The Connector HealthType
You are literally the ultimate people-person – the one who everyone wants at a party because everyone is happier when you’re around and feeling good!
Always bringing people together with warmth and energy, the Connector is naturally magnetic.
The glue that brings - and keeps - us all together!
Connectors are people-people! You naturally consider the needs of others, are open and friendly, helpful, available, forgiving, kind, and affectionate.
Because of how your mind and body work, talking to others is really good for you. You’re a good teammate, have great ideas that you love to share, frequently think out loud, and can often manage multiple tasks throughout the day, although not necessarily all at the same time.Â
You tend to feel things very physically and touch, hugs, good food, and physical pleasures are what make life great. When you choose to, you can be a fabulous leader, very persuasive and influential.
You bring light to peoples' lives
But it can be hard these days when people are too busy to respond to you or when it feels like you’re forced into long-term, mundane things… because, unlike some other people, that’s just not YOU! You’re the lovable puppy that needs freedom, movement, connection and love!
Your influence is far reaching – your smile infectious and your heart overpoweringly filled with joy and bursting with love! People love being around you and you love being around them. Talking and making people feel special are your gifts…
Change and variety is the spice of your life! You’re adaptable and living in the moment is ideal (especially when you have people around you to support your stability). Your body is strong, and very resilient – so much so that losing weight can sometimes take you 3 months of work to see a result!
What your biology reveals
about you
How do we know this? It’s in your body.Â
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 mesoderm and endoderm.Â
The bronchi, lungs, the digestive tube composed of the pancreas, liver, thymus and prostate, the pharynx and thyroid develop from the endoderm layer. Â
Cardiac and skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, blood vessels, connective tissues, the kidney, heart, viscera and adrenal cortex develop from the mesoderm layer.
With those focal points in mind, your body responds well to activity and change. It is also resilient with a robust gut. But it also means that you generally won’t see immediate changes when you change your lifestyle. It might take anywhere up to three months for big change, but when it does, boy can you notice it!
A healthy body just makes life even better
As a Connector, movement is your friend Even though sometimes you might feel like it’s a lot of effort, the more you move the better you’ll feel! But most importantly it MUST be fun! Entertaining! Something that you really love to do!
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.
Where would we be without food? It’s delicious, nutritious and there is so much to choose from! Going out for a meal, having people over for dinner, or just grabbing a bite while you chat is perfect way for you to stay healthy while you eat. Then it’s just a matter of choosing the right things!
Your body is really resilient and this is such a blessing because it means your digestive system is usually more robust than other HealthTypes! A wide variety of foods is really healthy – eat the rainbow but steer clear of too many sugars! Even knowing that one simple tip can help make sure your mood stays optimistic, your self esteem soars and you’re not bothered with fluctuations in blood pressure.
Imagine the possibility of effortlessly knowing precisely which foods will you support you best.
