Macronutrient Modulation

Meaning

Macronutrient Modulation is the precise, intentional adjustment of the relative proportions of dietary protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake to elicit specific physiological or hormonal responses. This strategy is employed to optimize metabolic flexibility, manage glycemic control, and support body composition goals. It requires a detailed understanding of how each macronutrient uniquely impacts satiety hormones, insulin secretion, and thermogenesis. The objective is to move beyond standard dietary guidelines to a highly customized nutritional prescription based on individual metabolic needs and clinical markers.
