A Fresh Take on Exposomics: Resiliency Factors That Offset Environmental Risks

It’s very difficult (often impossible) to completely avoid many of
the environmental toxins that can cause harm - like air pollution
and forever chemicals that contaminate our water and food supply.
But Drs. Bob and Rosalind Wright at Mount Sinai have a hopeful
solution to this dilemma. They are pioneering the study of
“resiliency factors,” not just “risk factors,” that can offset the
risks of harmful exposures. It’s a fresh and welcome take on
exposomics that I am very excited to share with you. For instance -
did you know that omega-3 intake during pregnancy can protect
against the development of asthma in the child, even if the child
is exposed to known risk factors for asthma? Or that positive
relationships (ones that create a sensitive, positive, caregiving
environment) have been shown to potentially mitigate the effects of
environmental toxins? As a practitioner, I am always looking to
empower patients with real solutions to the health challenges we
inevitably face and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I
did. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at

Dr. O. Robert Wright is the Ethel H. Wise Chair of
Environmental Medicine at Mount Sinai and co-founder of the
Institute for Exposomic Research. His research links environmental
exposures, like those tracked in the PROGRESS cohort, with the
developmental origins of diseases. Dr. Rosalind J. Wright is Dean
for Public Health at Icahn School of Medicine and Co-Director of
the Institute for Climate Change, Environmental Health, and
Exposomics. A pioneer in environmental health, she studies how
early-life exposures influence chronic diseases and has been
NIH-funded for over 23 years. She also mentors the next generation
of clinical scientists.
