Take your Signature Supplements™ in the morning with food. 
The amount of capsules you take depends on your weight.

AN INTEGRATIVE HOLISTIC APPROACH

This program was scientifically developed to ensure your success at optimizing your health in three easy steps. The whole person program includes quality well balanced diet based on your biochemical needs and sensitivities, an individualized supplement, regular movement and exercise, and overall healthy lifestyle. Supportive foods, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices will enhance the effectiveness of the Signature Supplements™ program. 

Your Signature Supplements™ are made up of the basic nutrients that your body needs to function. As they balance your system you will feel better, more energized and more confident to be able to take the next step to better health by eating supportive foods. As you eat more supportive foods you feel even better. You also notice if you fall backwards and eat avoidance foods you feel pretty badly. Taking your Signature Supplements™ and eating the supportive foods makes it easier to make healthy lifestyle choices and engage in more activities. Each step bolsters and supports the next.

No one pill or herb or vitamin can heal any condition. Associated factors such as stress, toxins, lifestyle choices, eating patterns and other conditions can impact our health. The pill is not enough! You need a whole person approach to adjust the associated factors to find true health. Our system is based on three steps which when followed in order, will help catapult you to the next step.

                                  Three Steps to Optimize your Health

     Step One – Targeted vitamins, minerals and amino acids matched to biochemical needs
     Step Two – Eating supportive foods and avoiding foods that don’t support your health
     Step Three – Integrating healthy lifestyle choices and activities

STARTING OUT 

The Signature Supplements™ program provided matches your biochemistry needs, especially those of your glucose cycle. When you start the Signature Supplements™ we urge you to start slowly. If you have been taking other supplements, stop taking them. 

STEP ONE: Start the following morning with a good breakfast and take only half of your recommended dosage of Signature Supplements™at breakfast. Take only one (1) capsule if you weigh 65 to 135 pounds. Take two (2) capsules if you weigh over 135 pounds. Take this number of capsules for a week. Thereafter increase your dosage to the normal amount as recommended for your body weight. 

We do not recommend taking the supplements at night as some individuals may be too energized by the B vitamins to fall asleep easily.

STEP TWO: Once you are taking the supplements for a month or two – it varies from person to person – then you can start to make changes in your food choices and follow the preferred beneficial foods for your biochemistry. In the struggle between will power and biochemistry – biochemistry wins most of the time. Signature Supplements™ will slowly balance your biochemistry making it easier to make lifestyle changes in your eating and exercise habits. 

STEP THREE: Take it easy on your self, let the Signature Supplements™ assist your biochemistry to gradually come into alignment. You can make your lifestyle changes more effectively when your system is balanced, let that happen first, then make the desired lifestyle changes.


HEALTHY WAYS FOR YOU TO HANDLE STRESS

Stress quite simply is the way you react both physically and emotionally, to change. BioType G individuals are often sensitive to the effects of challenging situations and can better prepare themselves for this natural consequence of living. Your system is very sensitive.

    * Eating a healthy diet supports your inner biochemistry to maintain emotional balance
    * Each day have enough rest, including 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep
    * Stay on top of medical and dental issues – don’t put them off
    * Maintain a physical fitness program match to your interests
    * Pace yourself – back off when things get too stressful
    * Take vacations, even if they are mini vacations
    * Spend time daily doing things you love to do
    * Have fun, laugh a lot – watch funny movies
    * Take an assertive training class
    * Try meditation, prayer, or yoga
    * Seek to understand yourself and your personality better

    * Learn to accept what you can not change, forgive yourself and others and most 
      of all be gentle and loving with your self

FOODS AND DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

Many myths abound as to what are the right foods for everyone. Our scientists and practitioners can no longer support the generalized one-size-fits-all thinking. We have observed thousands of clients who have successfully benefited from individualized nutrition when other treatments failed. Shakespeare was right when he declared that one person’s meat is another person’s poison. We are all truly unique and our nutrition needs to reflect that in order for us to maintain our health and promote optimal wellness.

It is easier to choose what supports you and to turn down what no longer serves your health when your system is balanced. Self-defeating eating habits can be changed by using the supplements daily and then slowly making changes to your eating habits. The supplements will help balance your present bio-chemistry and help support your healthier personal habits. No food tastes better than good health feels.

