Nutritional Genomics Programme Overview

About the programme

Genetic testing and nutrigenomics are the future of personalised healthcare. Although DNA testing is now readily available for clinical use, Nutritional Genomics is still a new clinical tool.

The Nutritional Genomics Education Programme is a comprehensive CPD accredited e-learning experience covering the science of how our genome interacts with diet and lifestyle factors. You get a digital tutor to guide and help you to develop the confidence to apply nutritional genomics in clinical settings, whenever you want, at a speed that suits you.
.

Who should take the programme?

This CPD learning programme is designed for Health and Nutrition Professionals who want to get a foundation level of knowledge of molecular and personalised nutritional genomics.

You should take this course if you are new to DNA testing or nutrigenomics or want to ensure you are using this evolving science correctly in your practice.

What will you learn?

  1. You will understand why an individual approach in nutrition science is so important.
  2. You will understand the application of nutrigenetic testing and how to use the information.
  3. You will learn about genetic variations that contribute to an increased risk of diseases.
  4. You will learn about the role that diet and lifestyle plays in this process.

Nutritional Genomics e-Learning Courses

Molecular Genetics module – 2 hours CPD

1

This foundation module introduces the science of genetics with lessons covering the cell and nucleus, inside the nucleus, DNA packaging, genetic inheritance, the human genome and genetic variations.

Directed learning

  • Participants will understand cell biology relevant to genomics.
  • Participants will learn about DNA structure and how it contributes to inheritable traits.
  • Participants will learn how cells differentiate into specialised cell types.

Personalised Nutritional Genomics module – 2 hours CPD

2

This foundation module introduces the science of genetics with lessons covering the cell and nucleus, inside the nucleus, DNA packaging, genetic inheritance, the human genome and genetic variations.

Directed learning

  • Participants will understand why an individual approach in nutrition science is so important.
  • Participants will learn about the application of nutrigenetic testing.
  • Participants will learn about genetic variations that contribute to an increased risk of diseases and the role that nutrition and lifestyle play in this process.

Carbohydrate Behaviours module – 4 hours CPD

3

This online module introduces carbohydrates and then deep-dive into the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and functional mechanisms associated appetite regulation and blood sugar balance whether for health, weight management or for athletic performance.

Directed learning

  • As part of the learning of the nutritional genomics of carbohydrate behaviours, participants will understand both nutrigenomics and nutrigenetic impacts.
  • The course tutor teaches participants about the human genetic blueprint which has evolved to enable us to metabolise sugar and regulated appetite to ensure survival through periods of difficulty.
  • Participants will understand why our response to carbohydrates should be assessed on an individual basis, and how nutritional genomics can contribute valuable insights to this.
  • Participants will also learn about the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mechanisms and biochemical pathways associated with lactose intolerance, appetite regulation and blood sugar balance.

Lipid Metabolism module – 4 hours CPD

4

This module introduces lipid metabolism and then deep-dive into the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and functional mechanisms associated with omega 3/6 balance, saturated fat balance, cholesterol and APOE.

Directed learning

  • As part of the learning of the nutritional genomics of lipid metabolism, participants will understand both nutrigenomics and nutrigenetic impacts.
  • The course tutor teaches participants about lipids including their structure, function, transport and metabolism in the human body.
  • Participants will understand why our response to lipids should be assessed on an individual basis, and how nutritional genomics can contribute valuable insights to this.
  • Participants will also learn about the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mechanisms and biochemical pathways associated with essential fatty acids, lipoproteins and lipid metabolism and response to foods.

Clinical Application Case Study

5

The online programme finishes with a detailed patient real-life case study designed to demonstrate how health and nutrition professionals can apply the course module knowledge gained into everyday clinical practice with patients.

Directed learning

  • Gain insights into the optimal health report as an integrated system designed to analyse genetic variants and the epigenetic effect of environment.
  • Understand relevant genetic variations which can indicate nutrigenetic change of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
  • Implement the discoveries of nutritional genomics into daily practice with patients aimed at disease prevention and promotion of optimal health.
