Your third term

Nutrition becomes physiology in Term 3.

Integrative Nutrition Science picks up where Fundamentals and Principles left off and takes you inside the body to examine how food and lifestyle influence cellular function and the connected body systems.

Complex science is taught through the questions that arise in client work. Decades of practitioner and teaching experience shape which details receive attention, how conflicting evidence is handled and where a textbook explanation often leaves part of the person out.

You move through immunity, biochemistry, digestion, detoxification, hormones, gene expression, blood sugar and mitochondrial energy. Each subject is studied on its own, then connected with the systems around it.

A glimpse inside the term

The body systems behind nutrition advice

These eight areas show how nutrition influences physiology and cellular function. The full lessons develop the science, research literacy and practitioner reasoning needed to connect them.

Immunity and immune regulation

Immunity is studied as a whole-body process influenced by gut health, nutrient status, stress, sleep and environmental exposure. Autoimmunity introduces why immune activation requires careful context, individualized support and clear professional limits.

Nutritional biochemistry and cellular function

Cell biology, enzymes, ATP, oxidative stress and glycation take nutrition below the level of food lists. Research literacy is developed with the science so students can examine health claims and understand what the evidence can support.
