Nutrition & supplements (biohacking)
In biohacking, nutrition is much more than just calorie and nutrient intake: it acts as a targeted control instrument for energy levels, inflammatory processes, brain performance, regeneration and long-term health. In this subject, you will develop a sound understanding of how nutrition measurably influences the body - and how you can derive practical recommendations from this.
You will look at the role of micronutrients, the interaction of food hormones, intestinal health and stable blood sugar management. You will learn how different foods and meal structures can influence energy levels throughout the day, focus, mood and recovery. The focus is on recognizing correlations rather than adopting blanket rules.
In addition, the subject highlights key topics of modern nutritional optimization: diet-related inflammation, the importance of the microbiome, as well as concepts such as autophagy and fasting. You will learn which approaches can be useful in practice, for whom they are suitable and where the limits or risks lie.
Another core area is the critical, evidence-based classification of supplements. You will gain a clear overview of which nutritional supplements are frequently discussed in a meaningful way - such as omega-3, magnesium, vitamin D or B vitamins - and how to assess their benefits, quality, dosage logic and possible risks. At the same time, you will learn to recognize marketing promises and typical myths in order to support clients in a serious and responsible manner.
The aim of the subject is to competently analyze nutrition, debunk myths and develop everyday strategies that can be implemented in the long term.
