Metabolic Typing
A better nutritional technology
The question “What should I eat?” may be the most important question in nutrition. The reason, pure and simple, is that there is no greater or more powerful influence on your health. Every once in a long while a group of scientist discover something truly revolutionary. Bill Wolcott is the world's leading authority on Metabolic Typing, a revolutionary dietary technology that enables you to optimize your health and fitness by identifying your highly individualized nutritional needs and tailoring your diets accordingly
Unlike other current dietary approaches, Metabolic Typing uses multiple biochemical or metabolic indicators and identifies patterns among these variables that reveal how a person's system is genetically designed to digest, utilize or "process" specific foods and nutrients. When you eat, your food is digested into simple chemical substances. The nutrients from food are passed into your bloodstream where they are transported to each of every cell in your body. The nutrients are then assimilated into cells and through a specific chemical process they are oxidized for energy.
A good analogy is that your cells are like tiny “engines of metabolism” and the food you eat is the fuel on which each cell runs. Like an engine, your cells require the right fuel mixture of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals in order to function at full efficiency. This means that not only does your body need the right kind of fuel, but it must also get a fuel comprised of the right proportions of nutrients specific metabolic type. In order to reach optimal levels of health and fitness, you must consume the right foods in the right proportions.
When you consume foods that conflict with your individual metabolic type, or foods that contain nutrients that do not align with your metabolic requirements, your cells are unable to oxidize the food energy effectively. When your cells cannot use nutrient energy, it stores them as body fat. When you cells do not oxidize effectively, they can not detoxify. Cells that cannot detoxify become diseased. Eating habits that are inconsistent with your individual metabolic type lead not only to excess body fat and obesity, but can also create very serious health problems like organ failure, hypertension, heart disease and more.
