Thoughts On Identifying D'Adamo Genotypes

How each Genotype expresses itself in space:

Hunters → survival and efficiency

Gatherers → comfort and abundance

Teachers → harmony and balance

Warriors → discipline and control

Nomads → rediscovery and flexibility

Explorers → novelty and experimentation

Real life versus ideal

Hunter

Ideal: Rugged, outdoors, survival‑driven, thriving on lean meats and activity.

Lived: Might be a person who dumpster dives and bikes — still survival‑driven, but in an urban context.

Warrior

Ideal: Structured, disciplined, thrives on plant‑heavy diet and routine exercise.

Lived: A person might do well on salads and eggs, but now struggles with motivation — the Warrior’s metabolic slowdown showing up in real life.

Nomad

Ideal: Restless, thrives on change, eclectic environments, purposeful journeys.

Lived: Likely to find joy in rediscovery, moving art around, and noticing architecture — not constant travel, but meaningful shifts.

Explorer

Ideal: Adventurous, experimental, thrives on novelty and variety.

Lived: A person has reinvented herself through moves, jobs, and adventures — but also lives with clutter and practicality.

Gatherer

Ideal: Cozy, abundant, thrives on comfort and accumulation.

Lived: In families, this often shows up as someone who keeps “too much stuff” but creates warmth and hospitality.

Teacher

Ideal: Balanced, harmonious, thrives on order and community.

Lived: Often the family member who insists on symmetry, calm, or rituals — even if life doesn’t always allow it.

Never Binge Again guidelines

    I   provide the link to the PDF If you have never read the book Never Binge Again, I suggest you do. Try to not be offended. Seek out the author's website,because, that is also a good idea.  This is a set of quick reference guidelines that Grok made for me:  Short Set of Guidelines Based on Never Binge AgainName and Separate the Pig: Label binge urges as the “Pig,” a separate entity from your true self. Recognize it as a survival-driven impulse that doesn’t serve your goals. Create a Clear Food Plan: Write a detailed, unambiguous Food Plan with Nevers, Always, Unrestricted, and Conditional rules. Review it daily to stay committed. Identify Pig Squeals: Notice thoughts or feelings tempting you to break your plan (e.g., “One bite is fine”). Label them as Pig Squeals and consciously ignore them. Commit 100%: Adopt an all-or-nothing approach to your Food Plan. Avoid moderation to eliminate loopholes and strengthen resolve. Focus on Action, Not Emotion: Shif...

Here I go, again, on my own ...

 I started a progressive health build yesterday. (4/16/25) How? By choosing the first change.  Which is? Being sure to eat smaller amounts at a time.  And?  No and. That's it.  Why?  After research, consideration of how things have gone and how I used to be as a child, I have come to the conclusion that eating smaller meals is the most important thing I can do for my health.  How big of meals? Anything from a  small piece or scant handful to around 1-1/3 cup at a time. If I order a hamburger and fries, cut the burger in half or quarters. Divide the fries the same way. That sort of thing.  It is portion control, but not because my meals were huge and my eating was out of control. It is because I have hyper joint mobility, an injured gut, low stomach acid and scant digestive enzymes. What does hyper joint mobility have to do with it? It means my cartilage, which holds things in place, is stretchier than for most people. For that reason, a regul...
