You should leave the course with a greater understanding out the impact of genetics on nutritional requirements, and you should feel more confident in answering common nutrition and gene related questions.

The course was excellent. Although, I thought will be more about biology and nutrients. Now, i think that is more important the ethical point and also if the knowledge we have at the moment will change people's life.
If someone wants to put this knowledge in his/her practice can search more and learn. Chiara Murgia I hope to learn more from you. Great job.

I gained more in term of the basic knowledge and some positive and negative impact on the application of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics.
Never Stop Learning!
