Educating
For Change.
Translating Research into Action
The Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition has been constantly evolving since our humble beginnings in 2016. What has not changed however is the core belief that, regardless of if you are a medical practitioner or patient, you have a right to access the most up-to-date, scientifically backed information. Over the years we have created various forums to provide both public and professional audiences alike the most recent type 2 diabetes research including: accredited Webinars (2017-2024), an Annual Therapeutic Nutrition Conference (2020-2023), accredited Training Courses and the At the Helm podcast series.
IPTN has also produced on several highly impactful documents and publications like the Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction in Type 1 Diabetes guide and Remission Possible: The Science & Strategies to Improve Blood Sugar.
Alongside our own publications, we have created a trusted database of research articles to help medical professionals find trusted sources of high-quality information relating to a wide range of topics within the therapeutic nutrition realm.
Lastly, in collaboration with the Institute for Health System Transformation and Sustainability (IHSTS), IPTN manages Reversing Prediabetes and Diabetes Remission, two free, high-quality online resources for patients and professionals aimed at helping those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes/prediabetes achieve remission or reversal.
