Elizabeth Dane discovered untapped resources of strength and stamina that I was unable to reach with my regular workouts and training diet alone.
I was already in good shape, but I had to be better than that because climbing Everest demands everything you’ve got...and then some! Elizabeth helped me find that edge.

As a Mixed Synthesizer, you are ruled by your deeply creative, empathetic nature as well as your shining intellect. "Creating with passion" is the name of your game! You live an intensely emotional and sensual life, loving the call of the dramatic. Your creativity allows you to enjoy giving birth to new ideas, concepts, and ventures. You think big, and have great drive. You love to feel and express your artistic passions, especially in the arts. Your outgoing empathy attracts others to you easily.
When Mixed Synthesizers are torn between their hearts and their heads, your heart usually wins out. You're emotionally powerful and sensuous, driven by great determination in life. If you allow those energies to be unleashed and unfocused by your mind, you could easily become engulfed, your logical thinking drowned out by your intensity. You love being in the limelight and center stage, but you also allow others to shine with their own brilliance and creativity.
Therefore, the most compelling phrase that best describes the Mixed Synthesizer is: "I feel, I think, then I act - RIGHT AWAY!"

From the time she was little, Anastasia knew her destiny: She would be onstage in front of crowds of people, exciting them with her sense of drama and the magnificent gift of her powerful voice. Stunningly creative and full of passion, she plunged into her musical career with focused intensity. She was determined to win accolades as an extraordinary singer, a composer of incredible songs, and an actress of rare depth. Medium tall, with gorgeous large eyes and raven-colored hair, her intense sensuality (especially on stage) and talent brought standing ovations after her performances. Naturally, she ended up on Broadway, performed many concerts, and finally acted in several movies. Anastasia was also an avid supporter of world peace, since one of her goals - from the age of 7 - was to personally contribute to the peace of mankind. Anastasia loved her life and her intensity. She generously contributed her time and energy to benefit performances. She really wanted to give the world love and light. She just wasn't a quitter. She kept up a wicked pace and couldn't seem to get enough of the limelight. However, confronted by intense emotions or problems she didn't want to deal with, she would lose herself in passionate relationships that seemed fated to be disasters or great disappointments. Her frustrations also drove her to late night eating binges of the more "sensual" foods, especially spicy and creamy Moroccan food. Finally, too many concerts all over the country while doing a huge Broadway show and recording an album began to put Ana over the edge. Her late night binging occurred almost daily. Her routine had been to get up in mid-morning and begin work around noon. Instead, she was getting up extremely early and working extremely late. Airplane food followed by rich hotel food became a way of life, without enough sound sleep. Bags began appearing under those beautiful eyes. Colds and bronchitis - the nemesis of a singer - were constant occurrences. She erupted with snapping and emotional temper tantrums, totally unlike Anastasia. But the most unfortunate thing to her was the weight gain, right on her derriere and thighs. Then Anastasia hit pay-dirt: a starring part in a huge Hollywood movie. Unfortunately, the puffy eyes, the swollen face, and the hefty contours were not pleasing when the first scenes were shot and viewed in the dailies. That's when the film company called me in for consultation. "Take off the weight and bring her beauty back - yesterday!" I was instructed. I arrived on the set, interviewed Anastasia for several hours, and saw her as a Mixed Synthesizer. I knew immediately what she needed for her optimum food plan: supplements, exercise routines, and treatments. Anastasia dove into the program with incredible dedication and determination. She lost those excess pounds, her beautiful radiance returned, and she was deliriously happy - as was the studio! Two years later, long after the movie was released, Anastasia appeared in my office. She was even more out of balance than when we first met: puffy face, continuous weight gain, chronic sinus problems. She also had digestive upsets and serious lung congestion. Bronchial and allergy infections were constant companions. She was so sweet as she said, "Please, Dr. Dane, I had felt so terrific with your help when I was doing the movie, and I really need to feel that way again." I explained to Anastasia that my methods were not a temporary fix during projects. She had to understand that she needed to embrace a way of life for herself, on an everyday, indefinite basis. We are all born with certain universal energies. We must acknowledge them and accept them, and the way we deal with them becomes our unique way of life. As a very sensuous being, she craved foods that would satiate her palate, especially when her creative energy was at its highest, usually in the evening. She needed to learn to satisfy her emotions not with food but with exercise instead. We went to work, developing her Mixed Synthesizers plan to fit into her busy schedule. I developed the menu, recipes, and a shopping list for her. I also designed her supplement plan so it could be taken easily as she traveled, simple exercises to be done in the evenings, and an aromatherapy (essential oil) combination for her to use when her powerful emotions started to erupt and she didn't have an immediate outlet for them. As an added bonus, I also taught her how to meditate to help balance and smooth out her powerful energies. Again, Anastasia plunged right into the program with superb dedication and turned her life around in just three months. She still checks in with me from time to time for new aromatherapy combinations, a supplement change, or a treatment. Generally speaking, she has successfully adopted the Mixed Synthesizer program as her way of life. Anastasia claims that her ageless appearance is totally due to my Your Body, Your Life program, as well as her own immense energy. |
Energetically, Mixed Synthesizers are usually slow to get started, but once they're in gear, they keep going until they've accomplished their goal. They definitely need to exercise, but they may find it too boring or distasteful to bother.
