Eat4Genes

Almost half of the world’s population has one or more chronic diseases with resultant pain and suffering as well as the vast majority of health care spending. Drug treatments are often expensive and can include a wide range of side- and long termeffects. Alternative approaches such as diet that reduce cost and improve health thus have major potential value in health care.

Eat4genes is a dietary recommendation guide for patients and providers to aid in the selection of healthy diet to help treat and prevent numerous pathologies and conditions. It is based on the evaluation of clinically-relevant gene expression in response to healthy diet with an emphasis on whole foods.

This online platform app will identify foods that modulate disease and condition risk genes (and other genes) of interest as well as parallel protein and enzyme expression, pathways, relevant epidemiological studies, and basic dietary information.

Our approach is focused on the strategic use of diet to regulate key risk gene expression, which we call “dietary rational gene targeting”. These studies involve assessing the use of healthy diet to alter disease-causing gene expression back toward the normal to treat various diseases and conditions. Compared with pharmaceutical drugs, our approach is low-cost and healthy, and ultimately emphasizes precision nutrition in the form of personalized confirmation of our suggested diet.
