What percentage of your Epigenetic Variation is Encapsulated by your Swami determined Genotype?

I find it interesting that the Genotype Diet book shows the standard diets for each Genotype, however it is unlikely that any person will fit a true 100% Genotype profile.  I'm curious to see the matched Genotype percentage range within the Swami user population.

Note: If you're Genotype has changed over time, just vote on your most recent Swami determined Genotype with the most accurate data to your knowledge.  Remember, you're choosing the Genotype that Swami selected...not a Genotype that you manually selected.

Feel free to post your individual percentage in the comments below.

I'm 42% Gatherer.

50% Hunter  

54% Hunter

right now 40 % Gatherer
but I started 37 % Explorer and I was Nomad in book

40 gatherer.. I would like to know what the other 60% might be.. but it does not say

40% Nomad

Quoted from Goldie

I would like to know what the other 60% might be.. but it does not say

Dr. D. has stated that the percentage shown is the amount of your characteristics that matched the listed Genotype on the first pass through the software.

The only statement that has been made about the remaining % is what of your characteristics didn't match the base Genotype.

Your diet is composed of food good for all of your characteristics...

35% Explorer.  Genotype book has me as Gatherer.  

I don't understand the % changes but I'm down to 46%. I started at 47%

here Ruby and Goldie

100% would indicate the profile in the book exactly matches you.
SWAMI adjusts the diet to meet your true profile.

45% Warrior!

I follow Genotype, as opposed to SWAMI. In principle, that would mean I consider myself 100% Nomad. But I don't so consider myself. I just use Nomad guidelines and B-sec guidelines and whatever else and end up with my own mix.

Who's to say that I'm not treating myself as a 58% Nomad, say? Maybe I'm running, and practicing, an "intuitive" SWAMI, as opposed to going into computerized information technology?

Who among you can follow and dig what I just said?

43% Teacher

Since there are six GenoTypes, the lowest percentage one could be is 16.7%, which would mean that you match all GenoTypes equally.  But since some GenoTypes exclude certain blood types, the minimum percentage would be higher depending on your blood type.

Hey san j, I dig what you said.

Everyone uses their intuition with the diet whether they're following the Genotype book or Swami.  What really matters in the end is what works for YOUR body, regardless of the source of information.

What I like about Swami is:
  1. It automatically refines my diet by considering my specific attributes
  2. It includes a wider selection of foods

The second point is important because I am introduced to new foods with Swami that I may never would have considered trying.  My intuition can't tell me anything if I never try that food.

Either way, we all use our intuition.  The real question is: to what extent of information will satisfy our desire to perceive ourselves as living a healthy lifestyle?

Can anyone dig that?

the more info, the merrier!!!

The person you were quoting was me, but your quote box doesn't say it - don't know why.
But, yeah, Lola. Of all people, you know how different everyone is.
You used to have ISTJ posted next to your shield.
I think the STs and the NFs of the world differ markedly on this info-tech ethos. It's one way to see it...

Quoted from san j

Who among you can follow and dig what I just said?

I can, totally.  NF here.  SWAMI makes things easier, but flying on one's own is great if that's what works for you.  

41% explorer, went down from 44% when I changed my somatotype. Was Teacher in the GT book.

60% Hunter here - also an 'NF'.

Andy  

Quoted from Munchkin76

60% Hunter here - also an 'NF'.

Andy  

That's interesting.  I am also a 60% Hunter but I am an ISTJ.  Because Hunters tend to be ISJ's, you must match other hunter characteristics that I don't.

As AB Joe says, the percentage is not the 'how much' you are of that GenoType, it is how much of the variation that characterizes you is contained in that 'first pass' of the GenoTyping process.

Quoted from Dr. D

As AB Joe says, the percentage is not the 'how much' you are of that GenoType, it is how much of the variation that characterizes you is contained in that 'first pass' of the GenoTyping process.

How many passes are there?  What does that mean?     Would inputting one's haplogroup qualify as another pass?

Where abouts does one find what percentage genotype one is?

It is on page 4 or 5 of the diet report in SWAMI.

The percentage figure is only included in the diet report if:

You ask SWAMI to determine your GenoType for you
and you do not ask for an abbreviated diet report

Thank you C_sharp....I am 45% Nomad  

I am 51% Hunter also NF, INFP to be more precise.

Actually I didn't see anything on my results that mentioned anything about %s so I assume I am 100% Gatherer. Is there some place else I need to look?

you should rerun swami and make sure to check the no abbreviated report box

also let swami compute your genotype, instead of checking the specific genotype box
on the 4rth page of the report, it will give you the %

Quoted from focused

Actually I didn't see anything on my results that mentioned anything about %s so I assume I am 100% Gatherer. Is there some place else I need to look?

Yes, various choices in the Swami questionnaire determine the extent of your report.

In your Swami, scroll down to Box C: Preferences (this is the last box with drop down options).  Next to "Print Abbreviated Diet Report", select "No".

