Genetic Inheritance and Personalised Nutrition Across Generations with Dr Harpal Bains.

The case study will explore the intersection of genetics,  nutrition, and health through a comparative analysis of mothers and  daughters Lifecode Gx reports. By examining specific genetic variants  that influence bone metabolism, hormones and behaviour, we will reveal  how inherited traits shape personalised nutrition needs across generations.

We will explore shared and divergent genetic variants  –  including VDR (vitamin D receptor), LCT (lactose tolerance), and oestrogen metabolism, that influence osteoporosis risk – alongside  behavioural predispositions linked to neurotransmitter function. 

Through  this mother-daughter comparison, attendees will discover how  nutrigenomics provides actionable insights for targeted dietary  interventions, moving beyond one-size-fits-all recommendations to truly  personalised nutrition strategies informed by genetic inheritance patterns.
