Why Nutrigenomics Matters
For decades, skin health has been approached from the outside.Topical products, Devices and Injectables
Yet modern biology shows that the processes driving skin ageing, inflammation and repair begin much deeper. At the level of gene expression.
Nutrigenomics is the science that studies how nutrients interact with our genes, influencing whether certain genes are activated or silenced . In other words, food is not just nourishment. It is biological communication with DNA.

THE EMERGENCE OF NUTRIGENOMICS AS A SCIENCE OFFERS POSSIBILITIES TO BETTER DEFINE SPECIFIC DIETARY NEEDS AND THE EFFECT OF FOOD AND FOOD COMPONENTS ON GENE EXPRESSION

Why Does This Matter for Health and Beauty Professionals?
Whether you work in nutrition, functional medicine or aesthetics, your clients present with outcomes that are driven by gene expression:
If you understand how genes are regulated, you can learn to adjust epigenetic expression to help your clients slow-down (and even reverse) skin-ageing as well as target skin disorders such as Eczema
