How Does Metabolic Typing Work?

Offered by the Optimal Health Center, a Metabolic Typing (MT) analysis involves the completion of a questionnaire along with an optional, but strongly recommended, hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). This information is used to analyze your metabolic type and design a specific lifestyle program that addresses your metabolic individuality.

If you struggling with your health, the metabolic typing diet can enable you to:

• achieve and maintain your ideal weight
• eliminate sugar cravings
• enjoy sustained energy and endurance
• conquer indigestion, fatigue, and allergies
• bolster your immune system
• overcome anxiety, depression, and mood swings

(The following is an excerpt from an article by William Wolcott, metabolic research pioneer and co-author of The Metabolic Typing Diet.)

At its introductory level, metabolic typing uses body language — a vast lexicon of anatomical, physiological, and even psychological data — to identify people’s inherited capabilities for transforming foods and nutrients into life-sustaining energy.

Why is it that my best friend's nutritional supplements work absolute miracles, but make me feel lousy?

Why does a low-fat, low-protein, high-complex-carbohydrate diet RAISE cholesterol in some people instead of lower it?

Why does taking a nutritional product help one person with a problem but not another?

How can one best-selling book say one thing about nutrition and the other best-seller say just the opposite?

Why will a certain diet give my friends energy and help them lose weight but make me tired and GAIN weight?

Why can't I get rid of my candida overgrowth problem, even though I've followed an "anti-candida" diet?

Why is it that I eat the best organic foods, buy the most expensive supplements, exercise until I'm blue in the face, get my 8 hours of sleep, and still end up feeling like I can barely make it through the day?

If you've been asking yourself questions like these, but haven't been getting the answers you're looking for, take the guesswork out of your search for health. Find out exactly what's right for you. The answers you've been looking for may be found through The Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing, based on over 25 years of empirical research in the determination of individual metabolic requirements.

Everywhere you look, there are contradictions. Your friend tells you one thing. You read about just the opposite in a health magazine. And a hot new best seller at your local book store says something quite different altogether. You've probably learned from your own experience that what works for one person doesn't help a second and can actually make a third person worse.

The reason is that 90% of the people talking about nutrition know just enough to be dangerous. They know that nutrition can be the answer, but they don't know how to use it properly. And, yes, it is a two-edged sword: If you use nutrition properly, it can help make you well. If you use it improperly, however, it can make you sick and sometimes keep you that way. Every person is as unique as his or her fingerprints, so why would anyone ever think that one diet is right for everyone? Unless you match your nutrition to your metabolism, you may be wasting your time and money.
