Body Types and Weight Loss
Body types and weight loss go hand in hand. Because one-size-fits-all never works!
Are you at the heaviest weight you’ve ever been?
Have you tried every diet and nothing works?
Do you find yourself eating mindlessly, stress eating, or emotional eating between meals?
I get it. I’ve helped hundreds of women who were in the exact same place — frustrated, discouraged, and wondering if lasting weight loss was even possible.
Why Body Types Matter
Most diets ignore body types and weight loss, which is why they fail. But your metabolism, cravings, and energy are driven by your dominant gland — your body type. In Bodytypology, we connect body types and weight loss with simple daily habits.
We work with three female body types:
- Gaia Body Type (formerly called pear-shaped)
- Athena Body Type (often called the apple shaped body type)
- Sonic Body Type (slimmer, quick-burning type)
Once you know your type, you’ll finally understand why other diets didn’t work and how to eat right for your body to unlock natural weight loss that lasts.
The 3 Body Types and Weight Loss Explained
Gaia Body Type (Pear Shaped)
Women with the Gaia Body Type carry extra weight in the hips, thighs, and buttocks. You may crave comfort foods, struggle with boundaries, and often put everyone else first. When out of balance, Gaia types face stubborn lower-body weight, hormonal swings, and emotional eating.
But when you eat right for your Gaia body type, your superpowers shine: balance, steadiness, and deep inner strength.
Athena Body Type (Apple Shaped)
Athena women have a dominant upper body, broad chest, and often carry weight in the belly, especially right under the chest. You’re strong, sociable, determined, and hardworking — but you may struggle with portion control, cravings for salty and fatty foods, and liver congestion.
That’s why apple shaped body type weight loss requires a specific plan. Once you fuel your body the right way, you burn fat naturally and regain energy, confidence, and control.
Sonic Body Type (gains weight like a spare tire)
The Sonic Type is slimmer, with a fast metabolism, often compared to a hummingbird. You crave quick energy foods like sugar or caffeine, and you may struggle with fatigue, anxiety, or unstable moods.
When you align your eating with your Sonic body type, your superpower of quickness and agility returns, and your energy stabilizes beautifully.

 Lesia lost 36 pounds |
I have been trying for 9 years to lose that 10 pounds. As an active runner, I found it so frustrating when the pounds just kept creeping up.
I have lost 25 pounds so far and maintained it for over a year, As well as the dangerous belly fat. My energy level is so much better and I can now get thru my days without that mid day slump.

Words cannot express how impressed I am with Sue-Anne’s Bodytypology program, especially how thorough it is. I used to think I was making healthy choices, but in reality there were a lot of areas where I had some dietary bad habits that were downright hindering my metabolism.
Sue-Anne’s program zoomed in on those areas, helping to change those habits and forming better ones through nutrition. As a result, I have more energy, feel better, my headaches have gone away and I have even shed 36 pounds.

I went to my family doctor yesterday morning for my check up. He is so happy with my health. Blood pressure is so perfect it scared him. According to his records I have lost 35.5 lbs since my last weigh in at his office.
He is very happy. I told him about you and he said it's working wonderfully for me, so keep it up. Thank you for helping me achieve such a good check up.

The Bodytypology program helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 14 lbs in 10 weeks! This was a battle I had been fighting for 5 long years. Best of all, I don't feel hungry all the time, I sleep better, and I have more energy.
Sue-Anne is a great coach! Her expert knowledge on the right foods to eat for my body type, her enthusiastic and positive attitude, and her gentle encouragement made it easy to make the changes in my diet.

Have you ever consulted someone and said to yourself, “Wow, this is exactly the person I need to help me?” In my case, Sue-Anne stood out from any other people I had consulted about nutrition in the past.
She took her time to explain everything to me, from help with lifestyle management to what kind of mindset pushes us towards chips or cake. I really appreciated the way she explained things I had been unable to comprehend in the past. I lost over 25 lbs!

I never thought it was possible! I have struggled with an extra 15-20 pounds for many years. Any effort that I made on my one could only get me to a 5-6 pound weight loss that I would gain back fairly quickly.
I lost 15.5 pounds in the 12 week program! My husband said to me the other day “Who are you and what have you done with my wife”!! I feel like a whole new person.
