Your Body Type &

Imbalances
In functional & integrative medicine, symptoms never appear separate from one another. Instead,
symptoms appear in recognizable groups and patterns called biocharacteristics. The rst step in
restoring health & wellness is classifying symptoms by their biocharacteristics, so the inter-
relationship between symptoms becomes easily recognizable. Functional Ayurveda uses 3 body
types (doshas) and 20 biocharacteristics (gunas) to group together and classify symptoms, with
particular attention to root causes. Usually, the patterns and tendencies identi ed are chronic,
leading to diseases of a similar nature again and again.

After identifying your imbalances, your practitioner will o er recommendations to counteract these
tendencies, restoring balanced health & wellness. Recommendations often include advice about
which foods to favor and avoid, as well as herbs to take. This method can be used to optimize
performance and support your body, often reducing the risk of disease, reducing the severity of a
condition, improving the prognosis, or improving the quality of life of a person with an incurable
disease.

Your results are derived from the quizzes and consultation forms information you have
provided. The more information you provide, the more accurate your results.

The information in your results is for educational purposes only and should not be used to
diagnose or treat a medical condition. We cannot guarantee accuracy of your results, including but
not limited to data entry as well as analysis. Please check with your medical doctor before
changing any aspects of your diet or lifestyle.

Your Body Type (Dosha)

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over
again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type
summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently
challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve
your strength and resiliency. Your body type identi es physical and mental characteristics as well
as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your
medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated,
hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to
be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily in amed. Anabolic individuals tend to
store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have
congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

Based on the results you provided, your body type is a combination of Anabolic
(accumulates, slow use of energy - called Kapha in Ayurveda) and Metabolic (burns up,
easily overheated - called Pitta in Ayurveda). Dual body types like yours tend to have more
stable health than individuals with a single dominant body type. Avoid foods that aggravate these
two tendencies. Your constitution is written Ayurvedically as V2P3K3

For accurate assessment, meet with an quali ed Ayurveda clinician.

Dominant Biocharacteristics

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which
characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct
imbalances before you get sick. Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot
balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite
characteristic.

The following biocharacteristics are dominant in your body. Food and herbs with these
characteristics could aggravate your symptoms.

OILY
In Ayurveda, oily refers to anything moistening. More speci cally, oily refers to building
substances that increases fat, or are themselves fatty. For example, sugar is Oily.

HOT
 Hot is identi ed by increased body temperature, metabolism, or in ammation.

Minimize Foods with These Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and e ects of food. Each taste has a speci c
medicinal e ect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving
speci c medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your
body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter
taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta
would bene t from using more sweet taste. One of the rst signs of illness is that your taste and
appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do
you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

Food and herbs with the following tastes could aggravate your symptoms.

SWEET
Sweet refers to anything builds tissue, including macronutrients such as carbohydrates,
proteins and fats.

Review These Herbal Actions

Could you bene t from food & herbs with these properties? Food and herbs with the following
actions were traditionally recommended for many of the symptoms you reported. Please take the
time to research these actions and ask quali ed medical advice to determine whether they are
right for you.

Alterative - Restores the proper function of the body by cleansing the blood and balancing
blood chemistry. In Ayurveda terms, they pacify Pitta in rakta. They were traditionally used to
revitalize and detoxify after a long winter.
Internal detoxicant - Lique es, dissolves, decongests or dislodges internal stagnant toxins.
Decongests the lymphatic system.

Foods to
Favor & Avoid
Here we've summarized what foods are best for you to eat and what foods are worst for you to
eat based on your unique gunas, tastes, doshas and symptoms. To help you prioritize, we've given
you a spectrum. Since you can't always make the perfect choice, these categories empower you to
make the best choice in any given situation. If you have no choice but to eat a food that is listed as
aggravating, chew it well and don't stress out too much about it. Know that you're more frequent
wise choices are laying a good foundation for your body to heal and outweigh the occasional slip
up. Stress and worry will only aggravate a symptom further.

These may be the real culprits that are likely to quickly create imbalance. Do your best to avoid
these. Steer clear of recipes where these ingredients are included. Through the art of Ayurvedic
cooking and strategic use of spices, you can create recipes which enable you to enjoy ingredients
that would otherwise be aggravating. As you begin to develop body awareness around how these
foods make you feel, you are less likely to be interested in eating them.

CAUSES & DEVELOPMENT OF

YOUR IMBALANCES
Have you ever heard someone say, "I feel like I'm coming down with a cold?" The foundation of
preventative medicine is a belief that diseases, like colds, start out as minor imbalances that you
can recognize and treat, before they make you sick. The achiness we feel before we get sick is an
example of an imbalance or warning sign. In western medicine, these warning signs are called
prodromal signs and symptoms. While achiness is often a 24 hour warning sign, there are many
warning signs your body gives you weeks in advance.

Ayurvedic practitioners carefully study the development of diseases, as well as prodromal signs
and symptoms, so they can help their clients prevent illness weeks in advance. Ayurveda's
preventative technique also helps you perform optimally when you are well. No other system of
medicine o ers such a comprehensive model for preventative medicine.

