Symposium Session: Incorporating the Future of Nutrition Into Your Practice: Nutrigenomics

Nutrigenomics is the study of how food affects a person's genes and how a person's genes affect the way the body responds to food. Nutrigenomics is used to understand how genes and diet together may affect a person's health, and there are tremendous opportunities for dietitians when it comes to understanding and incorporating this new area into their practice. Mascha Davis and Ginger Hultin will show RDs how they can build their business and support their clients through this new technology, and that genomics is the future of personalized nutrition!

This is not a webinar or course for purchase - this is a module for credit claiming for our 2023 Spring Symposium attendees and cannot be purchased or taken by non-attendees. These sessions are exclusive to our Symposium; however, the topics may be revisited in the future in the form of a webinar or self-study course.

  1. Define nutrigenomics and how it’s different from working with medical genetics.
