This course teaches a cellular-medicine framework for understanding how cells manage energy and oxidative stress, with an emphasis on redox balance (NAD/NADH and NADP/NADPH) and key signaling pathways that regulate growth, repair, and recycling (AKT, mTOR, and AMPK). You’ll connect core metabolic pathways—such as glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and lactate handling—to clinical questions about oxidative burden, nutrient sensing, and stress responses. The curriculum also covers autophagy (cellular recycling), one-carbon metabolism (pathways that support DNA building blocks and methylation), and circadian biology as a practical lens for history-taking and interpretation. Along the way, the course uses applied examples such as interpreting homocysteine with methylmalonic acid and evaluating “hyperbaric oxygen” claims using oxygen partial pressure concepts. The goal is to support clinicians in building clearer mechanistic explanations, improving confidence when reviewing labs, medications, and timing-related factors, and organizing complex cases for follow-up and reassessment over time. It is designed for clinicians and other healthcare professionals, with additional relevance for researchers and advanced students who want a structured way to translate metabolism and signaling concepts into clinical reasoning.

The course is delivered as long-form, mechanistic teaching that connects cellular pathways to practical clinical interpretation. Concepts are reinforced through applied discussions and Q&A that emphasize how to organize hypotheses and revisit them with longitudinal follow-up.
