About
This course provides a comprehensive and science-based understanding of nutrition and weight management, focusing on the biochemical, physiological, and molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolism and body composition. It begins by exploring molecular nutrition, examining how nutrients interact with genes, enzymes, and cellular processes to influence metabolism, energy production, immune function, and disease prevention. Learners develop a detailed understanding of metabolic processes, including catabolism and anabolism, energy pathways such as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and the role of hormones—such as insulin, leptin, and ghrelin—in regulating appetite, energy balance, and fat storage. The course also examines basal metabolic rate (BMR), factors influencing energy expenditure, and the physiological responses to calorie restriction and weight loss. The programme further covers body composition analysis, highlighting the roles of fat, muscle mass, water, and bone in weight management, alongside nutritional assessment tools such as BMI and dietary evaluation methods. It also introduces therapeutic dietary strategies and personalized nutrition approaches based on genetic and metabolic differences. Overall, the course equips learners with advanced knowledge and practical strategies for effective, evidence-based weight management and long-term health improvement.
