Metabolic analysis and support
What is Metabolic Typing?
Metabolic Typing brings together different streams of scientific research conducted over several decades. Its fundamental assertion is that metabolism of each individual is controlled by one of two primary dominance systems: the Oxidative System, which is responsible for the conversion of nutrients into energy; and the Autonomic System, which governs the use and distribution of this energy.
By determining your Metabolic Type through the Metabolic Typing protocol, we are able to point you at the foods and supplements that we feel will work best to optimize the production and processing of energy for your particular metabolism.
Metabolic Typing involves a series of simple tests that take approximately two and a half hours to perform. The testing occurs in four timed cycles, and is performed on an empty stomach (you need to fast a minimum of six hours before your visit). After we have taken an initial series of baseline readings, you will be given a modified glucose challenge drink. We then compare all subsequent test results to your baseline readings, as well as factoring in your answers to specific questions that we ask you at the beginning of each testing cycle. We also note the results of a written questionnaire that you fill out before your visit.

During your initial appointment at our clinic, we will test the following:
- Blood pressure and pulse
Blood glucose levels
Urine and saliva pH
Urine chemistry
Urine vitamin C level
Urine specific gravity
Breath holding capacity
Respiration rate
Live blood cell (dark field) analysis
Weight and body fat percentage
