About this course

Nutrigenomics, also known as nutritional genomics, is broadly defined as the interactive relationship between nutritional compounds and genetic expression. This has sparked a multi-billion dollar technology and research industry focused on leading in the personalised nutrition space. 

However, despite the excitement around the potential, much of the hype around truly “precision nutrition” remains unrealised. No mistake, there have been tremendous advancements in the field of “omics” research, but it also poses both ethical and regulatory challenges including potential for personal data misuse. As a result, it is riddled with controversy on the ethical and most effective potential in designing tailored nutritional recommendations for individuals.

In this lecture we examine what we know about nutrigenomics, where you can expect in the field to evolve, and we define an evidence-based approach to practical practice implementation. 
What you receive:
  • A personalised certificate of completion including continuing education hours
  • Clear protocol explanations from some of the world's top practitioners
  • Clinical pearls for improved practice results
  • Access to your audio and video recordings via the App Store
  • A downloadable PDF of the presenter’s slides
  • Links to all referenced research papers and useful clinical handouts
