About Dr. Elizabeth Dane
Dr. Elizabeth Dane´s book, Your Body, Your Diet and Your Body, Your Life programs are the culmination of more than 30 years of research and clinical practice conducted by her. She has helped countless people achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony. In the process, Dr. Dane's program has made them healthier, happier and more productive individuals.
Her unique system combines both Eastern Medicine and Western Science to help her clients address the issues of diet, nutrition, fitness, weight loss, and weight management. In addition, her system helps with a wide variety of difficult health problems like chronic fatigue, severe allergies, arthritis, infertility, and critical issues such as stress management.
In private practice since 1976 in both New York and California, Dr. Dane has earned a reputation as one of today's foremost practitioners of Complementary Medicine. Notable clients include actresses Anjelica Huston, Stockard Channing, Lois Chiles, and Carole Shelley; songwriters James Taylor, Carol Bayer Sagan, and Carly Simon; Broadway stars Bebe Neuwirth and Ann Reinking; television correspondent Paula Zahn; jazz great John Lewis; trial lawyer Michael Kennedy; documentary producer/director/writer Adriana Trigiani; authors and editors Jane Amsterdam, Jay MacInerny, and Edna O'Brien; and even Mount Everest summiter Sandy Pittman Hill.
Dr. Dane is increasingly in demand as a speaker and workshop leader, addressing such diverse organizations as New York University Hospital, the NBA Convention in Orlando, Florida, and the International Association of Women Professionals in New York.
Spirited and truly ageless, Dr. Dane makes the best case for her own program. “I keep uncovering “my best” year after year - growing, evolving and becoming,” she comments. “I´ve always stayed out of the limelight because my journey has been for my own regeneration. Now, after so many years of training, research, and systematizing my own approach to healing, the time is now right to share it with others through my book, Your Body, Your Diet and Your Body, Your Life program presented on my website.”
Today there is a growing acceptance of the practices and benefits of Eastern Medicine - including endorsements by some of the world's most prestigious health organizations such as the United Nations' World Health Organization (WHO) – and for over three decades, Dr. Dane has been pioneering an approach that draws on the best that Eastern Medicine has to offer.
Because of her own frustrating and unsatisfactory experiences with Western medicine in her early twenties, Dr. Dane eventually turned toward Eastern medicine. She earned degrees as an O.M.D. (Oriental Medical Doctor) and Ph.D. in Chinese Medicine and Philosophy. She is also certified in Massage Therapy and Hypnotherapy.
While Dr. Dane has studied widely in Eastern disciplines, she does not dismiss what is of value in mainstream Western medicine and science. She merges her knowledge of both traditions, frequently working in tandem with Western medical doctors to heal patients. ”As with my private patients, I always recommend that readers check with their physician before beginning my Your Body, Your Life program,” she notes.
Drawing on both Eastern and Western Medicine, Dr. Dane has coined the term “Meta-type” to describe six basic patterns of energy that she has found in people. Your Meta-type is more than just your metabolism -- more than just how fast or slow your system runs -- it describes your whole person -- body, mind, emotions, heart and spirit.
“Using all the principles I have learned, I now fully comprehend the crucial role metabolism plays in every individual´s well-being,” she states. “Whether the problem is weight loss, chronic fatigue, allergies, or anxiety, it can only be addressed by looking at the whole person. That is why I create a unique, personal diet plan for each client, whether he or she tends basically to be a fast-burning Accelerator or a slower-burning Synthesizer.”
“Along with the food plans, for each personality type I use both my own and standard Chinese herbal formulas. I also use vitamins and minerals, fresh juice combinations, special elixirs I´ve designed, aromatherapy combinations, and Bach Flower Remedies for each individual Meta-type,” she adds. “Finally, I always make it a point to suggest the appropriate type of massage, acupuncture, energetic healing, acupressure, and different forms of exercise for both Accelerators and Synthesizers. I have given visitors to this website full access to all the information and reports they need to attain their best health and manage their weight permanently.”

Dr. Dane´s Patients
Through more than two decades of clinical practice, Dr. Dane has used her vast knowledge and skills to help people overcome various ailments and become healthier, happier incarnations of themselves. Although her numerous patients include celebrities such as Anjelica Huston, Ann Reinking, and James Taylor, the door of her clinical practice in New York City is open to people from all walks of life.
Dr. Dane asks of her patients that they accept a major role in their own healing process. She also requires an open mind and a willingness to try alternative forms of therapy. Many of her patients come to her after having found little success with other medical treatments, and Dr. Dane fully understands the frustration that goes with searching for effective healing.
Methods of Treatment
Dr. Dane begins with a full evaluation that includes not only a detailed medical history, but an in-depth one-on-one intake interview as well. When making her assessment, she takes into account the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional factors from a person´s life. In addition, she often works with the tools of Western Medicine, asking patients to get blood work-ups or other specialized tests, and incorporates this knowledge into her practice.
Once she has completed her thorough diagnosis, Dr. Dane employs a number of methods to treat her patients. The cornerstone component of her program is diet and exercise planning:
Diet - She has extensive knowledge of herbs and the power behind various foods as well as food combinations. She determines a patient´s Metabolic type (or Meta-type) and designs a nutritional regimen, complete with accompanying amino acid, vitamin, and mineral supplements, as well as herbal formulas, aimed at balancing the body. Based on a patient´s individual needs, she may also suggest special vegetable, fruit, or fruit juice combinations or specifically-designed healing foods, such as her ”enzyme salad,” which consists of pineapple, papaya, pink grapefruit, strawberries, and green grapes.
Exercise - Depending on an individual´s particular Meta-type and health needs, Dr. Dane designs a supplementary exercise regimen, often including yoga, aerobics, or dance.
Reiki Energetic Healing - As a Reiki Master, Dr. Dane uses specific energetic patterns to unleash and balance a person's own energy.
