Putting the Personal in Personalized Nutrition

A “one size fits all” approach to nutrition may not work for everyone. We each have unique variations in our genome, epigenome and microbiome, which interact with our external environment to affect how our bodies respond to dietary intake. Learners will exam the basic principles of nutrition, explore the foundational aspects of personalized nutrition, and analyze the research about the roles of genetics and microbiomes in our personalized nutrition journey. This course is part of the College of ACES suite of online programs, including the graduate-level certificate, "Food Regulations, Nutrition Policy, and Personalized Nutrition" that can be stacked toward an online master's degree. To learn more about online programs from the College of ACES and explore ways to apply your Coursera work toward a degree program at the University of Illinois, visit ACES Online at acesonline.illinois.edu.

When I need a course on a topic not offered by the university, Coursera is one of the best places to go and get the required course. classes are very enjoyable and the material is easy to understand.
