ADVANCED NUTRITION AND HUMAN METABOLISM
The Definitive Guide to Mastering Metabolic Science
Why This Book?
This cornerstone text transforms complex metabolic concepts into clear, actionable knowledge—equipping future nutrition professionals with a deep understanding of how the body processes nutrients at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels.
What You’ll Master
-
Macronutrient Metabolism
- Digestion, absorption, and utilization of carbs, proteins, and fats
- Energy production pathways (ATP, Krebs cycle, β-oxidation)
-
-
Micronutrient Science
- Water-soluble vs. fat-soluble vitamins: Functions, cofactors, and clinical correlations
- Minerals & electrolytes: Homeostasis, deficiency/toxicity thresholds
-
-
Applied Nutrition
- Food sources for all essential nutrients
- DRI-based recommendations across life stages
-
Clinical Connections
- Obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome links
- Inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., PKU, galactosemia)
Key Features
- Complex Made Simple – Flowcharts and 3D metabolic pathway diagrams
- Case Studies – Real-world examples (e.g., scurvy, beriberi, iron anemia)
- Critical Thinking Questions – Prep for board exams (AND, CNSC)
- 2024 Updates – Latest research on gut microbiome-nutrient interactions
Who Needs This?
- Nutrition/Dietetics students (undergrad to PhD)
- Medical residents specializing in endocrinology
- Research scientists studying nutrient-gene interactions
The gold standard for metabolic nutrition—bridges biochemistry with clinical practice like no other text.