The basic concept is this: Whenever you repeat habits similar in nature or biocharacteristic to an
imbalance, the imbalance grows in severity, and weakens your body's resistance to disease.
Conversely, when you choose foods and habits that are opposite in nature to your imbalance, you
restore balance, strengthen your body and increase your resiliency to disease. Since your
imbalances, strengths and weakness vary according to your constitution there is no one size ts all
approach. For example, it may be quite healthy for one person to spend time in refreshingly cold
weather, while a cold environment may trigger an illness in another.

To take advantage of the preventative bene ts Ayurveda o ers, you'll need to study your body
type, your imbalances, and pay careful attention to the unique warning signs your body uses to
alert you of pre-disease conditions. Then, you'll have to use this knowledge to make changes to
your diet and lifestyle. Joyful Belly makes this process easy through technology. However, there are
limitations to technology. Only a quali ed medical professional can accurately diagnose and treat
medical conditions. So please check with your doctor before making any changes to your health
and wellness routine.

The following sections are provided to help you understand the road-map of how imbalances
may be developing into disease in your body, from an Ayurvedic point of view. We've broken up
the disease process into various stages, called samprapti in Ayurveda, or pathogenesis in Western
medicine. To simplify this section, we've lumped the rst 2 stages of samprapti into Stage 1: Early
Warning Signs in Digestive Tract and the last 2 stages of samprapti together under Stage 4 -
System Overwhelmed & Degenerative Disease. At each stage of progress, the disease becomes
harder and harder to control. The damage to your body also becomes more and more severe. It is
important, therefore, to address the root causes, so they disease doesn't get any worse. We've
presented these stages in reverse order so that you can trace your disease conditions back to their
roots.

SYMPTOMS ARE CLUES

While you endeavor to heal your symptoms, it's also important that you learn from them.
Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances. Speci cally, they reveal the doshas and
biocharacteristics that may have become aggravated. If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha
appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic. To
help you learn from your symptoms, we've linked the biocharacteristics and doshas next to each
symptom and cause below.

Key: V = Vata, P = Pitta, K = Kapha. The relevancy estimate measures the number of
biocharacteristics of the item matching your aggravate characteristics.

Causes: Diet & Lifestyle Habits Provoking Your Imbalances

The chart below links each diet or lifestyle habit with the doshas and biocharacteristics it
aggravates. Habits which tend to provoke your imbalanced doshas, gunas and tastes are listed rst
and have a higher relevancy score. This list contains some common causes only. The causes that
lead to imbalances are numerous, so you may be able to identify additional causes with your
imbalanced gunas, tastes and doshas on your own. You can reduce a speci c imbalanced dosha or
biocharacteristic by removing the habits that aggravate it from your diet and lifestyle. To bring
your system back into balance Ayurveda would highly recommend that you remove or reduce the
frequency of those habits and food choices below that aggravate your imbalances. Please study
the items below and check with your doctor before making any changes to your health and
wellness routine.

Match Rank = The number of your aggravated biocharacteristics matching the symptom's. When match rank is negative,
it means the symptom could pacify some of your imbalances.

These potential causes had a low relevancy score based on your quiz results, but are still
worth considering:

Trying to lose weight, Taking 3+ Supplements, Red meat, Raw Food / Salads, Protein Shakes, Pizza,
Multiple weight loss programs, Meat every day, Belly breathing, Long workday, Brown Rice, Fruits
with meals/yogurt, Frequent Leftovers, Eats quickly, Drink lots of water, Dairy/milk/cheese/ice-
cream, Burgers/Hot Dogs, Incomplete Chewing, Chocolate

Stage 1: Early Warning Signs in Digestive Tract

These early warning signs are the rst signs of imbalance in your body. These signs generally
indicate low level disorders that involve little or no tissue damage. Metabolically, digestion is one
of the most demanding processes in the body. For this reason, many of our systemic imbalances
show up in the digestive tract rst. The digestive tract also contends with anything you eat, and
hosts numerous species of bacteria as well. Therefore, the digestive tract is an ever changing
environment that should be watched closely. Ayurveda recommends paying careful, close attention
to correct the warning signs below before they weaken your body's resistance. Items listed in the
preceding section may be causing some of the imbalances listed here. Your early warning signs
are:

Stage 2: Imbalance in Blood

As imbalances become more and more powerful, they move beyond the digestive tract and begin
to a ect the blood chemistry. If you have symptoms in this category it means that imbalance is
systemic. The imbalances are weakening your system but with only minor e ects on organ
function. The gunas aggravated in the blood are the ones that are systemic throughout the body -
and deserve special importance.

Stage 3: Weakened Tissues

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances have weakened organs and
tissues to the point where function may be compromised. However, organ and tissue damage is
still minimal. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop
into degenerative disease.

Stage 4: System Overwhelmed & Degenerative Disease

If you have any of the below it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance
causing a full- edged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or
chronic conditions. While it is important to address conditions at this level, it is also still important
to pay attention to the more minor, early warning signs such as gas, bloating or feeling tired after
you eat. You should adapt your diet and lifestyle to minimize root causes and early warning signs
as well as address disease. Ayurveda emphasizes a preventative approach suggesting you pay
careful attention to every stage of disease development.