Try that option and your report should show you more information including the percentage of your epigenetic variation encapsulated by your Swami determined GenoType.  It should show on page 4 of your report.

Note that Swami gives you the option of having the Swami software determine your GenoType for you.  I recommend selecting this option and it is also what this poll intends to measure.  

To have Swami determine your GenoType for you, go to Box 2: Serotypes and Biomarkers, and select "Determine GenoType for me" in the drop down menu next to "GenoType".

Hope that helps.

Yes. That was it. The report shows 41% Gatherer, and I have been typed as a Gatherer.

Quoted from O in Virginia

  Would inputting one's haplogroup qualify as another pass?

mtDNA haplogroup didn't change my food list at all, whereas it caused dramatic changes in my daughter's food list. We're both Apos non-secretors.

Quoted from san j

Who among you can follow and dig what I just said?

Well,

ISFJ here....different for a 40% Swami explorer ....closely genotyped/strength tested by the book as a teacher.??
I am also wondering if finding my A sub group/haplogroup would change/solidify my recent Swami??

it is simply a able, don t get too hung up on it....
important is you enjoy your food choices and follow those accurately, to get the results you need

50% hunter

47% Explorer

  50% Teacher  

Of interest, I noticed that when I unmarked "white lines on fingerprints" (both hands for me), I jumped from 50% to 56% Explorer!

61% Warrior.

Interesting because I'm missing the whorls in my fingerprints.

Am I blind? I can't see my percentage.

you need to check the NOT abbreviated report box

Quoted from cajun

I am also wondering if finding my A sub group/haplogroup would change/solidify my recent Swami??

I'd be interested in seeing if this made a difference as well.

I'm 41% teacher in swami.

Quoted from bluejay

I'm 41% teacher in swami.

To see whether something would have an affect you can run SWAMI with a value set and not set and compare the diet reports generated.

What affects one person's report may not change a different person's report.

so if I voted between 41-50 % so how do we see the results for comparison .. will we all be in about the same middle,,

Hi Goldie,

Yes, good point.

Once you vote, you can see the results of the survey by increments of 10%.

For results within a 10% range, you can look at people's individual comments to see the actual percentage.  Currently, about half of the respondents are within the 41% - 50% range.

What's interesting is that most people fall in this middle range.  It questions many aspects of the Genotype methodology including genetics, controllable environmental factors, uncontrollable environmental factors, and the Genotype methodology itself.  It makes me wonder how a "100% true" Genotype is profiled in the book with most of the population falling in this middle range.

Quoted from Henriette Bsec

right now 40 % Gatherer
but I started 37 % Explorer and I was Nomad in book

Funny Henriette - I was the same - i was one point away from Explorer vs Nomad in the book, and then when I entered my SWAMI, it came up with 43% Gatherer.

We sound like two peas in a pod!

47% Gatherer.

64% Hunter

47% Explorer

45% Warrior

39% teacher

43% Gatherer, but Nomad according to the GTD book.  Gatherer lists work better for me.

Quoted Text

Gatherer lists work better for me

did you not just mention you are following your swami?

people might get confused by your input

40% Hunter

Okay, so further to my original post above - I'm 65% Hunter now. I guess increase relates to health issues input (never really had that right in the beginning) + now knowing I'm Haplo group X + testing MM. Have just sent off paternal DNA, so can't wait to see the effect that has Dr D is one smart cookie!

Andy

40% Explorer at present.  Hopefully my info input was correct.  I don't know haplogroup yet.

My characteristics fit the Nomad profile 63%.

Bring on the Manchego cheese, lamb, caviar, wine, and beer! Woooooooooohooooooooooo!

A little braggy, I know, but I am so happy that I was correct and my new naturopath (who will be an old one soon) was wrong. To think I wasted 5 minutes of an appointment arguing with him over whether or not any genotype can gain weight and have trouble losing it.

Melissa

Explorer 48%. Warrior according to Geno. Dr. D.'s description of the characteristics of an Explorer certainly don't match a lot of mine! Hair and eye color wrong. Not left-handed. Not Rh-negative. No anemia. Among a lot of other things. But who cares!?! When I think of the myriad health problems that so many people have and the way the decks are already stacked against non-secretors I don't have any complaints! I think trying to eat right all my life, and the twelve years on the BTD and Geno have paid off! Who knows what is ahead, but I plan to make the most of what this SWAMI plan has to offer!! to good health!!

42 % Gatherer and nothing else.. I am the same having entered 40 pounds less or more .. same thing..

50% explorer.

i knew the moment i read the descriptions on line. I was shocked that according tto the book, i was a Nomad, but after 6 weeks of following (and suffering) on the nomad diet, i splurged for the secretor test and swami ... a relief to find my instincts were correct.

Quoted from zenphoenix

50% explorer.

i knew the moment i read the descriptions on line.

Same here! When I read the Hunter description online- I was like "Yup that's me!"

The book typed me as a Gatherer, but my secretor test made me a Hunter. Intuition always is right.

In the GTD book advanced calculator I was an Explorer.  SWAMI says I'm 42% Teacher, which makes more sense.  

