People are unique in more ways than we can see. Stomachs and other internal organs come in many different shapes and sizes. Digestive juices, too, can vary dramatically from one person to another Thus, according to author William Linz Wolcott, founder of Healthexcel, a company that provides metabolic typing for individuals, it stands to reason that different foods have very different effects on different people.

Wolcott believes that tailoring your diet to your body's particular quirks--metabolic typing--will improve digestion, circulation, immunity, energy, and mood. To determine your type, he has you take a 65-question test (the questions range from nose moisture to how you feel about potatoes), then place yourself in one of three categories: protein type, carbo type, or mixed type.

The protein type is instructed to eat a diet that's 40 percent protein, 30 percent fat, and 30 percent carbs. The carbo type gets 60 percent carbs, 25 percent protein, and 15 percent fat. And the mixed type should consume 50 percent carbs, 30 percent protein, and 20 percent fat, although this type has to play with the ratios a little more to find the optimal mix.

Although The Metabolic Typing Diet is based on information from researchers the majority of the public will never have heard of, Wolcott makes a strong case that it's all based on common sense: most of the dietary problems we have come from ignoring the foods that make us feel satisfied and energetic in favor of ones that we feel we're supposed to eat, or foods that we eat in desperation because our last meal left us hungry or lethargic. If we just eat the foods that make us feel right, Wolcott argues, we'll never feel like things have gone horribly wrong. --Lou Schuler.

There's no doubt about it-people with heart disease lack energy. The heart needs a large amount of oxygenated blood flow to continuously meet it huge energy demands That's where the new triad of cardiac health comes in-CoQ10, carnitine, and ribose. The synergistic combination of these energy-supplying nutrients maximizes the amount of oxygen that the heart and skeletal muscle can extract from the blood by accelerating the rate at which cells convert nutrients into energy. In "The Sinatra Solution", board-certified cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra discusses the importance of energy metabolism on cardiovascular health and the positive impact these three energy-supplying nutrients have on the cardiovascular system. Dr.Sinatra knows that undestanding energy metabolism in the heart is critical to devising effective therapies for treating heart disease. He guides readers through he basics of energy metabolism and cardiac bioenergetics, and clearly explains the role of ribose, carintine, and CoQ10 in the body and specifically how they affect heart health. He presents concise and informative case histories and scientific studies that demonstrate the important contribution the supplemental use of these energy-supplying nutrients makes in the lives of people with heart disease every day. While the main focus of "The Sinatra Solution" is on improving heart health, this book also touches upon the positive effect the triad has on other diseases and disorders. Readers will learn how these miraculous nutrients work throughout the body, essentially charging up evry body cell to function at optimal capacity..

As doctors face new epidemics of heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes, medical researcher James B. LaValle, R.Ph., C.C.N., N.D., offers a compelling new approach to solving these and other problems, including depression, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The answers lie in his breakthrough book, Cracking the Metabolic Code, in which he brings together the Nine Key Factors within every human body that are essential for the creation and maintenance of a strong, healthy body at every age and stage of life. The Nine Key Factors include: The Pancreas The Adrenals The Thyroid/Pituitary/Sex Organs The Intestines The Organs of Detoxification Oxygen Food, Vitamins, and Minerals Water Enzymes Not only does Dr. LaValle reveal how each of these Nine Key Factors contributes to health, balance, and longevity, he also shows how readers can achieve optimum interactions between them, enabling the body to fight disease, restore balance, and maintain long-term health. As a special feature, Dr. LaValle provides a section of "Guidelines for Healthy Eating" based on twenty years of clinical results. Readers will learn how their nutritional choices (Key Factor Number Seven) can influence such factors as endocrine function, toxicity, and a healthy immune system. Although there are thousands of books on disease prevention and health restoration, only Dr. LaValle has identified the Nine Key Factors as a means to create health, vitality, and longevity. Cracking the Metabolic Code offers a roadmap to a powerful new body chemistry-one that will enable readers to create a healthier physical, mental, and emotional lifestyle..

What constitutes healthy eating, and a healthy weight, has become a hugely complex—and too often vexing—question for those looking to discover, attain, and maintain their ideal weight. The Nutrition Solution takes a fresh approach Based on the idea that no single diet is universally applicable to everyone, the book first shows readers how to determine their body type. Next, Dr. Kristal, who runs a nutritional clinic, outlines the appropriate diet for each type, including which foods to include and which to avoid. Dr. Kristal worked extensively with William Wolcott, the originator of metabolic typing, and draws on scientific studies to show struggling dieters the way to practical, healthful eating for each metabolic type. Included are detailed strategies for finding freedom from out-of-control food cravings—the downfall of many a dieter..

The Metabolic Syndrome Program

How to Lose Weight, Beat Heart Disease, Stop Insulin Resistance and More

Big Belly? High Body Mass Index? High Blood Pressure?

If this sounds like you, you may be one of the millions of North Americans with Metabolic Syndrome. Predicted by medical experts as the likely number one risk factor for heart disease-Metabolic Syndrome, or MSX, describes a constellation of conditions, including those mentioned above, of which the body' resistance to insulin is a primary feature. A byproduct of obesity, 25 percent of the adult U.S. population is now estimated to have MSX.

The Metabolic Syndrome Program offers readers a sensible lifestyle-based approach to treating MSX. One of the first books to name and address this condition, The Metabolic Syndrome Program outlines a realistic plan of treatment-without magic pills or quick-fixes to a growing and little-known threat to public health.

The Metabolic Syndrome Program includes:

• Facts about MSX, the risk factors associated with it and its impact on your overall health
• The role of nutrition in combating MSX
• The truth about fats, carbs and proteins and the balance needed to maintain optimal health
• All the latest research on insulin resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension and Cardiovascular disease-the worst outcomes of metabolic syndrome
• Detailed information on natural supplements that can be used to combat the risk factors of MSX
• Recipes and meal plans that will help you make the immediate lifestyle changes required if you are one of the millions at risk for MSX

"Karlene Karst has done an excellent job outlining the seriousness of obesity and insulin resistance, and their ensuing complications,while providing a nutrition and lifestyle action plan to help you get back to the basics of good health." 

—Sam Graci, author of the Path to Phenomenal Health and The Food Connection.

"The Metabolic Syndrome Program provides an effective comprehensive solution by detailing a clear, rational approach to a complex topic."

—Michael T. Murray, N.D., co-author of the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine..

Metabolism at a Glance is a complete review course of metabolism in health and disease and offers a unique approach to the study of this difficult discipline.

Metabolism is a complicated subject involving complex molecules and interrelated pathways. These metabolic pathways are usually taught separately with the result that the student develops a detailed but compartmentalised approach to metabolism and frequently fails to see the overall picture and its physiological significance.

Using the at a Glance format, the book takes the student through a complete course in intermediary metabolism in an integrated manner. The same chart is repeated throughout the book with the individual pathway under study highlighted.

The book is an ideal text for introductory biochemistry courses and has established itself as an enormously popular book amongst lecturers and students alike. This third edition is fully updated and includes five new chapters to mirror those topics currently taught at undergraduate level:

1. Metabolic Channelling

2. Glucose homeostasis and Reye's Disease

3. Pentose phosphate pathway and the prodcution of NADPH

4. Tryptophan metabolism in health and disease

5. Tyrosine metabolism in health and disease.
