We are entering a new age of treating chronic illness and disease, moving away from the one-size-fits all approach to one focused on individual nutritional needs. With the advent of genetic testing, which provides valuable data on gene polymorphisms, genetic mutations and epigenetic markers, integrative medicine and nutrition practitioners now have a powerful toolbox available to them in helping to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their patient’s genetic make-up. And as exposure to dangerous environmental and emotional toxins increases, we are at even greater risk of altering our genome in ways that necessitate nutritional treatments specific to the individual.

This presentation highlights the emerging field of personalized nutrition and offer practitioners important information on the role of toxins in modifying gene expression thus causing nutritional deficiencies, physiological imbalances and disease. Practitioners will learn nutritional therapies to assist detoxification pathways, methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation and glutathione production.
