Personalized Nutrition Project

Discover the right foods for you, by measuring your genetics, microbes, and personal glucose response to foodTHE GOALThe Personal Nutrition Project, led by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science, is a novel science-based approach to nutrition. Our goal is to administer personalized dietary interventions that maintain healthy blood sugar levels across human individuals, thus providing direct treatment for pre-diabetics, obesity, and other worldwide epidemics.THE PROBLEMHigh blood sugar levels are a risk factor for many complications, such as type II diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and also cause more weight gain. We therefore need to control our blood sugar levels. But since different people have different responses to food, we have to find out what our personal responses are and plan what we eat accordingly.THE SOLUTIONWe are collecting the health status, genetics, microbes, physical activity, and blood glucose response to food of our study participants. We then use thi更多
