About Metabolic Typing
Metabolic Typing, or customized nutrition, is a method to formulate a specific diet for an individual based on their genetic makeup. This method advocates that each individual is different and no standard diet applies. Three basic diet types are defined as carbohydrate, protein and mixed. To determine the correct diet for a specific individual, your naturopathic practitioner or physician will use a combination of a questionnaire along with blood, urine and saliva tests. The resulting diet consists of useful foods and supplements as well as those that should be avoided.
How does it work?
Ivana Uher, our naturopathic practitioner is HealthExcel certified in providing Metabolic Typing. The HealthExcel System of Metabolic Typing is a highly complex procedure that uses a computer to analyze an enormous amount of information regarding each of your unique metabolic characteristics in order to better understand your special, individual, nutritional and ecological lifestyle requirements.
Four different programs exist: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Comprehensive. Each program involves two aspects: evaluation of your individual metabolic type requirements and a written report containing significant health information, as well as individualized ecological lifestyle recommendations to reach optimum health.
