Nutritional Physiology for Health & Performance
About This Course
This physiology course explores the relationship between nutrition, metabolism and brain health. It starts with a basic understanding in nutrition, metabolim and energy balance, as well as how brain controls food intakes and communicates other systems, followed by life style management of brain health and whole body physioilogy. By delving into various foundations, learners will gain insights into factors affecting metabolism and brain health. The course provides a comprehensive overview of key concepts in physiology, from the basic building blocks to complex topics. Learners will develop essential vocabulary with foundational knowledge, preparing them for courses in human potential.
