Why Your Body Type Matters

Not every healthy food works the same way for every person. In 8 Body Type medicine, each constitution responds differently to foods, habits, and stress. Understanding your body type can help guide better choices for daily wellness.

💡

The same food may support one person, but burden another. Understanding your body type may help guide better choices for daily wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

8 Body Type medicine is a constitutional approach that recognises that people are born with different internal tendencies. It explores how those differences may affect food compatibility, balance, and daily wellness. Each person belongs to one of eight constitutions, each with a unique organ hierarchy.

Reading descriptions online may help you explore the different constitutions, but accurate confirmation requires a professional consultation. Dr. Na uses constitutional pulse diagnosis — a traditional technique that identifies your unique type through careful pulse reading. Accurate constitutional diagnosis requires a professional consultation.

Your consultation includes a discussion of symptoms and food habits, constitutional pulse diagnosis, and when appropriate, organ ultrasound assessment and blood analysis review. You will receive a personalised food chart and treatment plan tailored to your specific body type.
