9.2. An Introduction to Nutritional Biochemistry

Here you will learn about the basic biochemistry required to understand nutrition. We explain how each macronutrient (protein, carbohydrates, fats, alcohol) functions in the body and why it is crucial to understand and appropriately balance these nutrients. Metabolic dysfunction is one of your horsemen, and you can’t understand it without talking about its primary driver: what you eat.
