Using this tool, we create your Metabolic Profile, the results of which are similar in ways to the popular Myers Briggs test. Each individual falls into different percentiles of four main categories.
Each category corresponds to different metabolic causes of weight gain. For example, you may be struggling with satiation issues for which a different medication may be appropriate compared to individuals who struggle with a food addiction.
