CPD VOD | Nutrigenomics: A Simplified Approach

This course...

Is: As an online on-demand-video from a live course

Is for: Nutritional therapy practitioners, nutritionists, dieticians, naturopaths, other health care providers and final year nutrition students interested in applying functional medicine approaches to health and well-being (i.e. exploring how nutrients, other foods and lifestyle factors influence the function of the body and how to apply findings in a person–centred manner that recognises individuals’ unique differences)

Is led by: Anne Pemberton

Spans: 5 hours recording time

Provides:BANT CPD 5 hours, NNA CPD 5 hours

This course will simplify the use and understanding of nutrigenomics practice. It aims to achieve that by taking you on a journey from your choice of nutrigenomics and appropriate functional testing to confirm expression and the reason for such expression. It will then take you systematically through the key pathways highlighting potential areas of concern and the optimum way of addressing imbalances in those pathways. A case study will be used in the final session to give attendees the opportunity to practice a nutrigenomic case analysis.

Specifically, this course will help attendees understand key conditions and situations that underpin gene expression. It will then talk attendees through pathways and specific genes that have the potential to negatively impact health.

In particular, it will help attendees understand the genes related to:

- Gut function / methylation / food intolerance / gut microbiome and the cycles associated with these.
- The Sulphation cycle, Biopterin cycle and hormones.
- The Folate and methionine cycles.

The course will define and help the attendee to understand the purpose of each pathway and how the pathway intersect and support each other, alongside providing the causes of gene expression and impact of gene expression.

It will also provide the opportunity to understand key conditions and situations that underpin gene expression. It will then talk attendees through pathways and specific genes that have the potential to negatively impact health.

Finally it will, consider simple approaches to address health challenges through a nutrigenomic approach and will also discuss the marketing aspect and costing for the service.

Examples of the questions it will answer

- Which pathways can be problematic for the practitioner and how do we address those pathways safely?
- Which conditions may underpin methylation defects / gene expression?
- What are the specifics I need to know to allow me to offer something over and above the normal offering?

About the presenter:

Anne Pemberton MSc, PGCHE, PGCE(Autism), RGN, DipION, fHEA, mCNHC, fBANT, NMC

Anne is the author of the book Using Nutrigenomics within personalized nutrition, published by singing dragon. This book forms the basis of the course. Anne’s career spans 25 years as a specialist cardio-thoracic intensive care nurse, 6 years in applied psychology, 17 years as a functional medicine practitioner, including the teaching of nutrition and lifestyle medicine. From 2010-2017 Anne ran and developed a MSc in Nutrition science and practice at the Northern College of Acupuncture. She is a regular contributor to IHCAN magazine and a regular conference speaker.

Anne was blessed with a son, later diagnosed with autism. Her son’s diagnosis totally changed her career trajectory as she looked to natural therapies to support him and found herself. In 2017 Anne had her own health challenges resulting in her 4th near death experience which changed her practice once again. She now incorporates the 5-Levels of healing model into functional medicine. Since 2011 Anne has had a real passion for the study and practical application of Nutrigenomics, she co-developed the first NTEC accredited UK course Functional medicine approach to Nutrigenomics.

Currently Anne practices as a medical intuitive working alongside a functional consciousness coach to provide a fully integrated mind-body-spirit approach to optimal health.
