Metabolic Typing® FAQ’s

Thinking about doing Metabolic Typing®, but want to learn more?  Here are 5 Frequently Asked Questions to help you make a healthy decision.

1) What is Metabolic Typing®?

Metabolic Typing® is a nutrition method based on eating right for your unique genetic requirements.  Every single person has very specific fuel requirements.  When you work with a Metabolic Typing® Advisor, you will learn what your Metabolic Type is and how to eat to support your health.
2) Why does Metabolic Typing® succeed where diets fail?

Diets are generic. They assume that our bodies are the same and that we don’t have individual differences.  We know that isn’t true! (food allergies, disease, lifestyle, stress, geography, ethnicity, etc.)
3) Who should find out their Metabolic Type®?

Everyone! Absolutely every single person who follows Metabolic Typing® correctly benefits their health from a fundamental, cellular level.  It really is the only way to address nutrition properly.
4) Why are the Metabolic Typing® meal plans different from each other?

Depending on your Metabolic Type®, certain vitamins, minerals and foods will improve or worsen your health.  Research shows that there are key elements (that Metabolic Typing® follows) that dictate how nutrients behave in the body.  If you have one Metabolic Type®, you thrive on higher levels of calcium, you require it, in fact, to be healthy.  Other Metabolic Types® will develop degenerative conditions if their calcium intake is the same. For this reason, everyone needs to follow the meal plan best for their Metabolic Type®.
5) How much does it cost and what do I need to do?

The test to discover your Metabolic Type is on sale for $50 and it is a very detailed questionnaire, very convenient and very accurate.  Blood, urine and saliva tests do not convey the depth or continuous information that the questionnaire does–a vital component of the test is food trials (the trying of specific foods and observation of reactions).  Once you complete the questionnaire and submit it to Healthexcel, I will receive your results within 48 hours and contact you to schedule your 60 minute results session ($75).  The minimum level of advising after your results session is once per week for 15 minutes (in person, via email or via phone) for a month.  This really is the minimum amount of advising you will need to truly be successful with the lifestyle change of Metabolic Typing®.

I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial metabolic typing is for your health, wellness, proper body weight, energy level, digestion, and mental/emotional wellness–if you are ready to make serious changes and really be committed for the long-term, let’s get you started today! :)