As a Mixed Synthesizer, your mornings begin fairly slowly and your energy may begin to peak by late morning (11:00 AM). You'll have a dip in the afternoon when your weaker adrenaline energy begins to shut down, giving way as your own dominant parasympathetic nervous system undertakes its nighttime regenerative duties. Your energy picks up again from early to late evening when your stronger endocrine gland energy begins to hit its highest point. You fall asleep easily - and love to sleep - sleeping soundly through the night. However, you can become restless and wake up during the night if you're under stress.
Your Mixed Synthesizer Meta-type indicates that you are a fairly "slow metabolizer" (your digestive system breaks down your foods rather slowly), but you are a moderately "fast oxidizer" (your body burns off the energy from those foods relatively quickly). This combination gives you a pH range near the midpoint of the acid/alkaline spectrum, more to the alkaline side: "weak alkaline" (6.8).
| 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 you less ability to handle the faster-burning carbohydrates (since you'll tend to burn them off too fast, causing a blood sugar drop). Include in your food plan more of the slower-burning foods, such as proteins. You will require an omnivore diet, with an emphasis on eating more protein: fish, fowl, and eggs, but not red meat. Red meat would supply your body with an overabundance of cholesterol. You already have more than enough of that in your body, and it facilitates the manufacture of your plentiful sex hormones.
Your intense nature constantly tempts you into sensuous eating. You think of food as pleasure and love to eat with great gusto. "Bring on the spicy foods, the cream, fat, and sugar." Your cravings will explode! Just what you don't need, foods to stimulate more of your sensuality! Coupled with the fact that your energy-producing glands (the adrenals) and the ones that control weight (the thyroid) are not your strongest power sources, you tend to gain weight very easily, especially in your derriere and hips, sometimes as far down as your thighs.

Gavin lived on Long Island's fashionable East End. The variety of climates and landscapes - warm tropical summers, vast fields, the forests, rich colored autumns, and cold New England winters-perfectly suited his creative pursuits and social life. He immersed himself in the summer's nightclub frenzy and indulged in romantic interludes in the solitude of winter farmlands. A naval carpenter by day, he designed, carved, and installed extraordinary woodwork on luxurious sailboats. By night, he was an award-winning photographer, shooting covers for some of the largest advertisers, agencies, and magazines. Feeling a need to give back to the world, Gavin often photographed charitable events and fundraisers on a "pro bono" basis, especially as he became more successful in the nautical design field. True to his dramatic nature and flair, Gavin loved to sail with his team from Long Island to Tortola, St. Barts, Anguilla, and other "celebrity" resorts to deliver his boats. He enjoyed meeting the rich and famous during his travels and also entertaining his ladies in great style. Food was a sensual ritual to him, and the meals and wines were luscious, decadent, and stylish. Although he was lavished with praise, he also had to deal with those few customers who criticized and fussed overzealously. Gavin's popularity and natural charm could usually smooth over any customer meltdowns. But inside, he could easily be crushed by these critical blows. Criticism was rejection and very hard to swallow. Born in Turkey, Gavin's exotic good looks and sophisticated style made him a natural at winning women. He did have a "girl in every port!" That is, until he met Janine, the boat manufacturer's daughter. Their intra-office affair began secretly, and he fell completely head over heels for her. After six months of dating Janine, he began to wonder if he should settle down with her. But after returning from a two-month long boat delivery (and more than a few wild nights), Gavin was devastated to find that Janine had broken off their relationship. She had decided to settle down with someone else after she got wind of Gavin's escapades. Gavin went into over-drive dating to compensate. When he realized his co-workers at the boat shop were treating him coolly, he reacted with extreme anger and decided to "screw them first" by quitting his job. With his attitude soured, his usual amazing ability to work wonders on hectic photo sets disappeared as his erratic emotions angered many of his associates. His work declined and when he tried to solicit more boat carpentry projects, he found his reputation was