MTEC – A Unique Education and Resource Center
Welcome to the Metabolic Typing Education Center (MTEC), headquartered in La Jolla, California.
We provide a broad range of educational programs and services for health professionals and health consumers throughout the United States.
Increasingly, health experts worldwide are recognizing that there are profound limitations in the traditional "one size-fits-all" approach to diet and nutrition. For genetic reasons, people are all very different from one another on a biochemical level - in the way that our bodies process foods and utilize nutrients. As a result we all have highly individualized dietary and nutritional requirements.
In order to be truly healthy and fit, we all need to discover our unique biochemical or metabolic needs, and then tailor our diets in a manner that will effectively support those needs. Metabolic Typing is a very innovative science and exciting new dietary technology that enables anyone to do just that.
As a rapidly emerging discipline within the field of nutritional science, Metabolic Typing offers many things to many people. For physicians, dentists, naturopaths, chiropractors, nutritionists and other licensed clinicians, Metabolic Typing provides exceptional new professional opportunities. By enabling clinicians to evaluate the highly individualized dietary requirements of their patients and clients, Metabolic Typing unleashes the real power inherent in nutritional science.
For many years, nutrition-oriented clinicians everywhere have been extremely frustrated by their inability to identify dietary solutions that are consistently effective. The most common problem that professionals have is this: a dietary solution that works well for one person often has no effect on another person, and may make a third person worse. The reason for this is simply that modern nutritional science has lacked the ability to identify or predict what it is that makes one person different from another in terms of dietary need.
Fortunately, Metabolic Typing solves this serious, frustrating dilemma. It's a proven dietary technology that takes the guesswork out of nutritional science -- for health consumers as well as health professionals. Why? Because even though Metabolic Typing is a broad and ever-expanding academic discipline, it's also a very simple dietary method that anyone can use to optimize their health by customizing or tailoring a nutritional regime to their own unique body chemistry.
Since Metabolic Typing has so much to offer on so many levels, we at MTEC offer educational services that are tailored to peoples' individualized needs. Whether you are a clinician or a health educator seeking to offer customized nutrition services to your patients or clients, or simply a health-conscious consumer looking for effective new ways to dramatically improve the way you look and feel, we have educational products and services that will fit your particular needs.
MTEC offers everything from introductory educational programs and tutorials to very advanced tutorials, seminars and workshops. All of our educational material is based on the work of leading scientists and researchers who pioneered the area of customized nutrition throughout the twentieth century, including William L. Wolcott, who is today widely regarded as the world's foremost authority in Metabolic Typing.
The Purpose of MTEC
The Metabolic Typing Education Center exists to educate you in the rapidly advancing field of tailoring your diet to your own unique and ever changing needs. These needs are not met by "one diet for everybody" dietary programs. MTEC helps you discover your own path to health and longevity, and maintain that path as your body changes over time.
