Oct 30, 2018 2:45pm By Karen Fittall From workouts to how well you respond to certain medications, health is becoming personalised - and that includes your diet.

The concept that we all digest and metabolise food differently based on our genes first made headlines in the late 70s when William Wolcott, a metabolic researcher, discovered a relationship between the bodys oxidative system (which determines how quickly your body converts food into energy) and the autonomic nervous system (which regulates involuntary actions).

We get that. (Image: CBS) I became interested in metabolic typing when I realised I wasnt getting results with around 50 per cent of my clients by following accepted dietary guidelines, says Elizabeth Orme, a nutritionist and metabolic typing practitioner.

And I was fascinated why some people could experience reduced cholesterol levels while still eating a lot of meat and dairy.

It made me look for something that took the view that different people metabolise foods differently.

Powered by GIPHY Eating for your metabolic type There are six metabolic types in total; theyre known as parasympathetic, autonomic balanced, sympathetic, slow oxidiser, mixed oxidiser and fast oxidiser.

The proportion of protein, carbohydrates and fats, as well as specific foods youre advised to eat, depends on what type you are.

So, if youre a fast oxidiser, we advise eating a high-protein, high healthy-fat diet but not too many fruits and vegetables, says Orme.

On the other hand, slow oxidisers do best on just a small amount of protein but plenty of fruit and vegetables.

We dont ban whole food groups, but it is a matter of eating the right mix of protein, carbohydrates and fats to suit your metabolic type.

Compared to the picture we all have of a healthy diet, some of the diets can seem quite unbalanced.

But the thing to remember is that everyone also has a subtype, so after youve incorporated the main dietary advice, most people can start to introduce small amounts of other foods, if they like, which makes the diets less restrictive and more balanced.

But each type does have one or two foods that theyre advised not to eat.

For example, fast oxidisers shouldnt touch soy products they just dont do well on them, says Orme.

Whats the benefit When youre eating the right food for your metabolic type, youll feel and function better, says Orme, thanks to the way different foods affect the pH of your body.

Some reported benefits include increased energy levels, better mood and a stronger immune system.

The benefit of balancing your pH is particularly noticeable for people who, without knowing it, are eating very differently to what their metabolic type actually needs or who arent in the best health to start with.

Generally, it tends to be slow, gradual weight loss once youre eating the right food for your type, your body metabolises the food you feed it more efficiently and weight loss can result from that.

TAKE THE QUIZ: How healthy are you really A certified metabolic typing practitioner will ask you to complete a professional, online questionnaire.

Until around 2006, many practitioners worked out your type by putting you through two to three hours of clinical testing, says Orme.

You need an assessment by a metabolic typing practitioner to find out which metabolic type (and subtype) you are, but your answers to these questions will give you a few clues.

Eating the right food for your metabolic type will make you feel and function better.
