Description:
Nutritional Genomics is a complex and valuable part of our work in nutrition. We can no longer choose to exclude this knowledge if we want to practice effective integrative and functional nutrition. This webinar is an overview of what nutritional genomics entails, from exploring the key foundational principles that all practitioners need to know when working with genetics in their practice, to determining what will stand out as nutrigenomic science you can trust. We finish off with 9 genes we can interrogate to determine their clinical nutrigenomics value.

Part 1: Foundational Principles of Nutrigenomics
• Upstream nutrition
• Genetic Variation
• Penetrance
• Nutrigenomics vs nutrigenetics
• Pathways and Polygenic risk scores
• Epigenetics and daily choice
• H=G=C

Part 2: Nutrigenomic Science You Can Trust
• Not all SNPs are equal
• Clinical and scientific utility
• Frequency
• Study quality
• Biological plausibility
• Pathway impact
• Clinical impact
• Intervention
• Biomarkers
• Changing decision making

Part 3: Interrogating Genes to Determine Their Clinical Nutrigenomics Value
• GSTM1
• LCT
• APOE
• ACE
• TNFA
• MTHFR
• HFE
• NQ01
• COMT

Learning Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
• Define and explore the key foundational principles of genetics.
• Define the elements of scientific validity and clinical utility as foundational principles for building science we can trust.
• Understand the polygenic risk score as an objective methodology.
• Be able to evaluate the clinical usefulness of genes and SNPs you will encounter in genetic test reports.
