The Institute for Nutrigenomic Medicine was founded in response to an urgent need for graduate education programmes on the practical application of the principles of Nutrigenomics within a clinical environment.
The Institute’s programmes focus on the most essential elements of what is otherwise a complex sub-specialty of Nutrition Science, simplified by utilising a streamlined approach to learning.
Named for its conversational tone and format, the Conversations in Nutrigenomic Medicine series has been divided into 3 parts:
The Conversations Series prospectus and enrolments, can be found at our sister educational facility: The Institute for Nutrigenomic Medicine.
Series One:Â Foundations in Nutrigenomics encompasses 3 bytes. Each of the 3 bytes delivers the key foundation principles, together with a guided research paper to support the concepts covered. A short assessment completes the byte.
Byte #1: Unravelling Nutrigenomic Medicine
Byte #2: Switches & Signals that Lead to Homeostasis
Byte #3: Nutrigenomics – Linking the Gut Ecosystem
Series Two: Applications of Nutrigenomics offers 6 bytes, each focused on a topic of clinical relevance based on and utilising the Series One foundation principles. As with Series One, Series Two and each subsequent Conversation will include a guided supporting research paper with a short assessment to complete the byte.
Byte #1: Tight Junction Dynamics
Byte #2: Comparing Polyphenols
Byte #3: The Clinical Nuts and Bolts of Glutathione
Byte #4: The Sulphur Conundrum
Byte #5: What Nutrigenomic Medicine Teaches us About Immunity
Byte #6: Quinone Reductase
Series Three: Clinical Applications in Common Conditions applies the knowledge obtained in Series One and Two across three common clinical conditions.
Byte 1: Unravelling Iron Science for Better Outcomes details how disordered iron metabolism can be corrected in the context of nutrigenomic principles, thereby providing readily applied long-lasting clinical benefit.
Byte 2: The Nuances of Thyroid Dysfunction examines the processes and the mechanisms contributing to various thyroid abnormalities, highlighting nutrigenomic pathways that can be readily implemented to restore normal thyroid function, regardless of the specific nature of the abnormality.
Byte 3: Upstream Influences on Fertility discusses the relevant mechanisms and then examines the modifiable factors a clinician can employ to fine-tune the cellular pathways impacting fertility in both the male and the female.
Importantly, the nature of common preconception and pregnancy supplements is highlighted to illustrate the flaws evident in common options.Â
