A major clinical takeaway from this recent nutritional research is that each patient is unique in how they respond to nutrients and how nutrients impact their genes, and an individual patient may not respond in the same way to a particular therapeutic food plan in the same way as other patients, or even in the same way at different times in their lives. This suggests that, if possible, all the available data may be valuable for a clinician when recommending a personalized dietary plan for each patient. It also suggests that a treatment strategy may need to be adjusted if the patient does not respond to it, or if their response to the dietary plan changes.
