The therapeutic expression of Typing and Profiling—including all of its healthful implications—lies within the creation of a fully individualized and customized diet and supplement program. Just knowing that you're a Thyroid Dominant Type with an underactive digestive system and B12 deficiency, for example, isn't going to help you, without a precise nutritional plan to go along with it.
In this chapter, I will treat you as if you were my nutritional client and take you conceptually through the five steps of typing, in order to help you better understand how this process actually works. The end result is the creation of a fully customized nutritional program scientifically matched to your own biochemical uniqueness.
Before I get started typing you, I would like to present a brief overview of some half-hearted attempts in common practice to personalize or individualize nutrition for you. These attempts at personalization are only slightly better than one-size-fits-all nutrition and are extremely limited in scope. They do, however, represent the beginning of the mainstream societal acknowledgment of, demand for, and the acceptance of nutritional personalization. Furthermore, these programs and their anciilary products have historical value, because they have sequentially opened up the door to the next (and final) megatrend in nutrition—the final frontier: personalized nutrition—our only alternative!
