I felt like a brand new person after being on Elizabeth’s program. There is absolutely no possible way I could keep to my hectic schedule and rigorous
workouts in the show had it not been for Elizabeth’s program. Any aches and pains have disappeared as well as the "traditional" dancer's injuries.
I’ve never felt better in my life, and I can do things I haven’t done since I was eighteen.

The Accelerator is the fastest moving of all the in terms of energy, metabolism, and personality. With your drive and natural leadership, you actively motivate people, groups, and endeavors and bring them with you to reach your vision of success. You push progress, move through obstacles, and support the whole team to victory with confidence, encouragement, and spirit. You are wonderfully ambitious and can be driven to achieve great goals and acquire prestige, recognition, and material prosperity. You rarely back down from a challenge. However, to accomplish these goals, you may tend to be a workaholic.
Accelerators are more intellectually than emotionally driven in life and you usually "live in your head." More often than not ruled by linear and rational thinking, grasping your emotions can seem difficult, perhaps even unnecessary. You may even be emotionally unavailable a good deal of the time.
The dynamic phrase that best describes the Accelerators is: "I think, and then I act decisively!"

Dennis' whirlwind pace in both his personal and work life got the best of him at a comparatively young age. Approaching 40, for the first time in his life he was unhappy no matter how much he achieved. Dennis constantly set his sights on the highest goals and wouldn't accept anything less. While moving up the corporate ladder with agility and notable speed, he was still admired for being a good mentor and leader in his field. He was described as loyal and outgoing, a generous friend at work, in social environments, and at home. His hallmark was his ability to help others reach their "gold" as well as his own, whether it was wealth, self-esteem, or expertise. Entertainment and rest for Dennis were action! Whether participating in team sports, family get-togethers, landscaping, or working side-by-side with his wife Anna on home improvements, Dennis was a mover, a shaker and a doer - and always happy. Having boundless energy since childhood, Dennis' strong, muscular build required little maintenance. Jumping out of bed at the crack of dawn, he enthusiastically embraced the day and crunched through any obstacle. A hearty meal at the end of the day refueled his demanding but rewarding lifestyle. As a prize for his day's effort, he would want to "get to work" at the fun stuff in the evenings. At the very pinnacle of his career, Dennis' emotional and physical health began to collapse. About to become head of a successful company and living with Anna in a spectacular new home, Dennis' ceaseless energy started grinding to a halt. He sluggishly tried to pursue his usual passions but ended in defeat. He felt much too tired to do anything outside of the office, which now consumed all of his energy. Twenty pounds of flab had crept onto his athletic build. Tired and much too rushed to eat in a healthy way, he arrived home late and ate whatever was handy. Collapsing onto the couch, he dozed away most evenings. By the time he finally stumbled into bed, sleep was elusive. Little life problems loomed large - a home repair company hadn't returned his phone call fast enough and his mind restlessly blew this into a major incident. Exasperated and frustrated, his usual patience disappeared. His whole personality seemed changed. In spite of all of Dennis' confidence and success, years of prolonged, unmanaged stress eventually eroded his metabolic balance. It actually became difficult to recognize his true and his "real self." His energy was all but gone. He seldom smiled and Anna realized that their relationship wasn't what it used to be. She became frustrated, angry, hurt, and scared. Even though they spent a lot of time together, Dennis just wasn't the man she had known so intimately. Anna finally found the courage to gently but directly question Dennis about what was happening to him, to them, and to the life they had worked so hard to create. After months of telling her, "I'm fine, I'm just stressed," Dennis finally admitted something was very wrong. He couldn't seem to pull himself out of this quagmire. It was sucking him down into deep levels of despair and depression, a totally foreign realm for him. Now 40, Dennis despised this destructive pattern. He wanted change - fast and complete, of course - but how to start? His unpredictable and hectic schedule led Dennis to enlist the aid of a personal trainer to help him with food plans and workout schedules. Initially successful, the results quickly stagnated because Dennis' stress levels were still high and his work schedule was very demanding. He found it difficult to find time to stick to a routine. He started giving in to cravings for salty and starchy foods. Even though he lost a few pounds, he still wasn't feeling his best and was unable to shake the sad, hopeless feelings or to maximize his energy levels. Anna's friend recommended my book, Your Body, Your Diet, explaining how it had helped her husband. Armed with a fresh idea that was not just another "fad diet," Anna discussed my book with Dennis and encouraged him to determine his . Taking the discovery test and reading about the "Pendulum Effect", Dennis became convinced he was truly an Accelerator in his best health, but had plummeted into the Synthesizer due to his prolonged Stress Response. At first skeptical