The Crusader,

Always chasing the next challenge, you move through life with sharp purpose and unwavering focus.

The never-ever-give-up
Crusader

The Crusader is driven to achieve and frequently succeed when your goals require a high level of mental and physical work. You are self-determined (without the need for constant praise and feedback), willing to take risks and make large efforts to create your ideas. You may also sacrifice a lot to achieve what you believe you must.

You enjoy a challenge, do well with routine, are dependable, responsible and perceived as intelligent. You prefer predictability, reliability and willingly accept responsibility.

Make it your priority and it WILL happen

You have an insatiable curiosity which feeds your drive for knowledge and you tend to seek out lots of detail and thrive when learning and creating. Competitive and ambitious, you strive for accuracy in order to be authoritative and correct in your positions. Little external motivation is required and you often pursue your goals relentlessly. However, the feeling of accomplishment is often increased when acknowledged by someone who understands your driving force or when it is paired with status or gifts of quality.

You prefer to be in charge of your own situations and are skeptical to accept new ideas without absolute proof. With that in mind, we invite your to continue your exploration of HealthTypes and personalized, precision health.

What your biology reveals
about you

How do we know this? It’s in your body. 

Science can recognize how your body developed from the womb which, in turn, allows us to understand how your body naturally functions.

As an embryo develops, one of the germ layers (through gastrulation) may become more dominant, influencing which organs are strongest, and which neurotransmitters and hormones will be most prevalent.

The germ layers that developed with predominance in your case were the ectoderm and mesoderm. The ectoderm leads to the development of the neural tube (brain and spinal cord), the neural crest and the outer epithelium of the body (the skin). 

Cardiac and skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, blood vessels, connective tissues, the kidney, heart, viscera and adrenal cortex develop from the mesoderm layer.

These focus points during development mean that you are highly efficient and productive both physically and mentally.  You are mentally aware of all the possible changes in your immediate and future happenings and will adjust your daily priorities and tasks to take action according to which will give you the best outcomes in line with your goals.

Your naturally higher levels of dopamine than other HealthTypes gives rise to some of your common characteristics relating to achievement and success: these are not just things you enjoy – you need them to be healthy and satisfied.

LIFESTYLE

A healthy body just makes life even better

As a Crusader, consistent training will have a positive effect on your physical health as well as your mental clarity, stress release and overall productivity. Rhythmic exercise like cycling and running, sports that allow physical prowess and status or strategic sports also stimulate your mental wellbeing.

However not only is it what you do, but how, when and where you do it that makes the difference between a healthy lifestyle and an optimized life. Knowing your unique chronobiological, social and environmental needs allow you to achieve your ultimate performance in the most efficient way.

You’re probably already eating a ‘healthy’ diet, right? You’re disciplined, and have no troubles following a food plan if you understand the reasoning. The key for you is to know the specifics that are right for your unique body. Carbohydrates are essential for you to maintain your physical and mental energy during the day. Diet regimes like Paleo or Fasting that do not provide for this constant energy source can lead to problems in energy and pain.

Just knowing and understanding the simple fact that constantly providing sufficient fuel of the correct type for your body and brain, can be life-changing.
