Questions-

What does the metabolic typing test involve?
The metabolic typing test involves answering 150 questions which examine your physiology and biochemistry. These questions are related to your physical, psychological and dietary related traits.

Through years of research the combined analysis of these questions is able to reveal where your underlying control systems are currently lying and what foods you must eat to bring them into balance.

When you balance your internal systems you will you lose body fat, increase energy and improve your overall health.

Do you take blood tests?
No, we do not take blood tests. They reveal only of what is happening in the blood. It does not tell us about the cells or other tissue levels. For example, normal calcium levels in the blood does not tell us what the levels are in the cells and bones, which is where the calcium is needed.

The metabolic typing test looks at the body across all levels to reveal your overall pattern of functioning. This allow us to calculate exactly what foods your body needs, this is called your metabolic type.

Can anyone work with you?
Yes I am happy to work with anyone if you are prepared to do all the elements I teach. I have managed to combine metabolic typing ,exercise, Emotional freedom technique (EFT) and other mental techniques into a very effective programme.

After working with many many people I now realize that without addressing the mind with Emotional freedom technique (EFT) and other strategies success is limited for the average person. Therefore I only work with people who are prepared to do EFT and look at their mind set.

I prefer working with someone who has a specific goal. I love clients who have a target amount of weight to lose or an athletic performance they want to achieve. Any specific goal excites me. If we are working face to face doing personal training here in Clap ham, London, then it is very important that our personalities are suited to each other.

Where can I meet you? / How can I work with you if I live far away?
I am available for personal training in the Clapham, Battersea, Wimbledon or Chelsea area of South West London.

I am available for emotional freedom technique therapy (EFT) by phone anywhere in the UK or in the Clapham and surrounding areas of south west London areas.

If you live further a field then you can still work with me through my online course. I have had some great results with previous clients working with me in this way.

Can I just do the Metabolic typing / Exercise or Emotional freedom technique bits of your service?
Yes, but almost every goal must have a combination of nutrition, exercise and the mind to get results. So leaving any of these out could greatly reduce the chances of success.

I will do EFT therapy on it's own for certain specific issues, e.g. phobias, clearing emotional events, PTSD etc but it must be incorporated to the nutrition and exercise for weight loss goals.

The on line course lasts ten weeks. My Personal training programme is designed for you to achieve your goals. You can work with me for as long or as short as this process takes.

Does everyone get results?
Yes and no, everyone who follows the techniques I teach will get results. In my experience the key is your mind set. If you are prepared to use EFT and the other techniques it is almost impossible to not get some great results. This is especially important for those working on line as I cannot see you to check on progress.

When I last reviewed the success of the online course I had a 90% success rate for those who kept in contact with me throughout the ten week course. However significant numbers dropped out before the ten weeks were up. This would never happen if they had followed the mental strategies. That is why it is a pre requisites of doing the online course.

When will I see results?
I can guarantee weight loss to those clients who are overweight. The magnitude and speed of the results is specific to the person involved. If you follow your nutritional routine and implement the lifestyle techniques discussed you will in the long term experience new levels of health, shape and vitality. In some people 'results' are instant while others it takes time to emerge. The speed of results depends very much upon your present state today and the unique way you react to the program.

Saying this I would expect to see body fat lost within the first four weeks. For some people this is substantial.

What evidence is there for it?
The evidence for unique nutritional needs is comprehensive. The fact we all look different on the outside points to the fact it is completely irrational to expect us to be the same on the inside.

Examples of how we are each unique can be seen when two people eat similar foods but only one of them puts on weight. Another example is how only some people get ill when the usual office bug goes around.

These are all sure signs that your bodies are different which point to the fact you should also be eating a diet specific to that body.

These are few of the many examples that could be sited which include thousands of research articles. (Read biochemical individuality by Dr Roger Williams for complete overview).

What research has bee done on your methods?
The nutrition system, metabolic typing, has evolved over the last 30 years and has been performed on over 60 000 people throughout the world. It is now the most sophisticated nutrition system available.

Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is the fastest growing branch of psychology today with tens of thousands of case studies showing it's effectiveness.

The exercise advice comes from the research and related theories of by pioneers across the globe including both leading Eastern block and American sports scientists and researchers.

Are there any side effects?
The biggest side effects are improved energy, health, weight loss and mental well-being. Sometimes the body can experience negative effects when reducing and discontinuing carbohydrates, caffeine and other substances. The supplements can also induce a detoxification effect which again can cause some negative feelings. I aim to keep such feelings to a minimum.

Will it cure my xxx?
No, it will not cure your xxx. But it could possibly help it. The majority of illnesses and health complaints come because the body has been knocked out of balance in one or more of its underlying controls systems.

Through re-balancing this control system (s) you will see an improvement in overall health and well being. At this point you will hopefully see an improvement in your specific health problem.

Whether it resolves an issue completely is depends upon the causes. My personal view is to not worry about this condition or that but instead focus on doing everything you can to improve your nutrition, exercise and emotional health and then see where that leaves you.

As you can see from the case studies of people I have worked with it often produces great changes in the body.

Must I follow the guidelines?
Yes, failing to follow the program will inhibit the results. I do this job to help people get their results and improve the quality of their life. At the same time I have realistic expectations and all my advice is aimed at being something you can maintain long term.

The nutritional analysis will tell us what your body needs to function optimally. You must follow these to get optimal results. Vegetarians are an interesting case. I cannot control the requirements of your body or the results we get, if your body needs the nutrients found within meats then I must advise this to be consumed. It is then your decision as to whether you can follow such advice.

What supplements do you recommend?
The metabolic typing test recommends certain supplements as specified for your metabolic type. The numbers of supplements are kept to a minimum and are used to optimize digestion and make up for the short fall of any nutrients in your food supply.

Whether you want to take them is up to you but they provide a fantastic push to your body once you get the nutrition in place so it is highly recommended. The cost of these could be estimated to range from £100 - £150 during the course.

For people who are against taking supplements I would suggest you try them and if you do not feel better on them then stop.
