CND 712 Personalised Nutrition Requirements (2022)

Making personalised nutrition recommendations requires: critical analysis of the strengths and limitations of existing data underpinning current government guidelines for nutrient intakes for the population. The module aims to provide students with the opportunity to analyse and interpret complex nutritional, biochemical; pathological and scientific data and to offer resolution when the data is contradictory and/or incomplete in the design of personalised nutritional plans. The module aims to provide a framework for the design of personalised nutritional plans enabling the student to justify an approach in the context of the wider nutrition industry and EU legislation; and honouring social, cultural, ethical and economical realities. The module should enable students to demonstrate a deep appreciation of the complexity underpinning the rationales for a personalised nutritional approach.
