Theoretical Subjects - Nutritional Physiology

In the subject Nutritional Physiology you learn how diet and nutrients affect the body and the skin. As a cosmetologist it is important to understand the connection between what we eat and how the skin reacts - both in relation to health, ageing, inflammation and general skin conditions.

What will you learn?

You gain insight into:

• The most important nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals
• The significance of diet for the skin’s appearance and function
• The connection between diet, hormonal balance and skin problems
• The role of digestion in nutrient absorption
• Anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle factors
• Critical understanding of diet trends and supplements

The subject gives you a holistic understanding that you can use to advise your clients - without going beyond your professional boundaries.

Why is it important?

Healthy and well-functioning skin starts from within. By understanding the role of nutrition, you can help your clients achieve better and more lasting results - whilst also differentiating yourself as a cosmetologist with holistic understanding. It provides deeper guidance and more targeted treatments.

Teaching format

The teaching combines theory, cases and reflection. You learn to connect nutritional factors to skin condition and gain tools to guide your clients in an ethical and informed manner - always with respect for your professional scope of practice.
