Beyond the algorithm - the complexity of personalised nutrition
Is personalised nutrition about hitting the perfect bullseye with algorithmic precision, or is it actually more like a game of beach ball - bouncing insights back and forth between company and consumer?
Despite two decades of DNA analysis, continuous glucose monitors, and proprietary algorithms, most personalised nutrition advice still boils down to "eat salmon, broccoli, and brown rice" - recommendations people are already following.
In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our event in Rotterdam in September 2025, our panel of experts argues that the future of personalised nutrition must shift from linear expert advice to interactive learning relationships.
They discuss the gap what the industry recommends and what consumers can actually use in daily life, the role of microbiota, and personalised fibre recommendations.
