4 Reasons Why You Need to be Body Typed

S. Cornelia Franz, MD

Ask any of my patients and their families and they will tell you that when you come see us at The Franz Center, there will always be a conversation about The Body Type System. Based on 6000 years of Chinese tradition and medicine, The Body Type System consists of an expert identifying your specific, physical traits and determining the correct foods that fit the “blueprint” of your body. You could be fire, wood, water, earth or metal, and either yin or yang. 

Once your body type is identified, you are provided with information on what foods you should be eating regularly and what foods to avoid. By following your own blueprint, you will notice significant changes in your health and wellness.

Here are four ways The Body Type System will improve your life:

  1. When you follow your body type, you will notice an increase in your energy. Do you often feel sluggish? Is it difficult to get through the work day? Maybe when people ask you how you are, you give the same answer: I’m tired. Everything you eat is energy. When we are eating the foods that fit our body’s energetic needs, the body restores its function and you feel better.
  2. Chronic issues that you have been experiencing may lesson or completely disappear. We have had patients follow their body type and they no longer suffer from eczema, allergies, arthritis and asthma. The reason why this happens is because, like I mentioned earlier, when you are feeding your body the right energy, you allow yourself to heal and restore function.
  3. You don’t get sick. The truth is, we are always exposed to germs. We get sick from those germs when our immune system is weak or dysfunctional. Following The Body Type Diet strengthens your immune system and protects us as it was meant to do.
  4. You become more mindful of what you put in your mouth. In a culture that is heavily centered around eating and drinking, we are not always fully aware of what we are consuming. When you have a specific diet for your body type, you are more in control – because you have to be! We become more in the present moment and we can sense how we feel in our body.
