Welcome to Nutrigenomics Institute

Some people are more inclined to suffer from certain diseases and conditions than others due to their particular genetic makeup.

The increasing demand of online genetic tests and services for Heritable Diseases and Conditions by various nutrigenomics companies in order to get a personalized nutrigenomics diet, has meant that healthcare professionals, such as dietitians and nutritionists, are being asked more questions from their patients about what kind of diet is better for them according to their genetic makeup.

However, many of these professionals, like you, have not studied genetics and have low levels of confidence to respond to these questions.

Learn with us about nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics and be able to make valuable nutritional recommendations based on your patient´s individual genetics.

What is nutrigenomics? Is it the same as nutrigenetics?

Let us begin with the concept of Nutritional Genomics and some definitions of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics.

Recently, the definition of Nutritional Genomics has been broadened to encompass nutritional factors that protect the genome from damage. The main objectives are: Understand the effects of diet and nutrients on the functioning of the genome, how genetic variation affects the individual’s response to food and personalize the diets based on individual needs for the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease.

Let us explain now the difference between nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics.

Nutrigenetics studies the presence of a particular gene variant or polymorphism that in most cases merely connotes a predisposition to a particular disease process that may be prevented through a complex interplay of environmental and behavioral factors such as a personalized nutrition.

Nutrigenomics refers to the study of the effects of specific nutrients or nutraceuticals on the expression of an individual’s genetic makeup.

So it depends on the point of view that we use, internal or external. A better knowledge of both nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics is essential to design a personalised diet with positive effects on our health or athletic performance.

What is the relationship between heritable diseases and dietetic and nutrition?

If we want to talk about this issue, we should answer first to an important question: How do genetics and nutrition interact?

The existence of heritable diseases in humans may depend on particular gene variant called SNP or polymorphism and in some cases on genetic mutations that connotes a predisposition to a particular disease process. These factors determine the relationship between genetic mutations / variants and nutrition. How do nutrition and genetics affect health?

Today patients are increasingly inquiring from their healthcare providers, such as dieticians and nutritionists what kind of nutrition and dietetics best suits them according to their genetic makeup. In addition, there has been a sharp demand for online nutrigenetic tests in relation to “Heritable Diseases and Conditions” that include the most recent advances in nutrition and dietetics.

Recently we have designed our own nutrigenetic tests for health and sports based on our expertise and the demands of our students such as healthcare and sports professionals. Discover genetic testing and personalized nutrition with some of the most updated and advanced nutrigenetic tests on the market for individuals or professionals.
