Who has a body like you?
Expressing yourself is vital
Your body naturally prefers a drier environment with plenty of warmth and ample opportunity to express yourself. Never keep your feelings in!
Movement is super important to your body especially explosive types - it helps you relax as well as stay energised.
Relaxing at the end of the day helps you sleep better - try some gentle movement to help wind down and deplete your energy before bed.

Activators are Active! In mind AND body.
You’ll stick to discipline but like to be impulsive. You’re fast to react and respond easily to unpredictability.
Change, diversity, movement and dynamic endeavors sound better than sedentary or rote tasks, right?
You're the DO-er. Getting things done before some others even think about it.
That makes you a great motivator and an inspiring leader.
You are expressive and enthusiastic and sometimes acting before you think gets you into trouble - but we wouldn't have you any other way because you put the fire into everyone's lives!
How do we know? It's in your body. You’ve just completed the Shae Personal Health Assessment and, from the data you gave, science can recognize how your body developed from the womb which, in turn, allows us to understand how your body and mind naturally function.
The right nutrition helps - a LOT!
Food gives us energy AND the building blocks to recover and repair. When you choose the right foods you can build your ideal body from the inside out. An Activator body needs to:
- Eat a variety of foods including fruits and meats, but try to limit your grains and dairy. Your body requires clean animal protein to repair muscles, tendons and connective tissue.
- Consider fats and proteins important, especially during the colder months. Adding an annual Detox in the Spring can support your liver to cleanse and function well for the rest of the year.
- eat well because if you're eating things like sugary desserts, prepackaged or fried foods (like French fries and chips) then you may be less energetic, less happy or less motivated to the point of lethargy - simply due to poor nutrition.
- Include antioxidants and essential fatty acids like flaxseed and/or fish oil to support your overall health.
