you know it’s interesting I had a

practice I did what they told me to do

in college where I had people eat eat

less food do the exercise eat better yet

I only had a certain percentage of

people getting results and I asked

myself why you some people get results

and other people don’t because I would I

would get good results on certain things

and I noticed that certain body types

didn’t respond to the diet that I had

them on so I tried different diets I did

high protein I did more vegetarian diets

and that was somewhat successful but one

thing that stood out is that when people

had belly fat the I would haven’t put

doing sit-ups and I would have them do

all sorts of exercise and they would

never lose weight except the ones that

had the protruding belly so I said you

know what there has to be a reason for

this so I started to kind of try to get

more information about what’s inside

that could create that and I knew

something about cortisol but I didn’t

really understand a lot of the time I

mean I studied in school but I didn’t

really connect the dots and I think a

lot of doctors right now don’t connect

the dots so I came across a George

Washington’s medical school’s library

and then they had an offshoot of a

bookstore okay I went in the bookstore

and I was I bought pretty much every

book on endocrinology which is a study

of hormones and I thought maybe maybe

the answer is in the hormones right so I

found a book that was on sale and the

name of the book was called CIPA

encyclopedia of endocrinology vol 4 by

Frank Meador okay so I open this book

and it had all these great graphic

pictures of the body and how the body

worked and I started thumbing through

and I went to hit cortisol I was like oh

my

goodness it had a picture of all these

patients that have been trying to get

rid of their belly fat in the exact

picture of them right there I’m like wow

it’s high cortisol causes belly fat

interesting so it actually causes the

weight to be deposited around the vital

organs as a survival mechanism and I

know this that there’s a whole bunch of

other issues associated with the adrenal

body type you have blood sugar issues

diabetes craving for salty foods you had

excessive thinking memory loss

inflammation that we include all the

pain that people have you have allergies

you have weakness in the legs you have

insomnia you have high blood pressure

all these symptoms and I’m going oh my

goodness this is interesting so then I

started noticing that people that have

belly fat they had allow these

characteristics so I started to develop

kind of a category of different body

types at that point

at that point I only had three body

types it was very funny because I wrote

a book about it and it was like these

cartoon pictures which is it was just a

joke because I actually cut and pasted

em and I but I didn’t really know a

program to help these people until a

little bit later but I started

formulating the the body type concept

and then I found another picture of the

thyroid body type right in this book and

it had all the characteristics it had

weight gain all over it had fatigue it

had loss of the outer eyebrows dry skin

vertical ridges on the nails we had

little indentations on your teeth all

these different symptoms then I scanned

over and I found the ovary potty type

which is heaviness in the weight in the

lower part of the hips like the

saddlebag area little pooch blood

underneath the the stomach with all

sorts of ovarian issues so here I found

three body types that start to formulate

my whole theory about the body type

concepts at that point though I didn’t

know how to deal with it I just knew

that

different problems that I kept running

into with people based on where they

hold weight so then of course I bought

all of the volumes that Frank mannor had

and one of them was the liver type

because I read them all cover to cover

many times and noticed that you had the

guy you ever seen the guy with the beach

and the speedo with the potbelly I’ve

noticed that there was a body type like

that but that wasn’t a fat situation it

was a liver issue that was leaking fluid

into a sac around the abdominal area so

that would make sense because when you

put these people on a lot of dark leafy

greens all that potassium will push the

fluid out and they’ll lose weight real

fast that explained why they got results

and the reason why the adrenal case

didn’t work with the belly fat is

because that was a cortisol situation

and the more exercise that they did the

worse it would get so then I said okay

the problem is not really in the

hormones it’s in the glands the thyroid

the adrenal the liver the ovary so I

said well what would it take to fix the

gland because no one’s talking about the

glam how do you fix a gland

well each gland needs different

nutrients it responds differently the

different foods and for example the

adrenal is the vitamin C reserve the

iodine is needed for the thyroid and

certain cruciferous vegetables are

really good for the ovary so based on

what’s happening to the gland I match

the foods and the exercise that help

heal the glands and that’s what

developed the body type concepts it

started out pulling a string

investigating going deeper deeper and

deeper into the real cause of why people

develop the body type shapes and how to

undo it and so I tested these theories I

modified them I tweaked them for the

last 20 years and it came up with the

body type program that I do now that

I’ve had people all over the world come

my office and they fly in and we help

them so that’s little story of how I can

up with the body types
