Metabolic Typing

What does metabolic typing involve?

Metabolic typing is method that provides a customised diet based upon a person’s unique individual bodily needs. This means that better results are gained than through using other diets which don't take individuality into account. Metabolic typing acts to strengthen the weakened parts of a person’s metabolism, thereby balancing the body and promoting health. It achieves this through providing guidelines of appropriate foods to eat and recommends the proportions for each individual client. It is a long-term health-based programme. (If you are looking for a short-term quick fix, then this is not for you, although certain immediate benefits can be gained from metabolic typing). It involves the following:

The advanced metabolic typing assessment: This is a detailed online questionnaire based upon physical, dietary and psychological traits. It identifies a person's metabolic type, and provides information of the type of foods best suit the individual.

The results report: This provides important nutritional and lifestyle guidelines and recommendations for a client's individual needs, and information on how to follow the metabolic typing programme.

A diet sheet: This lists over 300 foods to choose from, and provides guidelines and help on how to devise your own meal plans.

Consultancy sessions: These involve face-to-face or telephone meetings with the aim of guiding and assisting the client through the metabolic typing process. Metabolic typing is a method that requires modifications and fine-tuning, and these sessions are essential to this, and therefore the results gained.

Email correspondence: Due to the fine-tuning nature of the method and the long-term approach used, regular email correspondence with Performance Elevation ensures higher motivation and greater success.

How are the metabolic typing consultations carried out?

Face-to-face consultations may be performed at various venues including gyms, clients houses, or others. Consultations are also available via telephone and email. We aim to accommodate the needs of the client.

How frequently are the assessments / consultations performed?

Re-assessments are generally initially recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on the needs of each client. Consultation sessions are generally scheduled for once per week for the first few weeks, and may be less frequent or terminate after that.
