Ashville, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2015 -- When every chef who could possibly contribute to killing the President of the United States is brought into a room, things get pretty serious. Executive Chef to the President, Marti Mongiello took it to heart - literally. His catch, of Grilled Pacific Ocean Salmon with Polynesian Salsa over Wild Rice is nice to try at home also from his appearance at the LIVE WELL Expo held at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center in Asheville, NC, Saturday, March 28.

Mongiello prepares medical based cuisine centered on scientific evidence accepted on the broadest basis of doctors, worldwide. He was trained by Doctor Dean Ornish and graduated from the Preventive Medicine Research Institute (PMRI), which instructs, "What you include in your diet is as important as what you exclude. If you get on a diet, chances are you'll get off a diet. Sooner or later. For most people, being on a diet—any diet—is not sustainable."

Chef Marti teaches the public or assists a private client, with their Doctors, on analysis of their DNA and is a member of the largest repository of human genetic data on earth, http://www.23andme.com. "Drugs and food are as important as prescription pads and cookbooks," he cautions. "Many drugs are made from plants and vegetables and http://www.23andme.com has pacts with a dozen companies including Roche's Genentech unit and Pfizer. Dr. Scheller and Ms. Wojcicki, CEO, are moving forward with potential discoveries related to eye disease, cancer, metabolic and immune-system disorders. "Most humans have genetic mutations in their DNA, so mitigating that with lifestyle and eating is critical and hidden information." "Dr. Collins of the Human Genome Project and National Institutes of Health is also moving forward on biomedical research, the microbiome and pharmacogenomics. We use this research towards obesity, inflammatory diseases, autism and food selection," the former White House Military Office chef states.

"Unlocking all of these doctors research and combining them together, as a chef, is how we are proactively leading the industry. DNA characterization with ability to select the best foods and treatment from prediction of prognosis is unheard of, generally." "We break it down to a simple level and have graduated over 3000 students from our Culinary Institute. Ingles Markets in the Southeast of the USA offers wonderful, healthy food choices. Southerners are smart and I've never seen so many options available. Just the other day I bought some dragonfruit from the Pacific!" the chef quips.
