Energy Levels of the Pear Body Type

womansleeping

The pear body type generally needs more sleep than any other types! You have stable energy (unless consuming too much sugar). As the day progresses your energy increases. Those that have low blood sugar or hypoglycemia will tend to have an energy crash around 4 PM. A few Gonad types can get their second wind around and go to bed late, but many are in bed by 10 or 11.

Your type is not as strong as the others and you need to go at your own pace. You are slow moving and it is best for you to follow this slow pace. While you may be known as the weakest of the four types your energy will last the longest.

Personality Traits of the Pear Body Type

The ovaries are the gland of affection, emotion, attention, altruism, kindness, harmony, goodness, generosity and empathy. You have strong values, courage and will power. 

The pear body type is known for your warmth, love and genuine interest in others. You love to take care of others, the motherly type, the maternal instinct is very strong, and this distinguishes you from the other types. 75% of all nurses are Gonad Types, social workers, teachers, massage therapists, teachers, the helping professions. 

Being in a relationship is very important to you as is having children. While the Thyroid Type can’t wait to get out after having a baby, the Gonad Types are in their glory at home, love breast feeding for a lengthy period and being a mom. You love the responsibility. The home and land are very important to you and you prefer not to travel for too long. 

Does this sound like you?

Characteristics of the Pear Body Type

You are hard working, perseverant and patient. You have a high sense of responsibility and organization. We can count on you, you are very reliable. You do not like confrontations; you find them a waste of time. When there is a conflict (which may be rare as you normally disallow conflict) you have a good sense of justice and a way to balance things out. You tend to do a little too much for others and it can become stifling at times for your children or those you care for. You tend to be overly concerned for the welfare of your children. You dislike superficial things and competition.

You love to talk about life, exchange with others, share. You can project 20 years into the future, no problem.

What stresses you; competition, superficial relationships, or relationships that are not harmonious, changes in the program, financial risks, lack of order. You tend toward burn out at work because you work so hard. When your children leave home it is very hard on you.

You would do well by letting go, learning to live and let live, think more about yourself. The Pear body type usually takes care of others, ( they love to do this) and has a hard time taking care of herself!

Pear Body Type Food Cravings

The pear body type has cravings after dinner and at night more than at other times of the day.

The cravings include:

  • Butter, cream
  • Peanut butter
  • French fries, chips
  • Salty foods
  • Creamy sauces, rosé sauces, creamy salad dressings   
  • Spicy foods, Mexican food
  • Fatty or fried foods
  • Sweets  

Cravings after dinner may indicate a feeling of wanting some affection, especially if you feel your partner is not giving you enough attention. Perhaps Go and get a hug, instead of eating!

Common Ailments of the Adrenal Body Type

Typical problems relate to the reproductive organs, gynecological troubles and the lymphatic system. PMS, mastitis, infertility, fibroids, breast cysts or uterine cysts or tumors, endometriosis, menstrual problems, organs that descend and constipation.  You tend to have cellulite, varicose veins, leg pain, swelling, heaviness, swollen ankles, over weight.

You may tend towards burn out as you neglect yourself by taking care of others. You tend to have congestion, a lack of circulation in your body, your veins and your life.

Doing a detox is important for you to eliminate the toxins that you accumulate more easily than others. You need to get your blood circulating.

Cannot figure out my body type

Submitted by Moj
(Toronto, Canada)

Hi Sue-Anne,

To identify my body type, I took the quiz and it seems like I don't really fit into any one body type....According to the questionnaire, I have a Gonad type, but reading the descriptions, I think I am a Thyroid type....

So, my question:
Should I follow both Gonad and Thyroid?
Or just stick to the questionnaire result and go with Gonad?
Or stick to the Thyroid plan which is what I feel I am?


Thanks again for your help (and you book!)!

Hi Moj,

You are only one type and need only one plan.

If you were a thyroid type you generally would have long thin bones and a tall slender body with only weight gain in a spare tire around the middle.

You would have a lot of energy in the morning and by about 9:30 or 10 PM you would be ready for bed. Many Gonad types are able to stay up much later and some even get their second wind and can stay up until 2 0r 3 AM! That would Never happen for a thyroid type.

Gonad types tend to gain weight on the lower body. the lower body is bigger than the upper body. They have the saddle bags or pear shaped body. They tend to have cellulite and usually this started from teens or 20s.

Gonad types are caregivers and they often have a hard time taking care of themselves.

Thyroid types, when unbalanced will tend to reach for stimulants and sweets to keep themselves spiked up, coffee, tea, sweets, over and over throughout the day, some also smoke.

Gonad types will have more problems relating to the reproductive system, breast or ovarian cysts or fybroids, congestion of the lymph, PMS, menopause, etc.

Thyroid types will have more problems with the nervous system and digestive system, they worry alot!

If you have hypoglycemia,ie. low blood sugar when a meal is delayed, (causing, trembling, shakiness, dizziness, headaches, brain fog, irritability) then you would need the thyroid type plan until it is balanced.
