Nutrient Timing Epigenetics

Meaning

Nutrient Timing Epigenetics is the study and application of how the precise timing of nutrient consumption—specifically macronutrients like protein and carbohydrates—influences the epigenetic modifications that regulate genes related to metabolism, muscle anabolism, and fat storage. This clinical concept recognizes that the when of eating can be as important as the what in modulating gene expression and optimizing the body’s response to hormonal signals. Strategic timing can amplify beneficial genetic pathways.
