Description

Discover the right foods for you, by measuringyour genetics, microbes, and personal glucose response tofood

THE GOAL
The Personal Nutrition Project, led by scientists from the WeizmannInstitute of Science, is a novel science-based approach tonutrition. Our goal is to administer personalized dietaryinterventions that maintain healthy blood sugar levels across humanindividuals, thus providing direct treatment for pre-diabetics,obesity, and other worldwide epidemics.

THE PROBLEM
High blood sugar levels are a risk factor for many complications,such as type II diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and also causemore weight gain. We therefore need to control our blood sugarlevels. But since different people have different responses tofood, we have to find out what our personal responses are and planwhat we eat accordingly.

THE SOLUTION
We are collecting the health status, genetics, microbes, physicalactivity, and blood glucose response to food of our studyparticipants. We then use this unique data to develop computeralgorithms that predict the personal blood glucose response of eachperson to any meal.

HOW IT WORKS

1. YOUR SUGAR FIRST: We first record your blood sugar for one fullweek to find out your personal response to a variety of differentfoods.

2. LOG YOUR ACTIVITIES: To find out what affects your blood sugarduring your sugar recording week, you will log your food intake,sleep patterns, exercises, and other weekly activities using thisApp

3. YOUR PERSONAL FOOD RESPONSES: You will receive personalpredictions of your response to many foods, and see your responseto foods that you ate and to other logged events such as sleep andexercise.

4. YOUR GENETIC MAKEUP: We will profile your DNA, and tell you howyour personal genome sequence may affect your response tofood

5. YOUR PERSONAL MICROBES: We will also measure the composition ofthe 100 trillion microbes that reside in your gut. These microbesaffects your health, well-being, and your response to food.

6. PLAN YOUR DIET: Using our automated diet planner, you will beable to construct a personal diet that meets key nutritionalrequirements for vitamins and minerals while matching your foodpreferences, personal food response, genetic makeup, and microbialcomposition.
