Your BioType is a snapshot of your current health that also offers insight into how you got there. Rather than looking at your body like a machine with discrete parts – think of how conventional medicine sends you from one specialist to another – your BioType is a holistic picture of how the major elements of your biology are working together, right now. If you’re facing health challenges – a sign those elements aren’t working together as they should – your BioType becomes a map, showing you which systems are out of balance and how you can begin to restore them.
Consider weight, for example
Most of us struggle with weight at some point. But even women with the same BMI (both 5’4” and 180 lbs) will each arrive there through their own unique health story. This is because excess weight isn’t just about calories; it’s a signal that multiple systems — metabolism, hormones, digestion, the nervous system, immunity, sleep, movement, and more — are out of balance.
Your Weight BioType identifies your story. The real value isn’t the label itself — it’s that it shows you what to work on first. Is your thyroid the main driver of your weight gain? Or could it be a menopausal hormone shift, adrenal dysfunction, metabolic imbalance, or blood sugar issue? Your path to healthy, lasting weight loss isn’t about cutting calories or crash diets; it’s about restoring your body’s natural ability to self-regulate.
Consider digestive disorders, too
Millions of women have taken our hormonal health surveys, and roughly 60% report significant digestive issues. Like weight, digestive challenges develop over time through a unique interplay of diet, gut bacteria and fungi, neurological function, hormones, immune health, chronic inflammation, movement, and other factors.
Your Digestive BioType helps you see “the big picture” and also which areas need your attention first, helping you to take the right steps to restore balance and reclaim healthy digestive function.
Why don’t doctors use BioType?
The BioType system is designed to guide women based on their own symptoms and health patterns. It isn’t a substitute for regular medical care, but it helps you understand your overall health, how your biology interacts, and what to prioritize to support your body.
Some alternative doctors use this holistic approach, and conventional medicine is slowly moving in this direction. But most of modern medicine still focuses on isolated systems, lab tests, and drug therapies — often assuming women won’t make lifestyle changes, relying instead on medications to manage symptoms and side effects.
What’s the science behind BioType testing?
BioType is grounded in both scientific theory and practical knowledge. Here are the guiding principles:
- Everything in your body is connected — from cells to organs to systems, including the bacteria and fungi of your microbiome.
- Your body self-regulates in a marvelously complex way, with billions of signals and actions occurring every moment.
- Many factors — including lifestyle choices, diet, stress, and environmental exposures — can disrupt this regulation.
- Dysregulation often starts subtly, appearing as conditions or mild symptoms, then progressing to more serious damage, disease, or premature aging over time.
- Imbalances are rarely isolated. For instance, high cholesterol could result from chronic stress and elevated cortisol in one woman, poor gut health in another, or hormonal shifts after menopause. Medications like statins address the symptom, but not the root causes. It’s your BioType that helps pinpoint those underlying factors.
- Conventional medicine tends to be reactive, dividing the body into separate systems for diagnosis and treatment, often addressing only acute issues rather than foundational health habits.
- One key part of your body’s self-regulation is homeostasis, the equilibrium it tries to maintain. When dysregulation occurs, your body may defend an unhealthy “balance.” Take blood sugar balance for example. Chronic stress, poor sleep, or diet imbalances can push your body to raise insulin to stabilize blood sugar. Initially, this works — your body is maintaining balance — but over time, this “balance” can lead to insulin resistance, weight gain, and fatigue.
BioType categorization connects the dots to reveal the main factors driving the imbalances behind your symptoms. By identifying these priorities, it gives you a clear roadmap to restore your body’s natural self-regulation and reclaim healthy balance.
