Elutify Overview
Layne Norton’s Biolayne Nutrition Level 1+2 is a two-level course in evidence-based nutrition coaching, progressing from macronutrient fundamentals to programming for physique athletes. It addresses body composition, health, and performance for personal trainers, medical professionals, nutritionists, and fitness enthusiasts working on their own goals or those of their clients.
Biolayne Nutrition Level 1+2: foundations and fat-loss coaching
The curriculum begins with three nutrition science subjects: macronutrient fundamentals, the science of energy balance, and the science of fat loss. These form the opening foundation before the course turns to applying nutrition knowledge through coaching and program design.
Coaching compliance comes next, addressing the client-adherence side of nutrition coaching. Program design for fat loss follows as a separate subject, moving the sequence from understanding fat loss to planning for that goal. The opening material therefore gives attention to both nutrition science and the practical work of coaching clients.
Hypertrophy, general-population supplementation, and refeeds
The middle portion moves into muscle-growth programming, then supplementation and diet refeeds. Its named subjects are:
- Program design for hypertrophy: planning programs directed toward muscle growth, following the earlier fat-loss programming material.
- Evidence-based hypertrophy for drug-free clients: a dedicated subject centered on this client population.
- Advanced supplementation for general-population clients: supplementation addressed specifically for general-population clients rather than only physique athletes.
- The science of diet refeeds: a separate nutrition topic following the supplementation material.
Peak week, show-day nutrition, and post-event programming
The physique-athlete sequence begins with the science of peak week, followed by show-day nutrition strategies. Preparation during peak week and nutrition on the day of competition receive separate attention.
The course then turns to programming after a competition or photoshoot, followed by program design for physique athletes. Its final subject is avoiding post-competition rebound and maximizing results. Post-event programming is therefore part of the curriculum alongside contest preparation, rather than the teaching stopping at show day.
