Charles Poliquin's Biosignature Modulation - What Your Body Fat Tells You About Your Hormone Profile
So What Can You Expect From Biosignature Modulation™
Well, you can obviously expect to lose body fat. You can, depending upon your body composition, expect to lose weight. For those pursuing physical excellence in any discipline, incorporating Biosignature Modulation™ into the training process yields a faster result, because improving the hormone profile has a significant impact on recovery. So it’s great for the bigger, faster, and stronger crowd as well. Specifically, though, how much fat can you lose?
Charles has a standard that he applies: for males, below 10% is optimal; for females; below 15%. Keep in mind, however, that Charles made his career on training Olympic and professional caliber athletes. If you fit in that category, we expect that you should be able to come in below 10% if you are a man – generally as low as 4-6%, depending on your sport, and below 12% if you are female.
If you are a member of the general population and you live in an urbane area, like New York City, then I generally apply the following standard: males should be able to achieve 12% if they are compliant (generally the biggest stumbling block), and females should be able to achieve 17%. That’s assuming four training units per week on a regular basis, and compliance to the nutritional and lifestyle modifications. Why isn’t the general population able to make the same progress?
Well, lots of times they are; I’m not saying it never happens, because it does, but athletes are athletes for a reason, and we’re not for the same reason: they had more gifted parents than we did. Seriously, though, the real reason is related to the area in which you live. Assuming no special toxicity issues, it is harder to get lean in a metropolis (because of stress) than it is if you live in a more rural area.
In order for your body to function optimally, it is important to achieve hormonal balance. In most cases, changing one hormone problem in your body alleviates problems caused by other hormones that are out of balance.
