Overview

Supporting your patients' muscle health often means juggling the biological assessment, the supplementation strategy, protein intake and getting them moving again, all while devoting considerable time to it during and after your consultations. This Tools Pack gathers the educational materials that I use daily in my own support work, ready to be personalised to your colours, to convey clear and smooth information in a click.

What you will learn

  • Read the functional biology of muscle health through two axes, the mitochondrial terrain (cofactors, iron status, coenzyme Q10, zinc, selenium, vitamins D and E, omega-3 index, oxidative stress markers) and the hormonal climate (insulin-glucose axis and HOMA, thyroid hormones, somatotropic axis, sex hormones), with optimal value benchmarks
  • Build a targeted supplementation strategy, from mitochondrial support to muscle protein synthesis, integrating proteins, leucine, BCAAs, HMB and creatine according to the person's profile
  • Quickly calculate a patient's protein needs according to their weight, height and activity level, and objectify insulin resistance through the HOMA calculation
  • Translate these needs onto the plate using practical tables (reaching 20, 30 or 40 grams of protein per meal) taking into account leucine content and carbohydrate load
  • Compose snacks and plates rich in protein, fun and customisable, to make your patients more autonomous
  • Offer a structured programme to get moving again, designed and tested by a qualified sports coach, as a motivational tool and gateway to physical activity

On the programme

  • A 12-week training guide, created by a sports coach, in three progressive levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), based on functional and bodyweight exercises, with AMRAP, HIIT, EMOM and superset formats, plus a perceived-effort tracking table
  • A basic guide to muscle-health functional biology, organised around the mitochondrial terrain and the hormonal climate
  • A guide to muscle-health supplementation, from mitochondrial support to muscle protein synthesis
  • A calculation toolbox (protein needs, HOMA calculation) usable directly with the patient
  • Dietary sheets to reach a protein target per meal, a protein snack sheet and an album of muscle-health plates rich in protein
  • Important benchmarks on cardiovascular caution and the need for medical supervision before resuming physical activity

Who it is for

This training is for healthcare professionals and practitioners in micronutrition and functional nutrition who support their patients in individual consultation and wish to save time while providing professional-quality materials.

At the end of the training

You will have a set of educational materials customisable to your details, usable immediately during and after your consultations. You will know how to interpret a biological assessment focused on muscle health, calculate and concretely translate protein needs onto the plate, build a coherent supplementation strategy and get your patients moving again with a progressive training guide. You will thus smooth out the conveying of information and strengthen the added value of your support.

Frequently asked questions

How should the training guide be used in consultation with a patient?
The guide, co-created with sports coach David Donté, offers a 12-week program structured into 3 progressive levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) with 3 sessions per week. Dr Anne Lucas, PharmD recommends presenting it on screen by sharing your screen or sending it directly to the patient via WeTransfer. A dedicated video with David Donté is planned to explain how to present it.
What is the progression logic between the three phases of the guide?
The program is divided into three phases of four weeks each: beginner, intermediate and advanced. This duration corresponds to the time needed for mechanical and metabolic adaptation, as well as to prepare tendons and ligaments for progressively heavier loads. If a patient is still struggling, Dr Anne Lucas, PharmD recommends repeating the beginner phase for an additional two to three months.
How many sessions per week are recommended, and how should they be spaced?
The program calls for three sessions per week, ideally spaced with a rest day in between: for example, Monday (AMRAP), Wednesday (HIIT), Friday (light active recovery session). Rest days can include walking or cycling in zone 2, running being considered more demanding on the muscles. It is not advised to do two strength training days in a row or to exceed 50 minutes of HIIT per week for beginners.
What biological markers are recommended for assessing mitochondrial function in relation to muscle health?
Dr Anne Lucas, PharmD systematically recommends an iron panel, coenzyme Q10 testing, zinc, selenium, vitamin D and vitamin E. If budget allows, an erythrocyte fatty acid profile is advised, with an optimal value for the omega-3 index between 8 and 10%. Testing for anti-oxidized-LDL antibodies completes the assessment of oxidative stress, since the mitochondrion is the main endogenous producer of free radicals.
What is AMRAP, and how should it be used with a beginner patient?
AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) consists of repeating a circuit of exercises as many times as possible within a set duration (20 to 30 minutes), with no goal of high intensity but rather continuity of effort. The watchword is movement mastery, not speed. If the patient stops, that is acceptable: the goal is to progressively increase the number of rounds from one week to the next over four weeks.
How should the insulin-glucose axis be assessed to detect insulin resistance?
Dr Anne Lucas, PharmD advises testing fasting insulin, fasting glucose and calculating HOMA-IR. A triglyceride/HDL ratio above 3 is a strong signal of insulin resistance; the optimal value is below 1. The pack includes an automatic HOMA-IR calculation slide rule for practitioners without functional software.
