You are defined in many ways – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – by your body type. Your body has a dominant organ, gland or system which controls how your body digests and metabolizes food and where you gain weight. This organ, gland or system also directs your basic personality.
Your body type is evident from birth and remains constant throughout your life. Knowing your body type and how it functions best is comparable to having an owner’s manual for your body.
Dr. Carolyn Mein has discovered 25 individual body types with unique dietary and nutritional needs, forms of exercise, and even distinctively different personality traits. Your individual body type determines the most appropriate lifestyle for keeping yourself healthy and at peak performance through the caring ways nature intended.
The psychological profiles accompanying each body type significantly assist with our understanding of our own emotional patterns. Acknowledging these very real differences between ourselves and others enables enhanced, more tolerant relationships. Knowing the body types of those closest to you renders a better understanding of their motivations and preferences. Ultimately, the body type even reveals insights about life lessons and purpose.
Carolyn L. Mein, D.C., is a nationally recognized author, speaker, and expert on health and nutrition. She is a fellow of the American Council of Applied Clinical Nutrition (F.A.C.A.C.N.) and a charter member of the International College of Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Mein holds degrees in Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Applied Nutrition, and Bio-Nutrition. She has maintained a private practice in Rancho Sante Fe, California (near San Diego) for over 25 years.
Dr. Mein’s interests in health, wellness and nutrition began with personal experimentation and observation. In an effort to sort through and make sense of the jungle of popular diets, she turned to the body itself. Through applied kinesiology, Dr. Mein listens to the body for direct answers to health and nutrition.
Her search for explicit understanding of the body and the differences between bodies led to the discovery of The 25 Body Type SystemTM. Finally, Dr. Mein found order to the seemingly contradictory world of nutrition. By identifying numerous distinctions, the reasons for varied results among people participating in identical programs became apparent. Adjustments could be determined and implemented for individual achievement of optimum health and ideal weight management.
