Session 3: The power of nutrigenomics to personalise dietary prescriptions
Speaker: Dr Christine Houghton
Join Dr Christine Houghton as she explores nutrigenomics and shows how nutrition professionals can personalise care. While gene testing reveals SNP patterns, the real power lies in understanding the biochemical processes that drive gene expression. Discover how to leverage genetic strengths and weaknesses to address key health concerns. This insightful session will equip you with practical strategies to optimise client outcomes using evidence-based nutrigenomic principles.
