This is figure 3, which shows paths toward optimal health through precision nutrition.
A Review in Nature Medicine examines the evidence base in precision nutrition research, discusses the challenges in translating short-term studies into long-term clinical effectiveness and highlights the many opportunities that lie ahead. go.nature.com/3EJPF8X ๐
Greatly appreciate the shout out, @erictopol.bsky.social! Greetings from Copenhagen.
Conclusion: Enabled by sensors, rapid and affordable molecular analysis of accessible samples, and digital technology, precision nutrition.... ultimately empowering individuals to make sustainable dietary choices that adapt to their evolving food environments, social contexts and life circumstances.
Closing the week with exciting news! Our latest work, a review on #PrecisionNutrition for cardiometabolic diseases, has been published in @naturemedicine.bsky.social ๐

Grateful to Novo Nordisk Foundation, Danmarks Grundforskningsfond, and the University of Copenhagen for backing this vision. ๐
The next chapter of precision cardiometabolic health starts here. Stay tuned.
From long winter days to sunlit breakthroughs in a small office, every challenge became an opportunity to innovate. Today, DELPHI stands as a fully digital, participant-first cohort built on simplicity, scalability, and precision.
Inspired by my past work with the NIHโs Nutrition for Precision Health & the PREDICT study, DELPHI began as a dream, and came to life through a brilliant collaboration with #RuthLoos and an incredible team in Denmark (#KarinaHusted & #KristofferBurgdorf and many more).
What does it take to launch a precision health study? A bold vision, an exceptional team, a supportive ecosystem, and perseverance!
We are proud to introduce the Danish Precision Health Initiative: a resource built to drive precision cardiometabolic health research for years to come. delphi.ku.dk
