Bill Wolcott Interview

Bill Wolcott is passionate about his work in the field of customized nutrition. For over 30 years, he has studied this topic and has trained practioners in over 40 countries in his Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing. In 1987, Bill founded Healthexcel, a technical consulting organization. Bill’s highly specialized expertise in the area of nutritional biochemistry has made Healthexcel the leading edge provider of Metabolic Typing,  training, products and services.

On this week’s Podcast ONL048 (available from iTunes), Bill talks with Jon and me about the Metabolic Typing Diet. His excitement about its benefits for clients is contagious. Metabolic typing is a breakthrough in nutritional science. It is a holistic approach that treats the person, not the condition. As Weston A. Price discovered, there is no one healthy diet. Everyone is different and has unique nutritional needs. This is due to differing rates of cellular metabolism and genetically based requirements. By eating the right food for your type, you can experience ample energy, no food cravings, stable mood, and good mental clarity. Therefore, eating whole, natural foods is not enough if you are reading the wrong kinds of food for you. Even in terms of supplements, different metabolic types respond differently to the same supplement.

Consultation with Linda DeFever

After the interview, Jon and I hooked up with Linda DeFever for a consultation. She is a certified metabolic typing advisor who was trained by Bill Wolcott and Dodie Anderson. Linda is a listener and a Weston A. Price chapter leader. We took the Metabolic Typing questionnaire to determine our metabolic type. We received a detailed report of our test results and recommendations, along with a color-coded sheet that lists our diet plan and the correct proportion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are appropriate for us. We also received Diet Record Check logs so we can easily monitor how our meals impact our energy, mood, and mental clarity. Linda reviewed the plan with me by telephone, but Jon is still looking for a time to schedule his follow up.

Linda is very motivated to assist me in using a modified diet plan to assist me in reducing my chronic inflammation issues. Guidance is important in meeting success with metabolic typing. The end of summer, however, is a very busy and stressful time for me. I need to absorb the information and ease into it when the timing is right for me. I’m very grateful to know that Linda will be there for me when the time is right. While we are still receiving CSA shares and I am trying out recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, it will be hard to plan the best meals. Boy, that sounds like a weak excuse, doesn’t it? Linda also referred me to a local Paul Chek Practioner for when I can return to my exercise routine. Paul Chek is the author of How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy. We’re working on an interview date with Paul for this fall.
