About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in Nutrigenomics and Mental Wellbeing. She's here to tell us about a new course she's involved in, the Postgraduate Certificate in Nutrigenomics and Mental Wellbeing. Dr. Smith, can you start by telling us a bit about this exciting new field? GUEST: Absolutely, Nutrigenomics is a rapidly growing area that studies how nutrients can affect our genes and thus our health outcomes, particularly in relation to mental wellbeing. It's transforming how we approach mental health care. HOST: That sounds fascinating. And who is this course aimed at? GUEST: It's designed for healthcare professionals, nutritionists, and psychologists who want to enhance their understanding of personalized dietary approaches. We believe it will be particularly useful for those working in mental health. HOST: I see. Given your experience, what do you think are some of the current trends in this field? GUEST: There's a lot of interest right now in gene-diet interactions and their impact on various mood disorders, anxiety, and cognitive function. Personalized dietary counseling is another hot topic. HOST: Yes, I can imagine. There must be challenges though, when it comes to interpreting genetic tests and applying this knowledge in a clinical setting? GUEST: Indeed, it requires a good understanding of both nutrition and genetics. That's why this course also covers advanced research methods to ensure participants have the necessary skills to interpret and apply this complex information. HOST: That sounds comprehensive. Looking forward, where do you see the future of Nutrigenomics heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more integration of nutrigenomics into mainstream healthcare, leading to improved patient outcomes. There's also potential for nutrigenomics to play a role in preventative healthcare. HOST: It's clear that this course is at the forefront of these developments. Thank you so much for joining us today, Dr. Smith.
