Nutrition
Metabolic pathways, insulin signaling, mitochondrial function, nutrient absorption
Nutrition isn't about calories — it's about metabolic signaling. Insulin triggers GLUT4 transporter translocation to move glucose into cells. Inside mitochondria, the electron transport chain converts this into ATP. When mitochondrial function degrades, every system downstream fails — energy, cognition, immunity, repair.
