Frankly I don’t think it’s possible yet. Or at least if it is I’m not aware of it. But I think that will change in the coming years, mostly due to dramatic drops in the cost of genetic sequencing.
If you can sequence the DNA of enough people and track how what they eat and their disease prevalence or whatever outcomes you care about, you’ll likely be able to suss out the contributions from various genes to a particular health outcome. This has already been done for single complex traits like height or heart disease risk. But I think the next step is tying that to inputs like diet and exercise.
There are products such as https://www.dnafit.com and https://nutrigenomix.com/ on the market and I’m a bit skeptical about the extend towards which those should be trusted for more then just “consume more of Vitamin X”.

Okay, then I mostly agree.
