Institute for Optimum Nutrition On-demand CPD Course - Nutrigenomics: A Simplified Approach

  Published to Upcoming Events on Jan 30, 2024

This course will simplify the use and understanding of nutrigenomics practice. It aims to achieve that by taking you on a journey from your choice of nutrigenomic and appropriate functional testing to confirm expression and the reason for such expression. It will then take you systematically through the key pathways highlighting potential areas of concern and the optimum way of addressing imbalances in those pathways. A case study will used a in the final session to give attendees the opportunity to practice a nutrigenomic case analysis. 

Specifically, this course will help attendees understand key conditions and situations that underpin gene expression. It will then talk attendees through pathways and specific genes that have the potential to negatively impact health.

In particular, it will help attendees understand the genes related to:

• Gut function / methylation / food intolerance / gut microbiome and the cycles associated with these
• The Sulphation cycle, Biopterin cycle and hormones
• The Folate and methionine cycles 

The course will define and help the attendees to understand the purpose of each pathway and how the pathway intersect and support each other, alongside providing the causes of gene expression and impact of gene expression.

It will also provide the opportunity to understand key conditions and situations that underpin gene expression. It will then talk attendees through pathways and specific genes that have the potential to negatively impact health. 

Finally, it will consider simple approaches to address health challenges through a nutrigenomic approach and will also discuss the marketing aspect and costing for the service.
