Precision nutrition??? Also referred to as personalized nutrition... Focuses on the individual rather than groups of people This is idea that nutrition advice can be tailored to improve health and prevent/treat chronic diseases based on a person’s unique characteristics like DNA, microbiome, race, gender, health history, lifestyle habits and more. Precision nutrition suggests that each person will have a different response to specific foods and nutrients. So that the best diet for one individual may look very different than the best diet for another. A brand new paper reports that the hype regarding precision nutrition exceeds the evidence - at least currently. 'Precision Nutrition: The Hype Is Exceeding the Science and Evidentiary Standards Needed to Inform Public Health Recommendations for Prevention of Chronic Disease' From Regan Bailey and Patrick Stover Published in the journal: Annual Review of Nutrition For now, I'm sticking with lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes etc. until the science supports a more tailored approach....

It's great that precision nutrition seeks to customize dietary advice for individuals based on their unique characteristics. Glad to see that more and more the concept of “one fits all” is staying behind. However, as this paper highlights, the hype might be outpacing the evidence at the moment. I think that individualization of nutrition advice is still pivotal in patient’s success at making lasting and effective lifestyle changes. Integrating culturally sensitive dietary changes into the precision nutrition approach can lead to more sustainable and consistent implementation of dietary modifications. Understanding the unique cultural and lifestyle factors that influence food choices is crucial for long-term success. While we navigate the evolving landscape of precision nutrition, honoring diverse traditions can play a vital role in promoting health and wellness. 🌍🍽️ 🥦🍏📚 #PrecisionNutrition #PersonalizedHealth #EvidenceBasedNutrition #CulturalDiversity #SustainableChange

I'm really interested to see your stance on this, Dr. Conor Kerley. I am by no means an expert in health/fitness/nutrition but it really interests me. I see/hear a lot of people saying that X rule doesn't apply to them because of X. I get that there are differences in age, health, gender, upbringing, etc. - but I'm always thinking that we are all human, so the same rules must apply to most.
