Nutritional Frameworks

Meaning

Nutritional frameworks are systematic, evidence-based models or paradigms used in clinical practice to guide dietary intake for specific health or wellness outcomes. These frameworks, such as ketogenic, Mediterranean, or intermittent fasting protocols, structure food choices, timing, and composition to elicit targeted physiological and hormonal responses. They move beyond general dietary advice to provide a tailored strategy for managing metabolic health, inflammation, and body composition. The selection of an appropriate framework should be guided by individual metabolic and hormonal profiles.
