Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are using investigational drugs, you must stop at least 1 month before and for 4 months after the trial starts.

What data supports the effectiveness of the Viome Nutritional Programs for Mental Health Conditions treatment?

Research shows that nutrition interventions, including supplements and dietary changes, can have positive effects on mental health conditions like depression and schizophrenia. Many studies report significant improvements when using essential fatty acids, vitamins, or minerals, suggesting that personalized nutrition programs like Viome's could be beneficial.12345

Is the Viome Nutritional Program safe for humans?

The Viome Nutritional Program, evaluated as a personalized systems nutrition program, has been shown to improve lifestyle habits and reduce body weight and other health-related outcomes in a study with healthy participants, suggesting it is generally safe for human use.678910

How is the Viome Precision Nutrition Program different from other treatments for mental health conditions?

The Viome Precision Nutrition Program is unique because it focuses on personalized nutrition recommendations to support mental health, unlike traditional treatments that often rely on medications. This approach considers the role of diet and specific nutrients, such as Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, in improving mental well-being, which is a growing area of interest in psychiatric care.1231112

What is the purpose of this trial?

US residents who have mental health issues sign the informed consent form and are screened and enrolled for this study. Participants who are enrolled complete a survey upon enrollment and are randomized into one of three arms. This study is direct to participant and will NOT utilize clinical sites.

Findings from Research

This study will investigate whether personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on individual genotypes can lead to greater weight loss and reductions in BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percentage among 62 overweight and obese adults over a 12-month period.
The trial will be the first to implement a gene-based intervention with intensive counseling followed by a free-living simulation, aiming to provide evidence for the effectiveness of precision nutrition in weight management.

Nutrigenetics aims to personalize dietary recommendations based on individual genotypes, but current research shows conflicting results, particularly regarding the impact of specific gene variants on health outcomes.
To effectively use nutrigenetics in public health, there is a need for advanced mathematical and bioinformatic approaches to analyze the combined effects of multiple gene variants and dietary interactions, rather than focusing on single genes and isolated dietary components.
Nutrigenetics and personalised nutrition: how far have we progressed and are we likely to get there?Rimbach, G., Minihane, AM.[2016]
Precision nutrition research highlights that individual responses to diets can vary significantly due to interactions between dietary factors and personal genetic makeups, which has implications for health outcomes like obesity and weight loss.
Emerging studies suggest that a comprehensive multiomics approach, including factors like the gut microbiome and biological rhythms, could enhance the prediction of how individuals respond to different diets, paving the way for personalized dietary recommendations.
