Segal is a proponent of the idea there is no "one size fits all" diet, in the sense that people will respond differently to certain types of food. Through a study utilizing continuous glucose monitoring and food journals, he produced some evidence that the glucose response to specific foods differ significantly between people. He hypothesized that personalized food plans based on further research could be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of diabetes. Later, he employed blood DNA testing, feces analysis (gut bacteria) to gather data which was analysed with a machine learning method to create personalized diets that were expected to improve glucose responses after eating. This method was tested on a population size of 26, the results of the study supported his hypothesis, though required further testing.[9][10]
