Your Questions & Our Answers About Diet Typing

Today I was on a well known radio show in Chicago and many of you emailed us with your questions about the Hauser Diet™ and Diet Typing. We thought sharing our answers to them might be helpful for all of our readers.

Am I a candidate for Hauser Diet Typing? We feel that everyone should know their Hauser Diet Type. Each of us has individual physiologies and genetics that predispose us to different diseases/conditions. Our environments are different and our levels of stress are different. Therefore, the diet that each person needs is different. Knowing the best fuel for your body will help it operate at maximum efficiency, give you the most amount of energy, and help prevent disease. We believe everyone should know how to eat for their specific Diet Type.

Can I get my blood drawn somewhere else so you can interpret the results? In order to compare apples to apples, the testing has to be done at our office. We have developed a testing method and we do not know of anyone else doing it exactly the way that we are doing it. We see patients from all over the US and abroad every day at Caring Medical. You can fly in and out the same day, get tested, see our dietitian, and then conduct follow-up nutrition visits over the phone and email if that works best for you.

Can I get the testing if I do not have a weight problem? Losing weight is not necessarily the goal of Diet Typing. Knowing your Diet Type has helped many people feel better, improve energy, reduce medications, and optimize their health.

Is there a diet specific to cancer patients? Different cancers produce different effects in the body. There are many theories out there related to cancer and we have treated many cancer patients here at Caring Medical, so we know what you are up against. We recommend that you get Diet Typing so that you can know what diet is best for you. As with any disease – the necessary diet is determined by getting Diet Typing. What cancer patients can do is avoid processed foods and eat as fresh as possible. But knowing the exact breakdown of how you should eat should be determined by the actual testing.

I have hormone problems. Will that affect my Diet Type? Low hormone levels can definitely have an effect on how you feel, your energy, and how your body processes food. Sometimes we need to test your hormone levels in addition to Diet Typing in order to figure out all that is going on with you.

How much does it cost and will insurance cover it? The basic Diet Typing package costs $799 which includes the testing, a consultation and natural medicine evaluation by Dr. Hauser, as well as three nutrition visits with our registered dietitian. We are out of network providers. Most patients report that they get partial reimbursement for these services, but this may vary greatly.
