What is my metabolic type? How Does it Work?

Synopsis

The subject of Metabolic Typing has been studied for decades by world-renowned scientists. They have identified twelve distinctly different types of metabolism. By knowing your individual Metabolic Type, i.e. one of the twelve, it is possible to determine accurately what vitamins, minerals, foods and other supplements will best support your own body chemistry. Equally important, it is possible to know what foods and supplements you should avoid. Start Your Metabolic Type Test

Every time you go to the doctor, he interviews you regarding your complaint, history and symptoms. Usually, he will be 90% sure of your diagnosis just from the questions he asks and the answers you give, even before he begins your examination. This is called his assessment. Doctors are trained to ask all the right questions. That is how online Metabolic Typing works. Your interactive assessment will ask you the all right questions about your dietary habits, life style habits, even your bowel habits. It takes into consideration numerous criteria such as your likes, your dislikes, your energy levels and dozens of other health symptoms and history characteristics. Our database program then compiles all your answers into the hundreds of criteria specific to the twelve metabolic types, sorts them and identifies which of the twelve is your type.

The genius of Dr. William Donald Kelley enabled him to study the scientific literature, correlate it with an individual's health history, symptoms and lifestyle and develop it into a personalized questionnaire. With the data accumulated from the questionnaire he could then identify the Metabolic Type. His original printed questionnaire, which has stood the test of time over 40 years, had 85 pages, over 300 assessment criteria and thousands of data points with the calculations performed by hand. Now, thanks to computers and the internet, this mountain of information can be quickly compiled in an hour at the convenience and privacy of your own computer. The result is a quick and easy identification of your metabolic type, one of twelve possibilities.

A word of caution is in order here. There are Kelley look-alikes which claim to determine metabolic type with as few as 9 or 10 questions. These are woefully inaccurate, if not outright dangerous. Visit a sample page from the questionnaire.
