I am privileged to have studied recently in London, under Alessandro Ferreti, who has developed Bio Typing forwards from the findings of the Founder, naturopath Roderick Lane. A form of metabolic typing was first identified from as early as 1940.

It is now based on the premise that 5 bio types evolved in response to the needs of early man and his ultimate survival. The 5 types are based on a person’s dominant gland, and the dietary protocol is prescribed based on the body type of a client. Our personality, and mentality may also be dictated by this same gland, or a sub dominant gland, and this is treated, or honed with therapy, rest, healing or hobbies.

We have always understood that no one diet fits all. Do you remember how the Atkins diet was tolerated by some, and some success had with it, but others were physically suffering from following this regime?

Bio Typing works, and many studies have verified this and I have been astounded by what I have observed with my own research at the gym so far.

I’ll give you ‘homework’ to do which will establish what your body type is. We’ll then check it out together. After an extensive consultation I will then be able to give prescribed nutritional and exercise protocols. If you follow these as closely as you can, this, in turn, will lead to increased energy levels, weight maintenance and/or loss, healing, self knowledge and insights, health and vitality. I will also provide you with menu planners to get you started. It is also a lot of fun to do!

You will learn the best times to eat and how much, which foods cause you to gain or lose weight, possible intolerances to food and foods to avoid, the best macro-nutrient ratio for your body, food cravings and why they occur, what the ideal but realistic body shape is for your type, what motivates you, challenges you and will help you to stick to an exercise programme, and how to ‘heal’ for your specific body type.

This is all based on the entirely true naturopathic philosophy that the body will always reach towards a state of health.

Call me at the gym for a consultation, you will not regret it. Do have a look at the link on this page to see who you are dealing with!! (I’m not all that bad, honestly!).
