As a naturopathic physician and a researcher, I've always had a deep faith in our ability to take control of our bodies and our lives. Every day, I've treated patients who discovered a health, vitality, and joy in life that they’d never thought possible, simply by altering what they ate, which supplements they took, and how they exercised. Since my first book, Eat Right for Your Type, was published 11 years ago, I’ve been privileged to hear the most heartening stories about people whose lives have been transformed by finding the diet and exercise plan that fit them best.

Yet I’ll admit I had one blind spot that I’d imagine a lot of you share. I always assumed that the genetic part of our story had already been written. The genes we inherited from our parents, I believed, were the cards we were dealt. I knew we had a lot of leeway in how to play those cards—and I went on to write numerous books that helped a lot of people play them better. But I was pretty sure that the cards we received at the moment of conception were the ones we had for life.

Imagine my delight, then, as I began to discover that we have an enormous power to improve our lives, even when it comes to our genes. True, we can’t do anything about which chromosomes we got from our parents; we can’t add new genes to the mix or eradicate old ones. But the genes we get at conception are only the beginning of the story. From our time in the womb through our childhoods, youth, and adulthood, we have the capacity to turn up the volume on some genes and silence others, vastly improving our capacity for health and happiness. We can understand the trajectory of our life and health—what physical challenges we’re likely to face, what disorders we’re most prone to—and we can respond effectively. With this in mind, I wrote my most recent book, called The GenoType Diet which identified, six different 'genetic archetypes' which I call GenoTypes.

Every patient of the SHift receives highly specific dietary guidelines in the form of a personalized dietary protocol complete with individualized recipes. These guidelines are produced by a suite of computer software programs which I've written called SWAMI GenoType. I wrote the SWAMI GenoType software to harness the power of computers and artificial intelligence, using their tremendous precision and speed to help tailor unique one-of-a kind diets, based on their blood types, fingerprints, medical history, biometric measurements and over ninety other variables. SWAMI GenoType is capable of determining your epigenotype and prescribing the appropriate GenoType Diet for you, but it can do much, much more.

From it's extensive knowledge base, SWAMI GenoType can evaluate each of over 700 foods for over 200 individual attributes (such as its cholesterol level, gluten content, presence of antioxidants, etc.) to determine if that food is either a superfood or toxin for you. It then prints out a specific one of a kind diet in an easy to read, friendly format.

SWAMI GenoType will typically take the results of our measurements and testing and complete about 12,600,000 individual calculations --performed on 225 individual nutrient values found in each of 800 foods, matched to the results of 130 measurements and tests that we've performed on you. Whew!

In addition, the Clinic Physician Team can adjust the diet by specifying specific nutrients to recommend and restrict, or specify values right down to a particular food.

SWAMI GenoType considers a food to be either of three values: a 'superfoods', 'neutrals' or 'toxin avoids.' Each category of foods is broken down based on these values; for example, some types of poultry may be better for you than others. At the end of the diet section SWAMI GenoType prints out a list of food which you should minimize and its rationale for its decisions. Some avoids are noted by a black dot (•). These are temporary avoids meaning that you should minimize or avoid these foods for a period of about three months, to allow your digestive system to regenerate and detoxify. Once it has been rebuilt you can reintroduce these in small amounts. Some superfoods are noted with a diamond character (◊). These are extra-special super-foods with the ability to enhance weight loss, increase immunity and slow down aging. These foods shold be consumed frequently.

Geno-Harmonics

What does The GenoType Diet, Sudoku, and musical harmonics have in common? They are all based on matrix relationships; tables (really arrays) in which the constituents relate to each other in particular ways.

Many years ago, I took a summer course in computer music composition with Charles Dodge. Dodge, primarily known for a piece he created out of the Earth's magnetic field, was a gifted and supportive teacher, who in no short time clued me into the fact that I was no composer, but rather something that he termed a 'musical systems pre-programmer.' In short, the guy who wrote the programs that composers used to make music.

One of the things he was working on that I found especially fascinating was a concept that he called 'harmonic foldover', the idea that at certain points the sonorities ('resonance') of certain base frequencies could be manipulated to produce new harmonics, which would be created a precise intervals.

One of the most striking things that you hear when people talk about foods and diets, is who often they express their preference in musical terms.
  1. "I try to eat in harmony with my local agriculture."
  2. "I'm really in tune with this diet."
  3. "A high protein diet really resonates with me. I can feel more balanced."


Working on the GTD food choices, I often reminisced about Dodge's theories. Although I've long forgotten his exact modus operandi I suspected that one could do this by using a series of mathematical tools called linear transformations, especially what are called Fourier transformations. Any example of a Fourier transformation would be to split up a radio frequency into its more basic fundamentals. Most of these functions work on matrices, not terribly different than those found in any Sudoku puzzle.
