Nutrigenomics and Personalized Diet Plans

Nutrigenomics is an emerging field that studies how genes interact with dietary components to influence health outcomes. This session will explore how genetic variations affect nutrient metabolism, obesity susceptibility, and insulin sensitivity. Experts will discuss how genomic testing can be used to develop personalized diet plans for individuals with diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. The session will cover key genes involved in nutrient absorption, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory responses. Attendees will learn about the clinical applications of nutrigenomics in dietary counselling and how to integrate genetic insights into patient care.
