Our next free webinar is Nutrigenetics and the rhythms of life : understanding how your genes shape every cycle, season and stage of life
Life moves in rhythms — and so do our hormones. In this course, we explore how genetic variation shapes the way each person responds to, and regulates, the hormonal cycles that govern health across a lifetime.

Agenda
Life moves in rhythms — and so do our hormones. In this course, we explore how genetic variation shapes the way each person responds to, and regulates, the hormonal cycles that govern health across a lifetime. Drawing on the latest in nutrigenetics, Nutrigenetics and the Rhythms of Life examines four interconnected rhythms: the circadian interplay of cortisol and melatonin, the monthly ebb and flow of oestrogen and progesterone, the seasonal cycle of vitamin D and light, and the profound hormonal shifts that mark life’s key transitions — puberty, pregnancy and the postnatal period, perimenopause and menopause.
Agenda:
- How genes and environment interact to entrain and train:
- Circadian rhythms – the daily interplay of cortisol and melatonin
- Monthly rhythms – the ebb and flow of oestrogen and progesterone
- Seasonal rhythms – vitamin D and its light-dependent cycle
- Life rhythms – hormonal shifts across puberty, pregnancy and the postnatal period, perimenopause and menopause
- How receptor genes enable us to adapt to changing conditions through time, and the power of nutrigenetics to examine this
Who is this course suitable for?
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a student, or simply passionate about nutrition, our free webinars are open to everyone and a space to learn, ask questions, and hear from experts in the field.
