No One Diet Works for Everyone!
Your Eating Plan for Life: An Individualized Nutrition Plan Designed Especially for You

EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR DIET TYPE

What is Diet Type?
Did you ever wonder why some people appear to have really fast metabolisms, enabling them to eat everything and never gain weight, where others are so slow that they eat like birds and never lose weight? Some people wake up ravenous in the morning, and others grab a cup of coffee and do not feel hungry until the afternoon.

These and other interesting facts occur because of Individual Diet Types. Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Services has developed the different variables to determine your individual diet type. Through this testing you will learn how to eat according to your diet type and be able to choose what foods are right for you. We have developed five different diet plans that we call the Hauser Diets #1-5. Are you a Lion, Otter, Bear, Monkey, or a Giraffe?

Balancing your body chemistry will help you feel better, achieve optimum health, and prevent disease.

The benefits of eating according to your diet type are not just weight loss. Diet Typing to balance your body chemistry can give you a new outlook on life – helping with conditions such as weight problems, chronic fatigue, allergies, chronic pain, diabetes, heart disease, and rheumatologic disease, just to name a few.

Caring Medical analyzes these variables to determine your individual diet type:

  • Blood pH
  • Oxidative Rate

Blood pH:
The blood pH is the level of acidity or alkalinity. We have done a lot of research on this topic at Caring Medical, and have observed a multitude of patients over the years. Our physicians utilize blood pH as a means of testing basic metabolic physiology in our patients. Interestingly enough, we have found that subtle changes in blood pH can have profound affects on your overall health, feeling of wellness, level of fatigue, pain, weight, and a myriad of other conditions.

What is normal pH?
Our pH meter at Caring Medical shows a normal blood pH level at about 7.50-7.52. The normal range will vary depending on the pH meter. The pH of the body, as you can see, has a very narrow range for normal levels. Small fluctuations of 0.10 increments can produce profound changes in the body.

Many factors can change pH and effect how you should eat. When the blood pH is acidic (low), you should be eating more like a Hauser Diet #1 or 2 or similar to the Lion-Otter Type Diets. When your blood pH is alkaline, you should be eating more vegetarian, like Hauser Diets #4 and 5 or the Monkey-Giraffe Type Diets. A neutral pH means that you should be eating more of a balanced diet, such as a Hauser Diet #3 or the Bear Type Diet. However, pH alone does not fully determine your Diet Type. Read on…

Oxidative Rate
Oxidative rate tells us how quickly or slowly you metabolize (or oxidize) food. A modified glucose tolerance test is done. After fasting for 12-15 hours, you will be given 50 grams of carbohydrate in the form of a fruit drink. Your blood sugars are then taken with a fingerstick test every half-hour for ninety minutes. The extremes of oxidative rates are seen in diabetes (slow oxidizer) and hypoglycemia (fast oxidizer). Fast oxidizers require more protein in general, where slow oxidizers require more carbohydrates.

Food Allergy Testing
Getting a food allergy test is also important when determining your personal diet. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to a particular food it could be causing symptoms like low energy, headaches, inability to heal properly, mental fog, weight gain, and many other symptoms. It is sometimes hard to know you have a food allergy, but once you get rid of a food allergy you will notice the difference. Our food allergy test will test for 190 of the most popular foods. This way we can appropriately determine the right Hauser diet for you and what foods you need to eliminate from you diet that could be causing you other health problems.

Diet Typing Questionnaire
In addition to the blood testing, we need to know how you feel when you eat certain foods. A diet typing questionnaire will be given to you to fill out during your testing. The answers to the questions in the questionnaire, along with the results of your testing will help us determine which Hauser Diet is most appropriate for your optimal health.

Summary
We are excited for you! We hope that knowing your individual Diet Type will help you improve your health. Give us a call today at 708-848-7789.
