UPGRADE YOUR PRACTICE
Your patients have already embraced nutrigenomics. The question is whether their clinician can guide them.
Gene-testing kits, SNP reports and “MTHFR” advice are everywhere, and most of it is noise.
The clinicians who thrive are those who understand the biochemistry beneath the genotype, and can translate it into a confident, evidence-based prescription.
01
SNPs are not destiny
A polymorphism describes a tendency, not an outcome. Knowing which food-derived molecules modify its expression is where the clinical value lives.
02
Beyond the supplement protocol
Move past pattern-matching products to symptoms, toward reasoning from cellular mechanism to dietary and lifestyle intervention.
03
Cut through the misinformation
Be the practitioner who can separate marketing from mechanism and defend a recommendation with the underlying science.
WHAT YOU LEARN
From foundational fluency to confident clinical application.
Beyond the supplement protocol
Reason from mechanism to prescription
Apply it to real presentations
Engage the literature with confidence
Personalise with precision
Speak the language credibly
Hold an informed conversation with patients who arrive with their own genomic reports — and guide them well.
The full curriculum
Nine bytes. Two series. One continuous pathway.
Series One builds the foundation principles; Series Two applies them across topics of genuine clinical relevance. The bundle gives you both, in the order they’re meant to be learned.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Dr Christine Houghton.
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.”
