What’s Your Type? “Your genetic type is fixed at conception, but right now your adaptive metabolic type, like your adaptive immune system, is largely under your control...”
By Jim LeBeau, Certified Natural Health Practitioner September 2024 Are you a fast oxidizer, slow, or just right? Hyper, hypo, or balanced? Are you a low en- ergy person, high energy (HEP), or “mixed” metabolic type? By adjusting your metabo- lism with foods, drinks, supplements, herbs etc. you may experience the blessings of more “good energy,” a stronger immune sys- tem, and more peace of body, mind, and soul. Extremes in metabolic balance can be tragic, risks going up with age. Your genetic type is fixed at conception, but right now your adaptive metabolic type, like your adap- tive immune system, is largely under your control. The key word is balance. First, let’s consider dangers of extremes beginning with hyper, high strung, high en- ergy types (maybe too high) that can’t sit still. It’s common in the young but may also afflict the old. You may be a workaholic so fixated on one thing you don’t have time for anything else including listening to God. Your systemic pH likely tends acid and au- tonomic nervous system to the sympathetic (SNS fight or flight) side. You’re metaboli- cally stressed, a problem for digestion. You may not have a weight problem since you burn calories fast but you’re susceptible to burnout, maybe exhaustion, as alkaline re- serves run down and adrenals weaken or give up. Beyond burnout is burn- up or “spontaneous human combustion.” While very rare and historically connected to alco- hol Dr. Peshek connects this to phosphagen that depends on the acid element phospho- rous that modern day humans often get too much of in processed foods and soda drinks with added phosphates.
always do their jobs if in the right quantity and quality. There is “Christ the same, yes- terday, today, and forever.” Our saving grace even includes a standard constant for body systems that run the show. Our knowledge of these systems is now such that we know their values and how to use God’s creation to align them with higher constant powers. Five systems to test and balance at home — yes balance — are pH; digestion; blood sugar; body temperature; blood pressure. God did not create “chaos.” He made earth “to be inhabited” Isaiah 45:17-18. A bad guy planted weeds in the night but Jesus said, “Be wise as serpents.” He also said “Love the Lord your God with all your heart.” Using the powers of creation to stay well and heal ourselves helps us in that. Among those powers are brains we use to understand His words and learn how to use His works for wholeness of being. Nutri- tion-for-life helps with biochemical and meta- bolic balance.
look at issues with the more common slow metabolizer hypo and mixed types. These tend to have weight issues that get worse with passing years up to a point. That “point” could be a point of no return if the first symp- tom of toxicity is a fatal heart attack due to clogged arteries or a blood clot. Less severe symptoms of a hypo metabolism usually come first, also pH and digestion connected. Your pH may be in the ballpark or off either way. You won’t know unless you test urine and saliva with low cost litmus paper. Meta- bolically you tend parasympathetic (PSNS rest and digest) dominant even if emotionally “sympathetic.” You have a good appetite, maybe too good. That works until stresses caused by excess pounds, a sluggish colon, clogged liver and arteries, and poor elimination tip the scales to a crisis. Now you have an op- portunity to correct bad habits and let God help you to wholeness, “good energy,” and balance — or you seek medical care hoping it completely solves the problem but doesn’t. Ultimately you may succumb to any of hun- dreds of diseases related to biochemical im- balances, congestion, toxicity, fatigue, missed key deficiencies, and ignorance as mitochondria “energy factories” and body
systems fail.
After looking at the extremes you may think it a good idea to get balanced metabol- ically. That should be easy right? Maybe not. Since we are as unique in chemistry and metabolism as in genes and lifestyles, there are billions of mixed “normal” possibilities. Now you wonder if there is any saving grace in all this or is it too much to figure out? Relax. Under, before, and beyond all vari- ables and differences of perception and ex- perience are constants — praise God! Some constants are fixed like the magnetic field of the earth. There’s gravity and earth and solar cycles. The heavens (stars) touch us not only by de- claring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1) but by their constant energy. Other constants are chemical like elements that control pH, and biochemical like vitamins and nutrients that
The gospels give us truth to fulfill life’s pur- pose. What more to ask for?
