Recently, I took my first nutritional genetics test through Nutrigenomix in Canada. I’d been toying with the idea of getting tested for a while but finally, bit the bullet after taking a 5-week course on nutritional genetics through Monash University in Melbourne. Here’s what I learned about myself &#;

My first encounter with nutritional genetics was in at the International Congress of Dietetics in Sydney. Back then only a handful of researchers and super-sleuth dietitians knew what nutritional genetics was. I remember listening to a lecture given by Sylvia Escott-Stump, former President of the Nutrition and Dietetics Academy, and thinking to myself ‘This is cool.’.

Since then there has been tons of progress in the field but nutritional genetics still remains relatively new in nutrition practice. It’s a hot topic of conversation amongst dietitians in other countries (like Australia and Canada) however there’s less chatter about it in the US. Yes, it&#;s complicated but there&#;s a growing body of evidence to suggest that nutritional genetic testing provides valuable insight. 

Now, onto the juicy stuff. What did I learn?
