AUGUST 23: PERSONALIZED METABOLIC NUTRITION SEMINARS with Dr. Harold J. Kristal in San Diego, California. This seminar teaches health professionals the theory and practice of Metabolic Typing, a revolutionary nutritional system based on the observation that one of two fundamental homeostatic control mechanisms dominates the metabolism of any given individual. By correctly identifying the dominant system (the oxidative or the autonomic), as well as the relevant subtype (fast or slow oxidizers, sympathetic or parasympathetic) we are able to recommend the appropriate diet and supplement regime specific to each individual's metabolic type, to balance the blood pH and the metabolism, optimize energy production, and promote well being.
