Personalized Nutrition Programs
Metabolic
Typing
A new paradigm in nutritional science that determines
biochemical individuality.
A powerful way to manipulate food for personal
health, by linking food ratios to physiological types. Your food
contains thousands of compounds that your body uses as its “fuel
for life.” Your food can be your medicine or your poison. Living
food has the power to heal. (see Conscious
Eating, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Chapter 3, page 43)
Ayurvedic Doshas
The Ayurvedic healing system, which has been
successfully used for thousands of years, recognizes the importance
of the specific energies of foods and herbs in re-balancing and
healing the body. In order to artfully develop an individualized
diet, it is useful to be aware that different foods have specific
effects on our body-mind complex.
Endocrine Type
Certain foods have specific stimulating effects
on certain endocrine systems. If we eat foods that over stimulate
key endocrine glands (e.g. thyroid, adrenal, gonadal and pituitary),
eventually the gland becomes exhausted. The metabolic rate then
slows down and we gain weight according to our endocrine type.
Blood Type
The only thing specifically worth paying attention
to regarding blood type approach are certain high-lectin foods that
may be detrimental to us if eaten in excess. The foods we want to
minimize are those containing ‘lectins that are reactive with
our blood type’.
Culinary
Arts/Food Preparation
Sit in comfort as you watch your meals being prepared
by your own personal nutritionist/chef.
Experience hands-on food preparation and delicious raw (80%) plant
based meals for your individual metabolic type, taste and nutritional
needs. Learn through experience how to incorporate these healing
foods into your everyday life, intentionally improving health and
ideal weight.
Only plant based, organically grown whole food meals are prepared
in our kitchen. Our herbs are organically grown or wild-harvested
and have not been gassed or irradiated.
Use of supplements
Whole food nutrition can provide all the nutrients
necessary. However, in the presence of chronic illness, when specific
organs or glands require up-regulating and targeted nutrition, we
recommend supplements on a temporary basis.
We recommend supplements that are free of tag-alongs
(herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, heavy metals, fumigants,
irradiation etc.). Nutrients contained in our supplements are cellular
resonant for ideal DNA repair and protection not possible from
old style isolated vitamins and minerals products. We use excipient-free
products made with 100% pure vegetable capsules (more
information).
