Metabolic-Typing
What is Metabolic Typing?
Metabolic Typing, a revolutionary system for optimizing whole body health, involves analyzing the individual at a fundamental metabolic level. Each individual’s metabolism is controlled by one of two primary dominance systems, the Oxidative System (converting nutrients into energy) and the Autonomic System (governing the use and distribution of energy). Although both systems do operate simultaneously, one system may be more dominant than the other. By determining your Metabolic Type through a simple Metabolic Typing protocol, we are able to pinpoint the foods and supplements that will optimize the production and processing of energy in your body.
What does Metabolic Typing Involve?
Metabolic Typing begins with a series of simple tests that take approximately two and a half hours to perform. This testing occurs in four timed cycles and is performed on an empty stomach. An initial series of baseline readings are taken, and then the patient is given a modified glucose challenge drink. Then, we compare all the subsequent test results to your baseline readings, as well as specific questions we ask you at the beginning of each testing cycle.
What will we be Testing?
Tests such as blood glucose levels, ABO blood type, urine and saliva, breathe holding capacity and respiration rate will also be preformed. These tests, preformed before and after ingesting a modified glucose challenge drink, allow us to determine your Metabolic Type. Armed with this important knowledge, an individual can then knowingly select the appropriate foods and nutritional supplements that are tailored to his/her specific metabolism.
