UPGRADE YOUR PRACTICE

Turn complex patient presentations into clinical opportunities

Through expert-led conversations, guided research, and practical clinical insights, you’ll learn evidence-based strategies to uncover root causes and apply personalised interventions with greater confidence.

Best taken after Series 1 & 2: Foundations & Applications, or by clinicians already
confident with core Nutrigenomic principles.

01

Understand Complex Clinical Cases

Gain a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms behind iron dysregulation, thyroid dysfunction, and fertility challenges through a nutrigenomic lens.

02

Apply Evidence-Based Nutrigenomic Strategies

Translate current research into practical clinical approaches that help identify root causes and support personalised patient care.

03

Build Confidence in Clinical Decision-Making

Strengthen your ability to assess, interpret, and apply nutrigenomic principles to real-world patient presentations with greater confidence.

WHAT YOU LEARN

Bridge the gap between Nutrigenomic theory and better patient outcomes

Master the science of iron regulation

Develop a deeper understanding of iron metabolism and discover why conventional supplementation approaches may not always address the underlying cause of iron dysregulation.

Understand thyroid dysfunction beyond the basics

Explore the complex biological pathways involved in thyroid health, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and nutrient-dependent cellular processes.

Investigate the root causes of fertility challenges

Learn how nutrigenomic factors influence reproductive health and gain insights into the mechanisms affecting fertility outcomes in both men and women.

Adopt a more root-cause clinical approach

Move beyond symptom management by identifying the upstream drivers of dysfunction and applying a systems-based framework to patient care.

Strengthen your research interpretation skills

Build confidence in evaluating scientific literature through guided research papers that connect emerging evidence with clinical practice.

Apply nutrigenomics with greater clinical confidence

Translate complex nutrigenomic concepts into practical strategies that can be immediately integrated into patient consultations and treatment plans.

The full curriculum

Three Clinical Topics. One Deeper Understanding.

Conversations with Dr Christine Houghton

01

Unravelling Iron Science for Better Outcomes
Dr Christine Houghton • Robert Thomas

What’s covered

Medical management of iron deficiency – why it so often fails
Long-known but seldom-implemented mechanisms to explain why iron deficiency is common
How understanding these mechanisms is essential for effective treatment
Analysing the available iron supplements in light of these mechanisms
The role of nutrigenomics in restoring iron metabolism to normal

02

The Nuances of Thyroid Function
Dr Christine Houghton • Matt Lim

What’s covered

The growing prevalence of thyroid disorders, especially autoimmune forms
A peculiar quirk of thyroid biochemistry that exacerbates thyroid conditions if not properly managed
The unexpected role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal thyroid function
How upstream nutrigenomic processes can be employed to correct all forms of thyroid disorder, regardless of type

03

Upstream Influences on Fertility
Dr Christine Houghton • Margeaux Higgins

What’s covered

Highlighting statistically-significant decline in male and female fertility globally
The many factors contributing to infertility
Examining the role and challenges of Assisted Reproductive Technology (A.R.T.), often described as In Vitro Fertilisation
Examining the most relevant modifiable risk factors to address the issue in both male and female biochemistry
A critical evaluation of the available pre-conception and pregnancy supplements in light of the underpinning mechanisms

Foundations in Nutrigenomics

PhD · Nutritional Biochemist · Founder,  Institute for Nutrigenomic Medicine

A clinician, researcher and educator, Dr Houghton has spent decades translating the molecular science of nutrigenomics into something a practitioner can use on a Monday morning. Her work focuses on the cellular pathways through which food-derived molecules influence gene expression.

The Conversations Series distils that complex sub-specialty into a streamlined, conversational format — designed in response to an urgent need for genuine graduate-level education on applying nutrigenomic principles in a clinical environment.

“While gene testing reveals SNP patterns, the real power lies in understanding the biochemical processes that drive gene expression.”

QUESTIONS

Good to know before you enrol

How is the course delivered?

The program is delivered through conversational learning bytes (short learning units), featuring discussions with nutrigenomics experts, guided research papers, online learning materials, and assessments to reinforce key concepts.

Do I need prior knowledge of nutrigenomics to enrol?

No. This bundle is the foundational course in the Conversations in Nutrigenomic Medicine program and is designed to build a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts before progressing to more advanced clinical applications.

Who is this course designed for?

This course is designed for healthcare practitioners, nutrition professionals, and clinicians who want to deepen their understanding of nutrigenomics and apply evidence-based nutritional strategies in clinical practice.
