Personalized glucose regulation remains a central yet unresolved challenge in precision nutrition, as postprandial glucose response varies substantially across individuals. Existing approaches based on glycemic indices fail to adequately account for such heterogeneity and lack the mechanism to dynamically adjust meals based on personal physiological feedback. In this context, recent advances in LLM-based agents offer a promising direction, as they enable context-aware reasoning and iterative refinement. Inspired by this, we propose a physio-feedback agentic loop, a unified system that integrates individualized absorption modeling with dietary intervention to regulate glucose response. Specifically, we develop a Physiology-Aware Glucose Predictor to model individualized absorption dynamics through a learnable Temporal Physiological Absorption Decay Module. We then construct a Prediction-Driven Two-Stage Meal Optimization Agent that iteratively refines real-world meals using predicted outcomes as explicit feedback. Through extensive experiments on multiple public datasets, we demonstrate that our method not only improves prediction accuracy but also effectively reduces glucose excursions. To the best of our knowledge, this paper marks the first step in integrating physiological learning with an LLM-based agent for personalized glucose regulation.
Personalized health AI systems face a fundamental cold-start problem: machine learning models for physiological interpretation require weeks of individual behavioral data before they can distinguish constitutional variation from environmentally driven deviation. We propose a solution grounded in causal inference and Bayesian prior design. An individual's genomic profile serves as an exogenous genetic anchor -- a domain-informed, personalized prior that is fixed at conception, immune to reverse causation, and available before a single behavioral observation is collected. The anchor initializes a Bayesian belief state over an individual's physiological set point G-hat = mu + sum(beta_i * g_i), where beta_i are GWAS-derived effect sizes and g_i are risk-allele counts. Each incoming physiological measurement P produces a non-constitutional deviation delta = P - G-hat that separates the signal attributable to environment and state from the constitutionally fixed baseline. As behavioral data accrue, the prior decays according to G-hat_t = w(t)*G-hat_genomic + [1-w(t)]*P-bar_t, transitioning from genome-dominated to empirical-baseline-dominated inference. The same observed HRV of 55 ms generates a suppression hypothesis for a person whose prior predicts 80 ms, and an enhancement hypothesis for a person whose prior predicts 30 ms -- a reversal impossible without a personalized anchor. We develop this architecture across six physiological domains, grading genomic priors by evidence strength, distinguishing robustly replicated anchors (FTO, FADS1/2, FKBP5) from contested candidate genes (SLC6A4, MAOA, DRD2). We address the inference boundary between association, Mendelian randomization, and individual token causation, and define four constraints for deployment: evidence-graded priors, dynamic decay, ancestry-matched effect sizes, and attribution rather than deterministic output.
