Metabolic Partitioning Correction

Meaning

Metabolic Partitioning Correction is the therapeutic strategy aimed at re-directing the utilization of ingested nutrients, primarily focusing on shifting energy substrate away from storage (fat accumulation) toward utilization (muscle building and energy production). This process involves optimizing the body’s sensitivity to key metabolic hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, to ensure that calories are appropriately partitioned to lean body mass rather than adipose tissue. Effective correction is a cornerstone of body composition improvement, sustainable weight management, and enhanced metabolic health. Failure to correct this partitioning often leads to progressive insulin resistance and sarcopenia.
