Nutrigenomic Influence

Meaning

Nutrigenomic Influence is the scientific principle and clinical application of how specific nutrients, bioactive food compounds, and dietary patterns directly interact with and modulate an individual’s gene expression and protein synthesis. This influence is a bidirectional process: an individual’s genetic profile dictates how they metabolize nutrients, and those nutrients, in turn, act as signaling molecules to switch genes on or off. In hormonal health, understanding this influence is crucial for prescribing dietary protocols that optimize the expression of genes governing hormone synthesis, receptor sensitivity, and detoxification pathways.
