Nutrigenomics: Do our genes determine what we should eat? Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy Canada Research Chair in Nutrigenomics Chief Scientific Officer Department of Nutritional Sciences University of Toronto Nutrigenomix Inc.

I have the gene, so I eat healthily. I have the gene, so what can I do? Disease Risk Genes vs Metabolic/Modifier Genes DNA-based dietary advice resulted in: greater understanding of recommendations greater interest in learning more greater motivation to change eating habits Improved dietary outcomes DNA-based dietary advice is superior to the one-size-fits-all general recommendations Why go through a HCP? Explains benefits and limitations of the test. Addresses concerns of a genetic test. Accountability to HCP. Ancillary testing options. Better understanding of instructions. Partners How Nutrigenomix® Works Personalized report reviewed by healthcare practitioner Gluten Test 7-Gene Test 45-Gene Test **New 45-Gene Test Covering these 7 aspects of health: Sample Report Sample Report Loss of fat mass (%) after 2 years of low or high protein diet by FTO genotype * Significantly greater weight loss (fat mass) in response to a moderate-to-high protein diet only in individuals with the AA genotype. Adapted from Zhang et al. Diab. 2012;61:3005-3011. Is DNA-based Dietary Advice Ready for Prime Time? • Scientific evidence is robust (studies replicated) • Increasing consumer awareness and demand • Information is actionable and “personalized” • Focus on wellness/prevention, not disease treatment • Improved compliance (evidence from RCT) • Within the scope of practice for healthcare professionals ~1/3 of consumers will focus on personalized nutrition “…making day-to-day decisions about what to eat based on their particular genetic makeup.” Genotype “Positive health requires a knowledge of man’s primary constitution and of the powers of various foods, both those natural to them and those resulting from human skill.” Personalized Nutrition - Hippocrates (480 BC)
