What is Metabolic Typing?

Have you ever wondered why “diets” work for some of us and not for others? I have always wondered “why”? Most “experts” tell us that your “diet” failed because you lacked willpower to follow the strict guidelines OR you weren’t exercising enough. I have heard it all! In my quest to achieve my “optimum” weight, I have heard, “It is real simple, calories in MUST be less than calories out.” “In order to lose weight, your “calories out” MUST be greater than your “calories in”.” Sounds real simple……not so! I’ll explain why shortly. Just as we are all uniquely different on the outside, we are all uniquely different on the inside. Let me say that again….. We are all uniquely different on the inside! We all have the same “parts” however, these “parts” work differently inside of us. This is what the “nutrition industry” has overlooked. Dietary solutions need to be tailored to these differences. What works for one person may have no effect on another person and may make a third person worse! As Lucretius, a Roman healer/philosopher observed some 2000 years ago, “One man’s food is another man’s poison.” Many of our ancestors knew this. All the great classic medical traditions, (from India, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China), understood the importance of physiological individuality. We ARE all different on the inside! However, our Western culture has led us astray. Many intelligent experts have spent years conducting “state-of-the-art” laboratory and clinical research. They have analyzed foods and nutrients and their mechanisms of action in exhaustive detail. The resulting body of information that is available to us is staggering in its scope, precision, and complexity. But, without individuality as a guiding principle of nutritional science, all our advanced research and impressive data and scientific expertise don’t really translate into effective clinical solutions! If they did, Americans would not be the fattest and unhealthiest people in the world! Our poor health is a direct result of serious diet deficiencies or imbalances. One size does NOT fit all! Metabolic typing, the science of building health, is a groundbreaking technology that takes the guesswork out of nutritional science. It’s a system you or anyone can use to cut rapidly through the information glut of confusing fact and opinion in order to identify your own unique nutritional requirements. When you eat according to your own unique hereditary requirements, as opposed to following some universal do’s and don’ts or randomly prescribed dietary advise, it’s entirely possible that you can achieve the same kind of robust health and fitness that your ancestors undoubtedly enjoyed! You can: • Prevent and reverse degenerative disease • Strengthen your immune system • Achieve and maintain your ideal weight • Optimize physical energy and mental clarity • Overcome mood swings and depression • Enhance athletic performance and endurance HOW? With Metabolic Typing! You can individualize your diet and eat what your unique body needs. As you may already know, metabolism is simply the sum total of the entire chemical and biological activities that are necessary to sustain life. Although these life functions, or metabolic activities, are many and diverse, they can be summarized as follows; nutrition, transport, respiration, synthesis, regulation, growth and reproduction. In order to sustain life, all these metabolic activities require energy. The air, water, sunlight, and food (nutrients) we acquire from our environment are used by our bodies to produce this vital life-sustaining energy. Every biochemical process in your body is entirely dependent on the rate, quality, and amount of energy available to you. When optimum energy is available to your body, on all levels – to all your cells, organs, glands, and systems – then optimum (balanced and efficient) functioning, or good health, is possible! It is on a cellular level that all metabolic activity takes place and efficiency or inefficiency is determined. Each cell in your body is like a biochemical factory built to fulfill a specific metabolic function. Unless the genetically required raw materials are available at the right place, at the right time, and in a form that can be utilized, inefficiency at the cellular level will result. The bottom line is this: unless you acquire all the nutrients for which you have a genetically programmed need, your cells ability to perform their functions will be impaired. As your cells lose their ability to produce adequate energy (because they lack sufficient nutrients), they also lose their ability to repair and rebuild tissue. Strong, healthy cells become replaced by weak, defective ones. This then exerts a domino effect on your whole system. The quality of your health is largely dependent on the rate, quality and amount of energy available to your metabolic processes. When cells do get all the nutrients they need, they’re capable of producing optimum amounts of energy. With adequate available energy, they can readily fulfill their genetic roles and repair, rebuild and reproduce efficiently and effectively, leading you to good health. How do you know what your genetically-programmed cells need? Through Metabolic Typing. After several decades of clinical research and studies by many experts, working with thousands of individuals, metabolic typing profiles have been developed. You can choose to spend hundreds of dollars on metabolic typing and find out, very specifically, how your cells utilize energy OR you can be “profiled” by answering several questions. This profile will give you enough information in order for you to individualize your diet and achieve optimal health.