of my blended Eastern and Western health concepts, Dennis asked Anna to help him with the diet recommendations only. Once on the Accelerator program, Dennis noticed he felt lighter and enjoyed his foods. His menu was full of the "real" foods he liked and in hearty portions with a great variety. He broke through with the weight loss he couldn't attain before. That success was enough to convince him the holistic Accelerator program could really help him bring back his energy and correct his counterproductive habits. After adjusting his eating regimen and relaxing with Accelerator exercises, Dennis began using my suggested aromatherapy formulas and massage points to nurture his exhausted, tense muscles, especially after demanding workouts. All of this new knowledge empowered Dennis to look at his whole personality, health, and emotional well-being from the Accelerator perspective. The more he became balanced within the Accelerator Meta-type, the more Dennis' confidence soared, his health rejuvenated, and his emotional balance resumed. Six months after taking the test and embarking on my Your Body, Your Diet program, Dennis and Anna shared a personal consultation at my office. They felt so rewarded by the Your Body, Your Diet plans, they wanted me to design new, additional personalized food and exercise programs and explore the concept in depth with them. Dennis (and Anna, too!) looked terrific, glowing, and full of enthusiasm for life, able to meet challenges with a calm yet strong approach. "I know my limitations, but I have so much freedom having my health and happiness back," he told me. "I feel my best, knowing how to take care of myself with exactly what my mind and body need - and what I don't. I look forward to what's next." |
Energetically, Accelerators are the extreme opposite of the Synthesizer Meta-type. You are exceptionally active and seldom stop. "Rest" for you is activity, whether it's hiking, bicycling, moving furniture, working on the computer, or exercising. Sitting down to watch a booming thunderstorm on a Saturday afternoon is not your idea of fun. You thrive on intensity, go-power, exercise, and, especially, sports.
Accelerators experience a peak energy time from very early morning (5:00 to 6:00 AM) to late afternoon. You're the classic early bird, and you're on track for that first worm. You can get most of your work done by the time others wake up, due to your powerful adrenal glands. They are most active from about 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
You don't require food for energy - breakfast is not a priority - but your energy usually fades when the sun goes down. You love the sun, and warm, open, sunny climates are your ideal environment. You may have a difficult time falling asleep, especially if you're under stress, and you could even have a tendency toward insomnia.
Accelerators react to stress with anxiety, which fuels your powerful energy. You thrive on this Stress Response, and love the exhilaration of its intensity and pressure. It's what helps propel you through obstacles and into success.

Pamela's exciting life of travel, adventure, business, and social whirlwinds were beginning to take its toll on her. And she wasn't used to that at all! She zoomed through life, never stopping, always reaching out to ascend that next mountain. Climbing to the top of her profession in the electrifying yet grueling world of marketing, her objective was to win. She had to be the best, whether that meant being the best entrepreneur, the best mother, the best wife, or the best tennis champ. Pamela's employees knew her as their champion, guiding and encouraging them to learn more about themselves and always cheering them on to reach their own "personal best." Rest and relaxation for Pamela meant giving a great dinner party in the spaciously elegant home that she and her husband Karl had designed and built, or playing two or three hours of competitive tennis at the club, or completely re-landscaping her formal English garden. Joyously waking very early each morning, Pamela had most of her own work done and had either played tennis or worked out at the gym before any of her employees arrived at the office. She worked straight through the day, unraveling problems, handling phone conferences, creating or restructuring marketing strategies with her team for their huge corporate clients. In the evening, she loved to create a great meal with family or friends. At the height of her career, with her booming business, two gorgeous homes, and travel to exotic lands for both business and pleasure, Pamela's life began to unravel. Her energy spiraled downward and she found herself increasingly irritable and edgy. Her well-known short fuse was constantly activated. She began noticing bags under her puffy eyes, and weight and water began clinging to her usually toned, strong body. After work, she found herself almost collapsing as she walked through the door. Dinner was thrown together haphazardly. Everything she used to be able to handle eagerly had become too much and too complicated. She felt completely overburdened and couldn't even sleep at night. Her many years of traveling, unmanaged and prolonged stress, late dinners, cigarette smoking (to relieve the tension), and little or no sleep had devastated her metabolic balance. She became unrecognizable by even her own husband and children. Her energy dwindled to zero and she stopped playing tennis. She was constantly getting sick with colds, bronchitis, asthma, and flu. She was ready to give up her company, sell one of their beautiful homes, and walk away from it all. She couldn't stand to look at herself