Translating Nutrigenomics Into Practice: Opportunities, Limitations, and Ethical Considerations for RDNs

Your Price $0.00 - $54.00

As nutrigenomics continues to gain visibility in both consumer wellness and clinical care, RDNs are increasingly expected to interpret and apply genetic information to guide nutrition recommendations. This session will focus on the responsible integration of nutrigenomics within personalized nutrition, emphasizing what is evidence based, what remains experimental and how to navigate the ethical complexities surrounding genetic data.

Content will review core genetic pathways relevant to nutrition, gene–diet interactions with emerging clinical utility, and common misinterpretations found in direct-to-consumer reports. Speakers will highlight real-world case scenarios showing how to apply genetic insights appropriately while maintaining client safety, privacy and realistic expectations.

This session will also address equity considerations, including access barriers, algorithmic bias within genetic tools, and how to support clients who may be genetically vulnerable or who express concerns about data use and long-term storage. Participants will leave with practical frameworks to evaluate nutrigenomics tests, communicate limitations clearly and integrate genetic insights alongside traditional assessment methods.
