Welcome to The Metabolism Academy

Metabolism (from the Greek: μεταβολή”change”) is the set of life sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisma.

These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells, in which case the set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism.

Metabolism is closely linked to nutrition and the availability of nutrients. Bioenergetics is a term which describes the biochemical or metabolic pathways by which the cell ultimately obtains energy. Energy formation is one of the vital components of metabolism.

Nutrition is the key to metabolism. The pathways of metabolism rely upon nutrients that they break down in order to produce energy. This energy in turn is required by the body to synthesize new proteins, nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) etc. Nutrients in relation to metabolism encompass bodily requirement for various substances, individual functions in body, amount needed, level below which poor health results. Essential nutrients supply energy (calories) and supply the necessary chemicals which the body itself cannot synthesize. Food provides a variety of substances that are essential for the building, upkeep, and repair of body tissues, and for the efficient functioning of the body.

Metabolic pathways are complex and often interdependent. Any change in the pathways can give rise to complex disorders. For example, imbalance of the glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance are linked to the metabolic syndrome. This makes investigation of metabolic pathways and often manipulating them important in clinical diagnosis and management.

Metabolism is a mysterious animal, one affected by genetic factors as well as a complex interaction of lifestyle, nutrition and exercise habits. It’s worth understanding, though, because with a well-honed metabolism you can bolster your fat-burning and healthy-eating regimens in remarkable ways. Are you interested in optimizing your body’s fat-burning, energy-producing machinery? Then, why don’t you start by learning just a little about how your metabolism works? And then take note of the key builders and busters that can work for or against your metabolism in powerful ways. Enter The Metabolism Academy…

The Metabolism Academy promotes excellence in teaching by publishing high-quality original-researched courses on metabolism manipulation and optimization. Every theoretical explanation is supported by practical instructions that show you what to do and when to do them. If what you are searching for is the handbook of your “metabolic operating system”, your search is over. Come and visit the Metabolism Academy website and its FB page.
