</h2> This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.
