Nutrition for Precision Health - Tailored Nutrition Study

Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. Nutrition, or the foods we eat, can help prevent and fight conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and more. However, we all live in different environments, we come from different cultures, and each of us is starting from a different place with our health. Additionally, everyone breaks down food differently. Join the Nutrition for Precision Health research study to help researchers learn how our genes, cultural backgrounds, and environments affect our bodies' responses to food. Compensation provided.
