Precision Nutrition and Personalized Diets through Genomics

Advancements in genomics and molecular biology are revolutionizing how we approach nutrition and health. This session will explore the emerging field of precision nutrition, which tailors dietary recommendations to an individual’s genetic, metabolic, and microbiome profiles. Experts will discuss how genomic variations influence nutrient metabolism, disease risk, and dietary responses. Topics will include nutrigenomics, metabolomics, and the use of digital health tools to monitor personalized dietary interventions. The session will also highlight ethical and regulatory considerations in implementing personalized nutrition at a population level. Attendees will learn about the latest research and technological tools driving the shift from generalized dietary guidelines to individualized nutrition plans. By integrating science, technology, and healthcare, precision nutrition offers a transformative approach to optimizing health, preventing disease, and promoting longevity through personalized dietary solutions.
