Nutritional Science

Meaning

Nutritional Science is the rigorous academic and clinical study of food, its components, and their physiological and biochemical effects on the human body. This discipline examines how macro- and micronutrients are metabolized, stored, and utilized to support growth, maintenance, reproduction, and overall health. Within the hormonal health domain, it provides the evidence-based framework for understanding the profound influence of dietary intake on endocrine function, metabolic signaling, and genetic expression. Practitioners rely on this science to tailor dietary recommendations for hormone balance.