tarnished. He sulked, drank, and dined out more, to prove he wasn't affected. Soon, Gavin fell into a horrifying depression. Nothing he did felt rewarding. He gained a lot of weight and he noticed he didn't really enjoy dating anymore but refused to give up sex, his brand of exercise. This vicious cycle continued and his work schedule suffered tremendously. He had few friends, but still had many fleeting relationships. Gavin was introduced to me as the food photographer for the meals in my book, Your Body, Your Diet, after the recipes had been kitchen tested. Gavin became intrigued with my philosophy of and wanted to know more. He wanted to learn how to dine out the right way. And I knew my balanced system and easy working style would be a good match for Gavin's erratic energy levels and tidal waves of emotion. Gavin´s Mixed Synthesizer food plan, full of healthy and tasty recipes for his love of spicy, exotic foods, as well as the Mixed Synthesizer vitamin regimen and tailored exercise plans, were designed to bring him right back into balance. I also suggested some European and Asian healing tools, such as aromatherapy and reflexology, to calm Gavin's more sensual energetic receptors. Gavin loved the whole concept. With his great determination, he embraced it and applied it to his life in his uniquely passionate way. I'm happy to say that Gavin is now on his way to finding emotionally balanced blends of professional, social, healthful, and charitable pursuits. |
The Mixed Synthesizer´s strongest endocrine glands are - yes, you guessed it! - the sex glands. They are responsible for creativity, reproduction, sexuality, and the overall sexual health of your body. Your least effective endocrine glands tend to be your adrenals, the "master" glands directing the Stress Response and your body's energy. Because your least effective endocrine glands are the adrenals, your initial reaction to stress will be anxiety. Unable to sustain a prolonged, strong adrenalin reaction to stress, you'll quickly fall into depression, especially if your emotional needs or feelings aren't expressed or heard. You may have problems maintaining enough long-enduring energy and may have a vulnerability to stress if you're out of balance.
The Stress Response can also cause Mixed Synthesizers to flip out into another (see the chart above based on the pH value of each type), usually the one just to the right of your , the Mixed Accelerator, when you're anxious or agitated. If you're exhausted and burned out, you could plummet into the just to the left, the Balanced Synthesizer. If you think you may have swung out of your , read about the Pendulum Effect.
Finally, with your sensual nature, Mixed Synthesizers love mild weather, not too hot and not too cold, and you love all kinds of environments that appeal to your rich sensuality.
When you think of the Mixed Synthesizer Meta-type, think of the quintessential artistic entertainer and charmer. They may have trouble making decisions without reacting emotionally first, but then will express their thoughts dramatically. Delighting in the spotlight on the one hand, Mixed Synthesizers are extraordinarily idealistic and charitable about making the world around them a better place. Some words that best describe the Mixed Synthesizer are:
As a Mixed Synthesizer, you are driven by the dynamic emotional energy of the parasympathetic nervous system, which stimulates your passion and creativity. However, you are almost equally dominated by the sympathetic nervous system, which fuels your powerful intellect. Knowing how to keep in balance within these two powerful polarities is of the utmost importance for your physical, emotional, and mental health. Held hostage by your sympathetic nervous system, you could be pulled into the next faster , the Mixed Accelerator. Then you could easily slip into hyper-drive, putting too much pressure on your thyroid gland. This could lead to anxiety attacks or difficulty sleeping. You can't sustain that type of whirlwind energy for long periods, since it could cause your thyroid gland to slow down, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and irritability. Your less-than-efficient adrenal glands may even burn out, leading to more fatigue, an inability to heal, and even depression. You'll be susceptible to colds, flus, and even bronchitis. At that point, you may even crash into the just below yours, the Balanced Synthesizer. Low blood sugar attacks, sugar cravings, more weight gain, and severe depression could follow.
Knowing all about your Mixed Synthesizer Meta-type will teach you what your body 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 Mixed Synthesizer 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.
