Have a Pear Body Type? Eat Right &
Shrink Where You Most Want To

The pear body type, also known as the Gaia type, has a unique way of eating that works best for you. If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, it’s because you haven’t yet tried eating right for your specific body type.

What if you could unlock your body’s superpowers? By changing just a few things about the way you eat, you can reshape the areas of your body that have been the same your entire adult life.

Sue-Anne Hickey naturopath helping women with the pear body type lose weight naturally

I’m Sue-Anne Hickey, creator of Bodytypology — the system for lasting weight loss. As a naturopath, I work with clients around the world, specializing in helping women with a pear body type lose weight, balance their hormones, and feel amazing.

I teach you exactly what foods to eat and when to eat them, so you can shrink your body where you most want to.

What Is the Pear Body Type?

The pear body type, or Gaia type, relates to the ovaries and is unique to women. If you’re a pear body type, you tend to gain weight on the lower body — saddlebags on the thighs, hips, or buttocks — and you’ve probably had cellulite for as long as you can remember.

Why Diets Don’t Work for Pear Body Types

Most of my pear body type clients have tried countless diets and nothing ever worked. Of course not! One-size-fits-all never works.

When you eat for your pear body type:

  • You give your body the right foods at the right time
  • You eat bigger meals when your metabolism is highest
  • You eat lighter when your metabolism is slower
  • You balance your glands and hormones so the weight comes off easily — and stays off

The result? More energy, fewer cravings, and weight loss right where you want it most.

Energy Levels of the Pear Body Type

The pear body type generally needs more sleep than other types. Energy increases as the day goes on, but those with hypoglycemia may feel a crash around 4 PM. Some get a second wind later at night, but many are in bed by 10 or 11.

You tend to move at a slower pace, and it’s important to honor that. While you may feel weaker compared to other types, your energy actually lasts the longest when balanced.

Personality Traits of the Pear Body Type

The ovaries are the gland of affection, kindness, harmony, empathy, and love. Pear body types are known for warmth, generosity, and genuine care for others.

  • Many pear body types are in the helping professions: nurses, teachers, social workers, massage therapists.
  • Relationships, family, and children are very important. You often thrive at home, caring for loved ones.
  • You dislike conflict, prefer harmony, and value strong, lasting bonds.

The challenge? Pear body types often take care of others so much that they forget to take care of themselves.

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

Pear body types often crave food after dinner or late at night, including:

  • Butter, cream, peanut butter
  • Salty foods like fries or chips
  • Creamy sauces and dressings
  • Spicy or fried foods
  • Sweets

These cravings are often tied to emotions and affection. Sometimes, what you really need is a hug — not a snack!

Common Ailments of the Gaia Body Type

Because the pear body type relates to the ovaries, common issues include:

  • PMS, endometriosis, fibroids, infertility
  • Breast or uterine cysts
  • Varicose veins, cellulite, swollen ankles
  • Constipation and digestive sluggishness
  • Fatigue or burnout from over-caring for others

Detox and improved circulation are especially important for pear types, as your body tends to accumulate toxins more easily.

Physical Traits of the Pear Body Type

Pear body types often say: “Why do I always gain weight there?”

Traits include:

  • Weight gain on the lower body (hips, thighs, buttocks)
  • Smaller to medium-sized upper body
  • Curved lower back, pronounced buttocks
  • Long-standing cellulite in the lower body
