Most people are confused as to what they really should be eating, what supplements they should be taking (if any) and what exercise program is right for them. There is a lot of information and out there but how is a person to know which is the right program for them. Every once in a long while a group of scientists discover something truly revolutionary. William Wolcott, author of The Metabolic Typing Diet (Doubleday, 2000), is the world's leading authority on metabolic typing, a revolutionary new scientific dietary technology that enables you to easily optimize your health and fitness by identifying your highly individualized nutritional needs and tailoring your diets accordingly. HealthSmart Nutrition has gone one step further and added supplement, herb, and exercise recommendations which help one get-fit.

Unlike other current dietary approaches, metabolic bio typing uses multiple biochemical or metabolic indicators and identifies patterns among these variables that reveal how a person's system is genetically designed to digest, utilize or "process" specific foods and nutrients. When you eat, your food is digested into simple chemical substances. The nutrients are then passed into your bloodstream where they are metabolized by the liver and then transported to each of every cell in your body. The nutrients are then assimilated into cells and through a specific chemical process they are oxidized for energy.

A good analogy is that your cells are like tiny "engines of metabolism" and the food you eat is the fuel on which each cell runs. Like an engine, your cells require the right fuel mixture of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals in order to function at full efficiency. This means that not only does your body need the right kind of fuel, but it must also get a fuel comprised of the right proportions of nutrients specific metabolic bio type. In order to reach optimal levels of health and fitness, you must consume the right foods in the right proportions.