HOW TO EAT HEALTHY

Drink plenty of water through out the day except before and during meals. Drinking while eating will dilute your gastric juices and cause incomplete absorption of essential nutrients. Normal water consumption is about 2 ounces of water for every pound you weigh. Most people are under hydrated and they don’t realize it. Until you are fully hydrated your body cannot send you thirst signals to drink more water. It is in survival mode and conserving the limited water to maintain temperature homeostasis throughout the body.

If you can, it is better to drink room temperature or warm water – your body does not have to work hard to assimilate water at those temperatures. Unfortunately juices, coffee, teas and sodas do not count toward the total amount of water you drink each day. Some of these drinks may actually dehydrate you.

GENERAL EATING GUIDELINES FOR YOU

Stay away from the four whites – processed salt, sugar, floor and rice. Processed and prepared foods in general are not healthy for BioType G. Fresh foods are more tasty, desirable and healthier.

Eat complex carbohydrates, they allow for an even generation of energy. Include in your meals whole grain brown rice, whole wheat breads, vegetables and beans. Add fiber to your meals, to benefit absorption and digestion of foods you eat.

You thrive on a diet high in proteins, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.  You generally need a high amount of protein. Include a wide variety of fresh green leafy vegetables eaten either raw or steamed daily.

Minimize calcium rich dairy products. Excess calcium is not healthy for G BioTypes.

Stay away from all trans fats and partially hydrogenated fats found in margarine, fried foods and bakery items. Olive and canola oils are good sources of essential fatty acids. Sautee foods with water or wine instead of butter and oil. Steam vegetables and use herbs to bring out more flavors. Replace calories from fats with complex carbohydrates. Limit fat intake to 20-30% of your calories. A high fat diet may interfere with how your body uses insulin. Since fat is high in calories, decreasing non –essential fats will also help control your weight.

Maximize protein. Meat and vegetable protein are both healthy for you to eat. If you enjoy meat consider eating fresh organic fed fish, chicken, turkey and lean red meat. Alternate among the different healthy sources of proteins. Range fed, no hormones added meat is the best for you. Just because you are eating meats you need to cut down on fats, especially from meats.

           ENJOY AND EAT WHAT IS HEALTHY FOR YOU!  

1. Protein Foods - white meats and vegetable protein in small portions. Use lean cuts of meat, fish (deep sea), organic free range poultry, eggs, tofu, soy products, lentils, legumes in general and rice and corn combined. Dried peas and beans are one of the best sources for you.

2. Whole grains, whole grain breads and whole grain cereals (complex carbohydrates), this would include whole wheat, brown rice, wild rice, oatmeal, cornmeal, rice or corn pastas, quinoa, and popcorn.  Avoid the processed white flours and white rice. Avoid grains that trigger allergic reactions.

3. Fresh seasonal vegetables in general but especially green vegetables.

4. Fresh whole fruits, frozen or canned in water or in natural juices as a secondary source of fruits. Try to stay away from high sugar fruits like grapes.

5. Seeds, like pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, raw nuts, like pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, cashews etc., and nut butters, like cashew, almond, sesame etc.

6. Water either bottled or well filtered. Do not reuse plastic water bottles more than once, they can leach plastic into your system.

DAILY PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATE RATIOS

Type G individuals have a need for a high ratio between the amount of protein (75%) and carbohydrates (25%) you eat on a daily basis. For every portion of complex carbohydrates you need to eat 3 portions of protein. A portion of protein weights about 4-6 ounces and would fit in the palm of your hand. You thrive on proteins and green vegetables and should diminish your intake of carbohydrates. Your body is best served with low amounts of complex carbohydrates and high protein. You would do well avoiding all calcium rich foods such as dairy products.

       PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATE RATIO  3:1

WEIGHT LOSS DIETS THAT MATCH YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY

Based on your Type G profile and your carbohydrate and protein needs we would recommend that you use a low carbohydrate and a high protein diet. These diets are supportive of you body’s basic nutritional needs and match your biochemistry. Dr. Atkins and South Beach diets best match your biochemistry if you should chose to use a diet to lose weight.

EXERCISE

You do best with a moderate exercise program. You exercise best through doing physical activities that you enjoy doing. Swimming, biking, light weight lifting, walking, tennis, and golf are great activities for you

Exercise is not limited to going to a gym. It needs to be incorporated as a part of your lifestyle that you gradually grow into based on your present shape and fitness. Before undertaking any new exercise always consult with your doctor. Walking more is a great way to add exercise into your life style. Take the stairs instead of the elevators. Park at the back end of a parking lot. In particular for your type, exercise is a release from stress and a means to build up endurance. It should be something you look forward to doing.
