Manage, with this program, the single nucleotide polymorphisms that predispose to the development of pathologies such as Type II Diabetes or Atherosclerosis"

Bad eating habits and sedentary lifestyles, which have been widespread in today's society for several decades due to living and working conditions, are the cause of numerous diseases. Some, such as Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension or Type II Diabetes, are caused by an incorrect diet, favoring their adoption in people who have a high genetic predisposition to suffer from them. In this context, it is becoming more and more common in the field of medicine to draw up nutritional plans based on the genetic characteristics of each person to optimize the prevention of these pathologies. Therefore, physicians must be highly skilled in this field of Nutrigenetics to preserve the health of their patients.

For this reason, TECH has designed this academic program, through which the student will significantly increase their knowledge in nutrition-related diseases, delving into the genetic factors that favor their development in order to anticipate them through a diet adapted to the DNA. Throughout this academic pathway, they will determine the SNPs that predispose to the development of complex nutrition-related diseases, or adopt the most effective strategies to minimize the risk of suffering from arteriosclerosis through appropriate nutritional plans. Additionally, the student will analyze the most updated studies in Nutrigenetics to face the future challenges of this discipline.

Since this program is taught through a 100% online methodology, students will be able to manage their own time to achieve effective learning. In the same way, they will have access to extensive and completely new didactic materials available in formats such as the explanatory video or the interactive summary, giving them the ability to tailor their teaching to their own academic needs.

Design dietary plans adapted to the genetic particularities of each patient to prevent diseases such as hyperlipidemia or hypertension"
