Description: Precision nutrition seeks to optimize metabolic response in individuals or population subgroups through personalized dietary approaches to promote health, and prevent and treat disease. Advances in artificial intelligence, deep-learning techniques and data analytical technologies now provide enormous computational power, that when applied to large scale datasets (including but not limited to dietary habits, genetic background, health status, microbiome, metabolism, food environment, physical activity, socioeconomics, psychosocial characteristics, and environmental exposures), promise to generate more precise individualized dietary recommendations and algorithms. How can this end goal be reached given the state of existing knowledge including challenges that need to be overcome? Join experts as they explore possible answers to this question.

This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and the Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORC).

Learning Objective: Understand the evidence-based science regarding neuroendocrine, endocrine, microbiota and cognitive mechanisms regulating energy balance and body weight. Apply that knowledge to develop and implement treatment options for adults and pediatric patients with overweight, obesity or obesity-related co-morbidities.
