Nutrigenomics: Understanding Gene-Diet Interactions

This exam examines the science behind gene-diet interactions and their influence on health. Candidates will discuss how dietary components can alter gene expression and metabolic pathways.

The relevance of this field extends to tailoring dietary recommendations based on genetic assessments, thus promoting enhanced public health initiatives. It is essential for clinicians and nutritionists who aim to personalize dietary interventions.

Participants will be evaluated on their ability to convey their understanding of the interactions between dietary factors and genetic predispositions. Clarity in articulating complex concepts will be critical.

There will be opportunities for candidates to discuss contemporary research findings and their implications on weight management and chronic disease prevention.
