The power of DNA in our nutrition (with GENIE)

Welcome to the Digital Food Podcast!

Let's look at how data shapes our food.

Our mission? To explore how digital technologies are revolutionizing the food industry and empower you to make informed choices in this digital age.

🎙 Episode 7 of this podcast dives into genetics!

More precisely, the improvement of your shopping experience thanks to ultra-personalized dietary advice.

My guests are Jean-Pierre Lannou and Marina Riera, part of the GENIE project.

Those advices are based on consumer preferences but more importantly on genetic, microbiota, and biochemical blood tests.

Let’s dive together into genetic nutrition, the importance of your data and Marina and Jean-Pierre’s personal stories about genetic testing experiences.
