APRIL 17: PERSONALIZED METABOLIC NUTRITION SEMINAR with Dr. Harold J. Kristal and James M. Haig, NC in Seattle, Washington. This seminar teaches health professionals the theory and practice of Metabolic Typing, a revolutionary system of nutritional analysis that allows the practitioner to identify which of two dominant systems (the Oxidative or the Autonomic) and which of four subtypes (Fast or Slow Oxidizer, Sympathetic or Parasympathetic) governs the metabolism of any given individual. Based on this observation, we are able to recommend the appropriate diet and supplement regime specific to the individual's Metabolic Type, to help balance the blood pH and the metabolism, optimize energy production, and promote general health and well-being. Also, JUNE 19 in New York City, NY; AUGUST 28 in San Francisco, California; SEPTEMBER 25 in Chicago, Illinois; OCTOBER 16 in London, England. CONTACT: 800-772-0646 or pmn@bloodph.com
