CND 721 Personalised Nutrition and Chronic Illness (2022)

Inflammation is central to most chronic illnesses. The aim of this module is for students to justify and evaluate personalised nutrition interventions including laboratory assessments for individuals with a range of chronic illness/es and co-morbidities, especially where inflammation is central to the process. Pivotal to this module are principles of psycho-neuro-immunology. This module enables students to produce and critique a Timeline for gathering and recording historic and current health history information and for establishing future goals for such individuals, for the purpose of intervening nutritionally. Deep reflection on a personalised nutrition approach to the management of chronic illness is integral to the module.
