This document summarizes an interview with Ron Cordes, the co-founder and executive co-chairman of AssetMark. It discusses Cordes' journey to impact investing and how he transitioned his family foundation's portfolio to be 100% invested for impact and ESG goals. Cordes describes how his initial 20% allocation to impact investing outperformed during the 2008 financial crisis because it was invested in uncorrelated assets in developing markets. He discusses how he helped grow the impact investing field through organizations like ImpactAssets by educating financial advisors and connecting them to impact fund managers. Cordes' theory of change is that impact investing can help solve big social and environmental problems by mobilizing more capital from financial markets beyond just phil

Part # 1: Energy Balance and Weight Control
(20 Points, 4 points each question)
You are a professional, Health Coach, specializing in diet and exercise, and have just taken on a client struggling with managing a healthy weight. Jack is a 28 yearold Male, 5 foot 10 inches tall, and a former College Athlete. Jack currently weighs 235 lbs, and has struggled with managing a healthy weight ever since he graduated from college. He currently works a full time job, in a busy insurance claims call center, where he is very sedentary. Jack suffers from very low energy, and after a long day at work, he struggles to find the motivation to plan healthy meals, and stick to a regular exercise routine. His current lifestyle has contributed to a 50 lbs weight gain, over the past 6 years. Jack’s many previous attempts, to take off the weight, have proven to be unsuccessful, so his Doctor suggested that he make a few lifestyle changes, but Jack feels overwhelmed, and isn’t exactly sure where to start. His friends and family have been sharing stories, about people they know, who have found success on a variety of popular diets, and one friend even asked that he consider weight loss surgery. Jack doesn’t want to go to the extreme, but based on his frustration, with not being able to manage a healthy weight, he has not completely rejected the idea. Jack has been warned about the potential health risks, if he doesn’t make a few changes, and is hopeful that you can help guide her in the right direction.

Calories
Calories are a unit of energy but determining accurate calorie counts is complex. Food labels may not always be trusted as the Atwater system uses averages that don't account for individual food properties or processing. Additionally, different foods require varying amounts of energy to digest. Quality of calories, not just quantity, is important for health and weight. Focusing only on calorie counting risks oversimplifying a multifaceted issue.
Form 5 Chapter 2 Part 1
1. The document discusses nutrition and calorie requirements. Different foods have different calorific values based on their chemical energy content, which is measured in calories or kilocalories.
2. The calorific value of food is determined by measuring the energy released when the food is completely burned, often using a bomb calorimeter.
3. A person's calorie requirements depend on physical activity, body size, age, sex, health, and temperature - with larger bodies and younger people typically needing more calories.

Energy
The document discusses energy and its sources, uses, and requirements by the human body. It defines energy and lists the main sources of energy as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats obtained through food. These macronutrients provide energy measured in kilojoules or calories. Different activities require different amounts of energy, and an individual's daily energy needs depend on factors like age, physical activity level, and health. The basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy needed to sustain vital body functions at rest.

Food and Metabolism 23.pptx
This document discusses energy, metabolism, and how the body uses food for fuel. It covers the following key points:
1. Energy is measured in kilojoules and kilocalories, and is required for life processes like heart function, organ function, temperature regulation, and muscle movement. Different people need varying amounts depending on age, gender, size, activity level, and genes.
2. Energy comes from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food. Carbohydrates and proteins provide 4 calories per gram while fat provides 9 calories per gram, making it the most energy dense.
3. Basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy needed for basic body functions at rest. It can
Are you right for the keto diet
This document provides an overview of the ketogenic diet, including what it is, its potential benefits, how to implement it, and some concerns. The key points are:
- The keto diet is very low in carbs (5-10% of calories), moderate in protein (10-15%), and high in fat (70-80%). This induces a metabolic state called ketosis where the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbs.
- Potential benefits include weight loss, lower blood sugar/risk of diabetes, reduced inflammation and cancer risk, increased energy and brain health.
- Implementation involves restricting net carbs to 20-50g per day, getting protein based on lean body mass,
Vitamin d and health
Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and plays an important role in bone health and cellular functions throughout the body. It is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidneys to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Deficiency is linked to increased risk of various chronic diseases. Vitamin D receptors exist in most cells and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has wide-ranging effects, including roles in immune function, cell growth regulation, and reduction of inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis.
Gluten free eating
This document discusses gluten free eating and its benefits. It states that individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity cannot eat foods containing gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, and rye. It provides lists of hidden sources of gluten and acceptable gluten-free grains and starches. The document recommends eating gluten-free only if medically necessary, as it can be expensive and risk nutrient deficiencies. Whole grains are promoted as heart-healthy due to fiber, vitamins, and minerals that may reduce risks for chronic diseases.

