For each episode, we endeavour to put out show notes where you can get a quick view of the key topics discussed and their time-stamp; as well as to offer one or two links here and there, promo codes and imagery to help illustrated key points.

Each #FC2O episode has it’s own tab for ease of navigation; and each episode can be played from its show notes page, or through Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or Spotify. Enjoy the show! Here we go…

FC2O Episode 2 – Bill Wolcott Show Notes

0:00. Introduction

3:04. “The most naturopathic book I’ve ever read”

5:19. How Bill discovered Metabolic Typing

8:20. “The Cancer Doctor”… Kelley

9:30. Before Metabolic Typing

9:50. The trials of trouble-shooting

12:23. Nutrition & Your Mind… Everything you know is wrong!!

13:34. Kelley & the Autonomic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system: When SNS (sympathetic nervous system) activity is high, PNS (parasympathetic nervous system) activity is low, and vice-versa.

15:25. The wrong question?

16:38. The Dominance Factor…

The dominance factor posits that each of us is more dominant in either our Autonomic Nervous System, or in our Oxidative System. Which system we are dominant in will dictate our response to certain nutrients (see below).

19:40. The effect of food or nutrients is not what you think

20:20. Fundamental Homeostatic Control Systems

  • Autonomic balance (and flux)
  • Carbo-oxidative balance
  • Lipo-oxidative balance-
  • Electrolyte balance
  • Acid-Alkaline balance
  • Prostaglandin balance
  • Blood Type
  • Constitutional Type
  • Endocrine type 
  • Neurotransmitter balance
The effect of nutrients on the Autonomic Nervous System: If your ANS is well balanced (1.) then you are exposed to either sympathetic stressors (2.) or parasympathetic stressors (3.) your body has the adaptive capacity to absorb the stressors. However, metabolic typing has identified that some people are more sympathetic to begin with (4.) – or may be more parasympathetic; so then adding a nutrient, such as calcium (Ca2+) will stimulate the sympathetic system further sending you deeper into imbalance. (See grab-bag protocol image below)

22:13. Specific stimulatory or inhibitory effects of nutrients

25:21. Grab-bag protocols

In his book, The Metabolic Typing diet, Wolcott explains how different nutrients exert different effects on the systems of the body – calcium, for example, stimulates the sympathetic system, inhibits the parasympathetic system, and decreases the oxidation rate. Hence calcium supplementation or high calcium foods would be inappropriate for someone who is sympathetic dominant type, but good for a fast oxidiser. Most “grab-bag” nutritional protocols do not take this awareness into account.

When considering a Paleo approach it’s important to take into account not just the massive weight of evolutionary adaptation (phylogeny) on the one side, but also the weight of the individual’s own development and adaptations (ontogeny) on the other.
