Theory of metabolic patterns
Serializing chapters from: More “Oomph,” Nature’s Plan for Human Physical Wellness Thru Metabolic Typing (2023)
A comprehensive, top to bottom, holistic re-visioning of mainstream healthcare is coming — in 50–100 years.
To manifest, what has to change? A new healthcare paradigm has to tell a more workable, more useful story of illness~wellness than the Germ Theory of Pathology.
In the 2020s it’s possible to make headway on this project. Perhaps for the first time, the idea of educator, John-Roger, “health from the inside out,” can be defined as a set of biomarkers outlining optimal physical wellness.
In old medical schools, the details of biochemistry, pathology and drug interactions quickly take over everything else worth lerning.
The New Medicine, New Healthcare, coming resembles naturopathy more. It benefits learners to start like this:
1) Learn the vision of Nature’s Plan for human physical wellness,
2) How this translates down into the known, main mechanisms of human metabolism, possible to measure non-invasively on each and every person universally,
3) This then leads to the metabolic patterns uncovered so far within each metabolic mechanism. This isn’t mysterious. The patterns are categories of variation from Nature’s ideal biomarkers in each mechanism, hyper-, hypo- and balanced. Each major metabolic mechanism has its own set of optimal biomarkers, numerical values for optimal homeostatic balance for each metabolic mechanism,
4) Finally, the natural, rhythmic variation of some of these biomarkers, over a 24 hour period (biorhythms, chronobiology). Urine pH being the starting place to discuss this.
Make sense?
Q: When are biochemistry and pathology prioritized?
A: Biochemistry is of interest. However healthcare based on Nature’s Plan provides three broad categories of biochemistry. Each individual will fall into one of only three categories: hyper-, hypo- and balanced. The descriptive details and biomarkers for each ctegory will vary depending on which metabolic system is of highest priority to address: the breathing mechanism, the digestive mechanism, the assimmilation mechanism, the eliminative mechanism and so on.
Similarly learing pathology is supported by two categories: hyper- and hypo-.
With each client, sooner or later enuf biomarkers are collected to conclude which basic metabolic mechanisms are hyper-, hypo- or balanced. This readout of which systems are hyper-, hypo- and balanced is your somewhat unique metabolic individuality. This is your startign metabolic profile. The need then is to moderate the hype mechanisms, stumulte the hypo mechanisms; and, support the balanced mechanisms. Once written down — if I can use an Eastern word here — this becomes each client’s ‘metabolic dharma.’ The more food, supplement and lifestyle recommendations you can follow, the more liekly a client is to move all their biomarkers towards optimal numerical value for each metabolic system.

Make sense? Feel free to read the above again. Have suggestions for how to make this simpler and more clar? Plese contact me.
This leads to the numerical biomarker values for the optimal homeostatic balance of each of these mechanisms. se the known kinds and amounts of foods your metabolic system thrives on.
- Theory of metabolic patterns
This is simple. Each of our metabolic functions has only three possible expressions:
- a hyper-state (over-doing),
- a hypo-state (under-doing, or

- a balanced state (already producing optimal physical vitality).
Any questions so far?
Q: So which am I, hyper, hypo, or balanced?
A: You might have noticed the plural word “functions” above, more than one function.
Each primary function can be either hyper, hypo, or balanced. This means different people are hyper, hypo or balanced in different functions. These differences give each person a somewhat unique functions profile, your own unique metabolic pattern.
Make sense so far?
Q: How do I address my unbalanced functions?
A: Your hyper functions need to be moderated and modulated. Your hypo functions need to be stimulated. Your balanced functions need to be supported.
Q: Is this like a bell curve graph?
A: Yes. Each of your five metabolic functions has a hyper-, hypo- and balanced range:
g-bell curve
Q: Is the middle, balanced, green zone related to homeostasis?
A: Yes it is. More on homeostasis is further below.
Q: When my healthcare practitioner hands me my chart of balanced and unbalanced metabolic functions, what can I do with it?
A: Naturally attention goes to your most unbalanced functions, hyper and hypo.
In Metabolic Typing, imbalance is primarily treated by changing diet and taking pancreatic enzymes. Which diet? Metabolic Typing is so far, the only modality I know of which categorizes different diets by metabolic type (See Rasmussen pages 197–212). Consider the two extreme metabolic types:
- The all fat, all protein Eskimo diet; and
- The all carbs, all fruit diet of people living in the hottest lands on Earth’s Equator.
In the USA and Europe, each of us is a mixture of these two types. At the minimum we need our own ratio of vegetables, whole grains, fats and high quality animal protein. Dr. Gonzalez’s three-hour video also goes over how different diets work for different metabolic types. See references below.
Choosing drink and food which modulate your hyper and hypo functions brings your biomarkers back into their healthy “green” A Reference Range. The more functions in their A Reference Range, the more physical “oomph” you experience, the more vitality, get up and go you have.
Because metabolic activity is invisible to our naked eyes, metabolism seems complex. The good news is, your unbalanced metabolic functions can be improved primarily using drink, diet and nutritive supplements. This keeps metabolism simple and manageable.
Q: So where’s a list of primary metabolic functions; I want to see them.
A: They are further below. We’ve found it’s better to explain one single function in its hyper, hypo and balanced expressions first. Then even if you flunked biochemistry like me, once you understand the three ranges of one function, this pattern applies to all metabolic functions.
