Everyone Is Unique
The great classical medical traditions, from the Indians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, to the Chinese, all acknowledged physiological individuality. As far back as 2,000 years ago, the Roman healer/philosopher Lucretius wisely observed, “one man’s food is another man’s poison.”
In modern times, although we readily accept our external physical uniqueness as fact, we are often less accepting of our biochemical and physiological uniqueness on the inside. Sometimes, our mind fails to make the link that each of us may need to eat different foods to properly nourish our body.
Optimal Health Begins With The Diet
Our body is really the greatest living machine ever invented. Occasionally, when we ignore its requirements by not consuming the right foods or drinking adequate water, it has its own innate ability to regulate and compensate for any imbalances. However, if the imbalances persist, our body will initially issue warning signals that might manifest themselves in a multitude of ways, such as digestive problems, fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight gain, etc. If we continue to ignore these warning signs, we will do so at the peril of our health, eventually having them evolve into full-blown degenerative diseases.
Metabolic Typing is an advanced nutritional technology that helps you build optimal health by having you eat the right foods and the optimal macronutrient ratios (protein, fat, and carbohydrates) ideal for your specific body type. We all need a full spectrum of nutrients, but people have varying requirements for different nutrients. That explains why a certain nutrient can make one person feel good, have no effect on another, and cause a third person to feel worse.
Further, there are also times when the body has been put too far out of balance. In that case, it is necessary to look beyond the diet in order to uncover the underlying causes of certain health issues. Should this be necessary, your Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor will recommend additional tests to identify any malfunctions in the body’s four systems - digestive, detoxification, hormonal, and immune systems.
Benefits of The Metabolic Typing Nutrition Program
1. It’s an inside-out approach. Through an individually customized nutrition program of eating the right foods and macronutrient ratios (protein, fat and carbohydrates) for your Metabolic Type, your body will start healing itself. Optimal health begins with the diet.
2. It is specifically tailored for you and is not another mass-market one-size-fits-all diet like the ones you have probably been on. Unless your unique metabolic makeup happens to match those other diet plans, you will eventually succumb to the enormous willpower, deprivation, and denial required for you to stay on the diet. Majority of my clients enter the nutrition program with sugar cravings, but by eating a diet that is right for their metabolic makeup, their sugar cravings eventually disappear without the struggle of willpower or deprivation.
3. It approaches disease processes at their point of origin. For example, instead of merely recommending some herbs or natural supplements to alleviate the symptoms of an illness, your Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor will also recommend the appropriate tests to uncover the root cause of your symptoms. By addressing your illness at the causative level, you will be able to build health instead of just fighting symptoms.
4. You will gradually attain your naturally ideal weight by shedding pounds if you are overweight and gaining weight if you are underweight. The body is designed to be healthy, as there is a natural mechanism by which it balances itself. When you eat for your Metabolic Type, you will give your body all the necessary nutrients and in the right proportions to achieve metabolic balance and efficiency.
5. You will find an increase in energy and endurance when the foods and nutrients you take in are being metabolized efficiently. People’s bodies are like cars; cars’ fuel requirements depend upon the type of engine running them. It is no different with your body; once you put in the right fuel, you will find it operating more smoothly and efficiently.
6. Your immune system will be boosted. When your body no longer has to combat all the imbalances and inefficiencies, more energy can be diverted to the immune system to fight off any foreign invaders against your body.
7. It will help prevent chronic degenerative diseases such as allergies, arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. When we don’t give our bodies the necessary nutrients they require, imbalances result. If ignored, they eventually lead to degeneration and chronic diseases. Simply changing the diet can reverse this process.
Who Can Benefit From the Metabolic Typing Nutrition Program?
As it is the only nutrition approach that meets everyone’s genetically based requirements, everyone can benefit from eating for their Metabolic Type.
However, there are three specific applications of a Metabolic Typing Nutrition Program:
1. Weight management. As we have discussed, it is a natural by-product of balancing the body’s chemistry and maximizing the body’s energy potential.
2. Addressing chronic diseases. Diseases all start with some biochemical imbalances in the body.
3. Athletic or physical performance. When you achieve metabolic efficiency, you will have more energy and improved endurance.