and was in a rotten mood almost all day long. She and Karl argued constantly and her children began withdrawing from her. Pamela knew that she desperately needed to stop the destructive patterns and regain her balance, her energy, and her zest for life. Something was dreadfully wrong and she had to turn her life around or she would lose what was most precious to her - her family. But she just didn't know how to do it until one of her best friends gave her my book, Your Body, Your Diet. Pamela saw immediately that Your Body, Your Diet was far more than just a weight loss program and was excited to discover that she might be able to regain her "best self." Discovering that she was an Accelerator, she dove headlong into her food program to tackle her weight gain (as any Accelerator would), using her Accelerator food lists to prepare recipes for her as well as for entertaining. Feeling healthy again, Pamela knew that her cigarette smoking was undeniably a critical health threat. She made an appointment with me and explained her success on the Accelerator food plan for her weight loss and asked if I would help her quit smoking. Beginning with some simple breathing exercises, after a few sessions, she learned enough acupressure techniques to relieve her powerful nicotine cravings. Soon, we added in the blend of essential oil formulas unique for Accelerators. The natural relaxation she received from the aromatherapy formula replaced the false feelings of satisfaction from the chemical addiction to cigarettes. Pamela was delighted to finally conquer her smoking. Inspired by her renewed health, Pamela told her family how important they were to her and just how much her stressful life had really trapped her in a vicious cycle. Now, she was optimistic about their new future together. Karl and the children were confident this new Accelerator philosophy would help Pamela reclaim her usual joy and they became a key part of her transformation. Over the next few months, Pamela and I worked together healing her tremendously abused body, exploring and fine-tuning her life goals, and bringing back both energy and relaxation - successfully empowering her to resume her passionate, dynamic lifestyle - but in a much more rewarding, balanced way. |
The strongest endocrine glands of the Accelerator are the adrenal glands, the "masters" of the Stress Response as well as your energy flow. Your least effective endocrine glands tend to be your sex glands, which could lead to hormonal irregularities, particularly if you become out of balance because your adrenal glands are hyperactive. An overabundance of adrenal hormones spilling into your bloodstream could suppress your other hormones, especially the sex hormones.
Accelerators normally don't have a tendency to gain weight. But if you're under stress (which is most of the time), you can pile on those extra pounds. This weight gain comes from soaring insulin levels stimulated by the Stress Response, which can easily trigger your food cravings. Those excess pounds will accumulate on your stomach and upper body, transforming you into the quintessential "apple" shape. However, even though Accelerators think of food as purely functional, your food cravings can range from sugar, salt, and starches, to meat.
Your Accelerator metabolic type indicates that you are a very "fast metabolizer" (your digestive system breaks down your foods quickly) but you are a "slow oxidizer" (your body burns off your energy slowly), which gives your body a pH range at the acidic end of the acid/alkaline spectrum: "strong acid" (4.5 - 4).
| Strong Alkaline pH: 8 - 7.5 Synthesizer |
Alkaline Forming pH: 7.4 Balanced Synthesizer |
Weak Alkaline pH: 6.8 Mixed Synthesizer |
Weak Acid pH: 6.2 Mixed Accelerator |
Acid Forming pH: 5 Balanced Accelerator |
Strong Acid pH: 4.5 - 4 Accelerator |
This type of metabolism gives Accelerators the ability to handle the faster-burning carbohydrates, which you'll burn off slowly. Therefore, you require a more vegetarian food plan; meat in your diet does not break down quickly enough and can make you very sluggish.
When you think of the Accelerator Meta-type, think of the empire builders, the entrepreneurs, the leaders in their fields, self-starters who persist and work hard to achieve power and prominence. Words that best describe Accelerators are:
It's fairly obvious that for the Accelerator, life is demanding. It is therefore of the utmost importance that you stay in balance, as you can see from Dennis' and Pamela's stories! Of all the , Accelerators, more than any other , simply don't know how to slow down. Without staying in balance, this constant race to the top can lead to high cholesterol, heart attacks, strokes, and even low blood sugar attacks. In time, your powerful adrenal glands may simply burn out. Then, instead of falling into the next , the Balanced Accelerator, Accelerators can collapse all the way into their opposite , the Synthesizer. Consequently, you'll experience situations that are totally foreign to you: fatigue, lethargy, illness, and deep depression! Read the "Pendulum Effect" if you think you've swung out of your .
Knowing all about your Accelerator Meta-type will teach you what your body truly needs in terms of food, exercise, and lifestyle to sustain your pace and be true to yourself. And you'll learn that all of your health issues deal not only with your body but also with your mind, emotions, intellect, heart, and spirit. Staying in balance within your Accelerator Meta-type will help you live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life in which you make use of the skills and talents that are uniquely you.
