NUTR 582: Personalized Nutrition

Course Description

A “one size fits all” approach to nutrition may not work for everyone. We each have unique variations in our genome, epigenome and microbiome, which interact with our external environment to affect how our bodies respond to dietary intake. Students will learn how our unique biological make-up can be a way to establish more personalized approaches to diet, new approaches to analyzing personalized nutrition data, and what direct-to-consumer personalize nutrition products and services are available. 4 graduate hours. No professional credit. Prerequisite: Restricted to graduate students.
