Description
Master nutrition science and biochemistry through clinical reasoning - not recall. Built for the June 2026 USMLE nutrition update. Kinetics is designed for medical students preparing for Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3, built around the 2026 USMLE update that broadened nutrition biochemistry and chronic-disease testing across all three Step exams. Every case and pathway is mapped to the JAMA 2024 nutrition-competency framework that the USMLE cites as its alignment standard. WHO IT'S FOR ‣ Medical students preparing for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3 ‣ M1/M2 students in biochemistry and nutrition courses ‣ International medical graduates (IMGs) preparing for US licensure ‣ Residents reviewing nutrition for in-training exams or board recertification ‣ PA, NP, and pharmacy students mastering nutrition mechanisms THE THREE-PILLAR LOOP Every session follows the same flow: ‣ CASE - Open a patient vignette. Review the history. Order relevant labs at a cost - targeted workups earn more. Commit to a differential diagnosis. ‣ PATHWAY - Once you nail the DDx, map the biochemistry. Drag substrate, enzyme, cofactor, and product into a mechanism chain that explains why the clinical picture emerged. Understanding builds as you build. ‣ SPACED REPETITION - Missed a pathway? It returns tomorrow. Nailed it? It advances to 3, 7, or 21 days. Your knowledge stays durable between now and test day. CONTENT ‣ 22 topic anchors: 13 vitamins, 6 minerals, and 3 macronutrient pathways - carbohydrate, fatty-acid, and amino-acid metabolism (urea-cycle nitrogen disposal). ‣ 71 clinical cases covering deficiency, toxicity, and dysregulation ‣ 41 mechanism-chain pathways, each with a clinical pearl ‣ Drug-induced deficiencies taught as causal chains: metformin and B12 in long-term diabetics, phenytoin and folate in seizure patients, TMP-SMX and folate on PCP prophylaxis, and more. Includes a searchable drug-nutrient interaction index for fast lookup. ‣ Macronutrient metabolism aligned with current Step 2 emphasis: gluconeogenesis, insulin signaling, β-oxidation, ketogenesis, NAFLD/SREBP, urea-cycle hyperammonemia ‣ Lifespan-specific pathways: periconception folate, maternal iodine, infant B12, neonatal vitamin K, congenital cretinism ‣ Food allergy vs intolerance discrimination (cow's milk protein allergy, celiac disease) ‣ Eating-disorder identification with DSM-5 criteria and refeeding-syndrome management protocol ‣ Nutrition label interpretation for chronic-disease counseling ‣ A competency dashboard tracking your progress against every JAMA 2024 nutrition competency the app teaches FREE TIER Vitamin B12 unlocked forever. Three cases (pernicious anaemia, nitrous-oxide-induced SACD, infant of vegan mother) and two pathways (MMA cycle, breastmilk-infant myelination) - enough to run the complete case → pathway → review loop and decide if Kinetics fits your study style.