Coconut oil handout
Coconut oil has various health benefits. It contains antioxidants and antimicrobial fatty acids. While high in saturated fat, studies show coconut oil may not increase heart disease risk like other saturated fats due to its unique fatty acid composition. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and can be used for cooking or baking, where it adds flavor and has a higher burning point than other oils. The fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently than other fats and may provide benefits for conditions like malabsorption.
Coconut oil
This document summarizes the health effects of coconut oil by comparing its fatty acid composition to other oils like corn oil. It finds that while coconut oil has more saturated fat than corn oil, its medium-chain fatty acids may provide benefits like supporting immune function and reducing abdominal fat. However, it cautions that coconut oil should not completely replace unsaturated vegetable oils which provide essential fatty acids and are generally healthier. Overall, the document concludes coconut oil can be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet for its possible health benefits and flavor in cooking.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a compound found in various plants and foods like grapes, blueberries, and red wine. It has many health benefits such as being an antioxidant that reduces oxidative damage, inhibiting cancer development at various stages, reducing inflammation, and helping to regulate blood glucose and lipid levels. Resveratrol protects cells and tissues from damage by reducing free radicals, preventing platelet aggregation, inhibiting cancer-promoting enzymes, and modulating inflammatory pathways. These properties may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Why the blue is good for you
The document discusses the health benefits of blueberries. It states that blueberries contain phytochemicals called anthocyanins that act as antioxidants and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Regular consumption of blueberries may improve brain, vision and heart health, and reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. The document concludes that blueberries are a superfood due to the various health benefits provided by their phytochemical content.
Cacao polyphenols
This document provides an overview of research on flavonoids found in cocoa and chocolate. It summarizes that cocoa and chocolate are high in flavonoids like catechins and epicatechins which have been linked to health benefits. Studies show these flavonoids can improve blood vessel function, lower blood pressure, and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease by reducing oxidation of LDL cholesterol and inhibiting platelet aggregation. However, the amount of flavonoids varies depending on cocoa processing and the type of chocolate. More research is still needed on the long term effects of cocoa flavonoids in humans.
Blueberries
This document provides information about blueberries, including:
- Blueberries have many health benefits and antioxidant compounds that may delay chronic diseases.
- They are related to cranberries, bilberries, and cowberries, and are cultivated and picked wild.
- Blueberries have the highest concentration of antioxidants and may reduce cancer and heart disease risk by inhibiting tumor growth and reducing risk factors.
The dash diet plan
The document discusses the DASH diet plan for reducing hypertension. It provides information on hypertension prevalence, blood pressure goals, and how high blood pressure affects the body. The DASH diet is highlighted as an effective non-pharmacological approach to treating hypertension through its focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, red meat, and sugar. Weight loss through diet and exercise is also emphasized as important for reducing hypertension risk factors like obesity.
Nutrient sensing and metabolic disturbances
This document summarizes potential causes of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, including ectopic fat accumulation, impaired fat oxidation, defects in mitochondrial function, and impaired lipid metabolism. It also discusses adipose tissue as an endocrine organ and the roles of adipocytokines like adiponectin and resistin. Finally, it examines nutrient sensing pathways such as AMPK that regulate cellular energy levels and metabolism.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs in approximately 5% of pregnancies and results in high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It develops when the placenta produces hormones that prevent the mother's cells from properly using insulin. To manage gestational diabetes, patients must monitor their blood sugar levels, follow a healthy diet with balanced carbohydrate intake, engage in moderate physical activity, and potentially take insulin or other medications. Maintaining blood sugar control is important for the health of both the mother and baby.
Diabetes and macrosomia
This document discusses several studies related to gestational diabetes and macrosomia. The first study found that maternal BMI had a greater influence on the development of large for gestational age (LGA) babies than glucose control. A second study identified that maternal BMI and LGA in a previous pregnancy most influenced fetal growth in the late second and early third trimesters, while maternal glycemia predominantly impacted growth later in the third trimester. A third study examined the degree of glucose control needed in women with type 1 diabetes to achieve normal fetal growth and neonatal proportions.

This document discusses common complications that can arise from diabetes, including heart disease, kidney disease, eye complications, nerve damage, foot complications, skin complications, and depression. It provides details on each complication, such as how diabetes increases the risks of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. It emphasizes the importance of controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to reduce health risks.
Obesity in children & teens
This document discusses obesity in teens and children. It finds that Mexican-American and non-Hispanic black youth have higher rates of overweight than white youth. Adolescents and older adults are more likely to be overweight than younger groups. Obesity results from long-term energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories used. Having two overweight parents significantly increases a child's risk of becoming overweight themselves. Measuring tricep skinfold thickness from ages 3 to 17 showed children of two obese parents were three times as fat as children of two lean parents by age 17.
Childhood obesity basics
This document provides an overview of childhood obesity including prevalence, risks, environmental and genetic factors, critical periods of development, diet, physical activity, and recommendations for prevention. Some key points:
- Rates of childhood obesity in the US have increased 2-3 fold over the last 25 years. Approximately 18.8% of US children ages 6-11 are overweight.
- Risk factors for childhood obesity include family history, low income, lack of physical activity, excess calorie intake, excessive screen time, and lack of breastfeeding.
- Critical periods for the development of obesity are gestation, ages 5-6, and adolescence. Early life nutrition and growth patterns can impact future health.
Lycopene
This document discusses lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It provides lycopene's sources, history of research on it, levels of intake in different populations, content in various foods, biological activities including antioxidant effects, and potential health benefits related to reducing risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. The Pennington Nutrition Series publishes research from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center on nutrition, chronic disease prevention, and healthy aging.
Healthy grilling
Grilling vegetables and fruits instead of red meats can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. When vegetables are grilled, they do not form cancer-causing compounds like meats do. Colorful vegetables like corn, zucchini, and bell peppers as well as fruits make for healthy grilling options. To prevent the formation of cancer-causing PAHs and HCAs when grilling meats, one should use techniques like pre-cooking meats, avoiding excess fat and charring, frequent flipping, and marinating meats in herbs and spices.
Health benefits of green tea
This document summarizes potential health benefits of green tea. It discusses how green tea contains polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG, that may provide benefits. Some potential benefits highlighted include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. The document also discusses how green tea's antioxidants may protect cells from damage and help prevent chronic diseases associated with aging.
Genetic considerations in obesity development
The document summarizes genetic research on human obesity from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. It details that over 600 genes have been associated with obesity. Specific genetic disorders are described that can cause obesity like Cushing's syndrome. Mouse models are used to study obesity genes and their role in food intake and metabolism. Genome-wide studies have linked obesity phenotypes to particular chromosomes. The research aims to identify gene combinations and mutations that influence obesity risk and how they interact with environment.
Adolescent curriculum Lesson plan 4

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
