More about Metabolic Typing® ...
Metabolic Typing is a science-based program which recognizes the fact that we all breakdown and utilize food for energy in very different and unique ways due to a host of genetic factors. Fortunately our bodies provide many clues as to how our genetics influence our metabolic systems. These clues not only include dietary characteristic, but emotional, psychological, and physical traits as well. By analyzing these clues through a lengthy questionnaire we can accurately determine which body systems are strong and which are weak.

Once a person's metabolic type is determined we can prescribe the correct food as medicine to push toward balance. That said, it is vital that a person's diet be tailored to that individual's needs because what works for one person may have no benefit on a second person, and can make a third person ill.

Every person has a very unique, genetically-based need for a specific balance of nutrients, and it is critical to understand that the perfect balance for one individual is not necessarily the right balance for another. Determining your specific nutritional needs are necessary to build a foundation of genuine health - and genuine weightloss.

Factors that Influence Our Biochemical Individuality
Just as we all share similar facial characteristics like two eyes, a mouth, and a nose, etc. We would all agree that these same characteristics are very diverse in their appearances among different people. Surprisingly, this same comparison of diversity can be applied to how we look on the inside as well. For example, if we were able to see inside of eachother we would discover that some of us have small stomachs and others have large stomachs, some people's heart's are located directly in the middle of their chest, others have their heart toward left side and still other's have hearts toward the right side, etc.

Even more astonishing is the variation in which our glands work. For example, the pepsin content of gastric juice can vary a thousand fold between normal healthy adults. Variations that can heavily influence how our bodies work are influenced by our ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Factors such as how strong or weak our thyroid works, or how efficient our pituitary glands are, how sensitive our adrenal glands respond, or the hormonal output of our gonads all contribute to our unique biochemical makeup.

Blood Types are also a consideration of Metabolic Typing® because they present specific problems due to certain proteins in foods called lectins. Certain blood types can have a bad reaction to specific lectins. Factoring in your blood type information can be a helpful secondary source of information in identifying which foods may create a negative reaction in your diet.

In order to determine which systems are out of balance, an indiviual fills out a Metabolic Typing® questionaire that carefully analyzes the following:

Dietary Habits & Reactions

Physical Traits

Psychological & Emotional Characteristics

Eating the wrong kinds of food and/or ratios will produce some of the following negative effects:

• You develop cravings for sweets as if you felt like something was missing from the meal

• You feel tired or too hyper.

• You have a hard time focusing and have mental fog

• You feel depressed, agitated, or apathetic

• If you have a disease or some chronic symptoms your symptoms will become more aggravated.

• You feel bloated and lethargic

Eating the Right Foods and/or ratios will produce some of the following positive effects:

• You will feel satisfied, not too hungry or full

• You cravings for sweets will stop or greatly diminish

• You will have more energy and feel happier

• Your mind will feel sharp and clear

• You may eradicate mood swings

• If you have a disease or chronic symptoms they should improve or remain unchanged

The goals of Metabolic Typing are as follows:

• To improve the way the body converts & uses food as energy
• To balance body chemistry

I am excited to announce that I have met all of the legal requirements necessary to offer the Advanced Metabolic Typing® program, which can effectively analyze and calculate the right diet for your genetic needs.

A Brief History of Individualized Diets
The original ideas behind individualized diets can be traced back thousands of years to many ancient civilizations, which include the Greeks, Romans and the Chinese. However, in 1956 a biochemist named Dr. Roger Williams advanced these theories in his book, Biochemical Individuality. Williams noted that each individual has personal reactions in the way their organs function, and to the speed and efficiency in which our cells perform specific functions. Additionally, he theorized that each individual has genetically determined and specific nutritional requirements, and that the underlying cause of most human disease manifests when those requirements aren’t met.

In the late1960’s and 70’s an orthodontist named William Kelly, who also had degrees in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry further refined the theories of Dr. Roger Williams, and later teamed up with William Wolcott. Wolcott authored the most authoritative book on the subject of metabolic typing, which was appropriately entitled, The Metabolic Typing Diet. He furthered developed this system by devising an extensive questionnaire based on a plethora of metabolic factors and the findings of thousands of patients.

