Guardian Biotype

The Guardian biotype is pure endomorph (high proportion of fat tissue). Guardians have sturdy bodies that tend to retain energy stores because they are humans designed to conserve and protect. They are the most family-focused biotype and often neglect exercise and personal care to fulfill the needs of others.

Guardians are well suited to a vegetarian diet. Like Diplomats, they tend to be night  owls and are good candidates for intermittent fasting and lower carbs, particularly in the evening. 

Guardians respond well to heavy strength work and low intensity cardio. A Guardian can benefit from having a PT as an accountabilibuddy. It's especially helpful for a Guardian to attend the gym with a family member for support. 

Guardians sit on the top right of the circle. Check out the other biotypes around the wheel - Diplomats,  Sensors, Crusaders, Activators and Connectors.
