What is the best nutrition for you? - Precision nutrition opens up the future of personal health

Dietary methods, supplements, and exercise are all considered to be "good for health," but they are not necessarily "optimal" for everyone.Precision NutritionBased on this premise, is cutting-edge applied science that pursues "the optimal nutritional intervention for each individual."

What is Precision Nutrition?

Precision Nutrition (PN)is an approach that designs and implements the most effective nutritional interventions based on an individual's biological characteristics, living environment, and genetic information.

We move away from the traditional "one-size-fits-all nutritional advice" and provide individually optimized suggestions based on multi-layered data such as:

  • Genetics and epigenetics
  • Intestinal environment (microbiome)
  • Biomarkers in blood, urine, saliva, etc.
  • Lifestyle, psychological state, and social background
  • Tracking daily activities with wearable devices

This information can be analyzed using AI and machine learning, making it possible to provide real-time dietary and nutritional advice tailored to the "condition of the day.""Just-in-time Nutrition"This is called.


Perspectives that Precision Nutrition Values

  • Respect for individual differences: Even with the same food, the processes of digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion vary from person to person.
  • Integrating environmental and social contexts: Diet is deeply connected to culture, habits and economic status, which are also part of precision nutrition.
  • The human body as a dynamic system: The nutrients we need change depending on age, stress, season, hormones, and sleep status.
  • Prediction and optimization: Real-time data collection makes it possible to predict future health risks and necessary interventions.

How is it different from molecular nutrition?

Molecular Nutritionis the study of how nutrients work at a molecular level and their relationship with cells, genes and enzymes.

On the other hand, precision nutrition is based on this knowledge.How do we apply it to each individual?We focus on:

for example:

  • Molecular Nutrition: "Vitamin D binds to receptors on immune cells and has an immunomodulatory effect."
  • Precision Nutrition: "Because you have a mutation in the VDR gene, you will not see any results unless you take large amounts of vitamin D supplements."

In this way, precision nutrition is a more "real-world" science that can be applied to daily diet, supplements, and lifestyle guidance.


Precision Nutrition in Action

  • Prevention of cancer and lifestyle-related diseases: Dietary intervention tailored to individual metabolic characteristics
  • Improvement of chronic fatigue and vague symptoms: Visualization of intestinal environment and mineral balance
  • Hormone Balancing for Women: Nutritional Advice Based on Menstrual Cycle and Hormonal Testing
  • Supporting child development: Optimizing nutrients linked to ADHD and learning disabilities

Future outlook

  • Towards a central area of personalized healthcare
  • Developing alongside the evolution of AI and DNA analysis technology
  • Expanding insurance coverage and introducing it into preventive programs in local governments

summary

Precision nutrition is"Science" + "Technology" + "Humanity"This is a health science that combines these two concepts and is necessary for the future.

Your body is yours alone"operating instructions"The role of precision nutrition is to decipher this "instruction manual."

In this age of information overload, why not find something that truly suits you?

For those who want to learn more about the essence of "precision nutrition" learned from their master

The person who had the greatest impact on me in practicing precision nutrition was Mr. Motoyuki Tanaka Professor Tanaka actually attends the American Society for Precision Nutrition and generously shares the latest knowledge from around the world with me. He is also my mentor.

This knowledge is also being put to good use in the nutritional counseling provided at the Jingumae Integrated Medical Clinic where I currently work, and has been well received by many patients.

Precision nutrition is a new field that is not yet well known in Japan, and we want more people to know about it. To that end, please read the following books.