In the last several years an osteopath named Dr. Joseph Mercola has turned his attention toward the ideas behind metabolic typing and developed a system he terms, Nutritional Typing, which caught my attention because it made a great deal of sense. Mercola's book inspired me to read the book, Metabolic Typing Diet, by William Wolcott, and my jaw literally dropped while I read the first 100 pages because it made more sense to me than anything else I had ever come across. Wolcott's book had such a profound impact on me that I decided to withdraw my plans to go to medical school to become naturopathic doctor, and instead become a certified metabolic typing instructor for Metabolic Typing®. I truly believe this is the tool that will help me direct people in the best directions possible.

I originally created a system similar to Mercola's Nutrional Typing and called my system, Nutritional Branding. However, after further investigation, I find Wolcott's system to be much more precise and advanced than my system or anyone elses for that matter. Furthermore, I have come to understand that deviating from Wolcott's established protocols can lead to negative repurcussions. That said, I do NOT recommend devaiating from the protocols that William Wolcott has pain-stakingly established over the last 30 years of research and experience.

Of the eleven body systems analyzed by Metabolic Typing the 2 systems that are most responsible for influencing our metabolism and defining our unique dietary needs (often referred to as our bio-chemical individuality) are as follows:

The Oxidative System

This is the system responsible for the rate at which we convert our fuel to energy. Some people oxidize food at a rapid rate while others oxidize food at a much slower pace. People who burn through food (especially carbohydrates) need to slow down their rate of oxidation by eating more dense foods like high purine proteins & fats. Others who oxidize foods at a slower rate would need to eat less dense foods (fats & proteins) and eat more easily burned foods like carbohydrates. The overall goal is to eat in a way that creates balance in this system. As a result, a person is either classified as a FAST, MIXED, or SLOW OXIDIZER.

The Autonomic Nervous System

This system is responsible for all of our unconscious bodily functions, such as digestions, rate of breathing, dilation of pupils, heart rate, etc. The Autonomic Nervous System is the master regulator of metabolism, and is comprised of two branches; the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch. When they are in balance they work as a classic push/pull system. For example, the sympathetic branch will speed up heart rate when necessary and the parasympathetic will slow it down. However, due to our genetics and other factors we are often more dominant in one of the branches. The goal is to eat specific foods that strengthen our weaker side and push toward balance in this system.

Understanding the Foundation
One of the reasons I love MT (Metabolic Typing®) is because it approaches health from a foundational level (the cellular level), which creates genuine health. Let me explain:

It is estimated that our bodies are made up of about 50 trillion cells. To give you an idea of how large this number is please consider the following:

By the time 50 trillion seconds passes, you would be over 1.5 million years old!

Despite the body's challenge to accomodate this vast number of cells, they must all function normally in order to sustain genuine health. This is accomplished by providing them with the perfect fuel-mix so they can create the maximum amount of energy to perform their individual jobs like re-generating new skin cells, detoxifying blood, and producing hormones, etc.

How It all Fits Together
When our individual cells join together in groups they create tissue, which joins together to create specific organs and glands - and theses organs join together to create body systems - and these systems come together to create us. That said, our personal health is dependant on the strength of our systems - which is dependant on the strength and effciency of our organs, glands and tissues - which is dependant on the strength and efficiency of our individual cells.

It may help to think of good health as dependant on the following biological domino effect:

Healthy Cells -> Healthy Tissues -> Healthy Glands -> Healthy Organs -> Healthy Systems = Genuine Health

This is the reason why it is absolutely critical to address health problems on a cellular level because once that foundation is set - all of our glands, organs and systems have an absolute chance to remain strong, efficient, and healthy ... and this of course is what helps create genuine health.

I recently licensed the right to a series of professional coaching videos produced by a company called MetabolicMe.com. They are designed to help my clients fully understand HOW and WHY Metabolic Typing® works, and to keep them motivated. The videos are very helpful, entertaining and educational ...
