Hello and

today we're talking about Neutriondiva podcast.

I'm your host Monica Reinagel and today we're talking about

Nutrigenomics.

What our genes can tell us about which dietary

pattern would be best for us. And later on I'll also have another kitchen hack

from Hungry Girl Lisa Lillian. Nutrition Diva listener Brad writes,

you did an episode on DNA-based diets in 2012.

That was episode number 203.

And I know the genetics field has changed very quickly and I was hopeful that you could revisit this subject.

Some of the companies who do this testing also sell specific supplements based on your results, which seems a little suspicious.

So what is the state of the art?

And then another listener named Diz wrote, I keep seeing these DNA testing companies

on social media.

They claim to have studies on their website supporting

their results. I haven't actually done the test, but I read a sample report and it seemed like

the recommendations, like eat a high fiber diet, or just common sense and would apply to everyone.

Can you hang your hat on these tests?

Well as it happens just this week, researchers reported new findings at the annual meeting of the American

Society of Nutrition, which I think you're going to find quite interesting.

Since the sequencing of the human genome, there's been a lot of interest in

nutrogenomics. It's long been clear that we don't all respond the same way