GTD says Gatherer, SWAMI says 44% Explorer...if I change my leg gap to andric instead of neutral, I'm 45% Hunter... guessing I'll become Hunter as I lose my last few pounds..

41% hunter

so according to the test.. if I am 42% then I am in a low (13) category?

In the end the diabetes Gene trumps me.. in everything.  

To think that this is so.. interesting for future generations that will grow up knowing decades earlier.. !  I just hope and wish for them to learn it early on.. and to believe it sufficiently to create a new future / maybe there-in is the cure for diabetes which has eluded science for so many years and so many dollars spent..

I was 49% Teacher, then I cleared the Myers-Briggs result box because I don't get consistent results with M-B. Having no M-B result in my SWAMI, I then became 50% Teacher. That's the only change I made, so unless it was an internal update...

Myers-Briggs changes typically move the percentage figure 1-2%.

HI all - I want to thank you for all your posts here on the SWAMI Xpress msg board - I'm SO excited to get my SWAMI - I ordered it last week. By the GTD book I'm Nomad and i'm looking forward to more and more information that it sounds like i will get with the software! I'll report back in on % when I get there!

make sure you let swami compute your GT for you

Interesting... Thanks C_sharp  

Yes - thank you Lola. I'm seeing through all these posts that many variables will constitute my GT with the SWAMI so I'll let it work and inform me!

ok - I finished the SWAMI data entry with the information that I have. I now have a new identity - Gatherer. By the book I was Nomad so I'm looking to focus on the food recommendations now for Gatherer.  I think the hardest for me will be giving up my coffee! Anyone have any tricks they have used in this process. It's the bold comfort of the taste in the morning. I'm happy to drink Yerba Mata and Green tea in the afternoon but there's something about that morning cup that just has to be coffee for me and espresso at that! .....I can do this....I can do this.....  Also, I see that mayonnaise is an avoid and one of my favorites is egg salad. suggestions for how to do a myonnaise-less egg salad?

You can make compliant mayonnaise from a vegetable oil that's compliant for you.

Yes, coffee is a toughie.  I've given it up hundreds of times.

I've gone back to steeping both Green Tea and Yerba Mate together.  Then I might drink it straight away, or I might add cocoa powder, ghee, salt and cinnamon for fun.  (Sweeteners are a self-imposed avoid for me, even though SWAMI lists a few as beneficial.)  It probably helps that I brew real coffee for my daughter at the same time.  This at least satisfies the olfactory sense.

Good luck!

More on coffee...

There's a Celestial Seasonings flavor called Roastaroma that taste nothing like coffee.  But it bears a little resemblance in some ways, and you might enjoy it.

Hard boiled eggs in tomato sauce taste really good.  I saw an Italian friend making sauce with the eggs in it, and I said "Yck."  So of course she insisted I try it.  It was fabulous.  Apparently it was done during the Depression when folks couldn't afford meat.  It's not egg salad, but it's another way to really enjoy hard-boiled eggs (if you can have tomatoes).

Got my swami, done last week 45% gatherer.  I replaced coffee with chicory root. which is neutral on my swami. I fix it just as I did my coffee in a drip coffee pot.

Thank you all for your coffee suggestions ! I'm traveling for a week for a family wedding so this was not the week to give it up. I'll start with all of these suggestions next week with the weaning off process. Meanwhile, I'm sure I'll have a latte in the airport on the way home

first attempt came out 59% gatherer but having added a bit more info it has dropped to 55%

Quoted from 14922

Intuition always is right.

Nope, not always. Reading the descriptions, I had myself pegged as Explorer. I measured out as a Gatherer according to the book. SWAMI has me as Gatherer as well (SWAMI pro, so I don't know my %.)

My SWAMI started out as 58% teacher, but has decreased to 53% after I entered in 3 more optional items. I should get my secretor/non-secretor results back this week. I'm wondering what that will change my teacher % to, if any. Also, I was also a teacher according to the GTD book.

Quoted from hopeful18

I'm wondering what that will change my teacher % to, if any.

Secretor will likely increase your percentage slightly (to perhaps 54%), nonsecretor would probably decrease your percentage slightly (to perhaps 50%),

My percentages have fluctuated the past few months with new information added - secretor status, Myers-Briggs, and now with re-doing my fingerprints (so hard to read then and now), my right hand is not symmetrical as we thought last year, same pattern but different distribution. I've gone for 43 - 48%. Currently 44%. Getting blood work done soon and so it will be interesting to see if the % changes again.

Explorer - 51%. First and second passes on Swami characteristics of Explorer. I wonder what the other percentages are, since I am allergic to some of the things on my beneficial and neutral Swami lists.

Quoted from D.L.

Explorer - 51%. First and second passes on Swami characteristics of Explorer. I wonder what the other percentages are, since I am allergic to some of the things on my beneficial and neutral Swami lists.

The percentage merely indicates what percentage of your characteristics match the characteristics of the major genotype.  The remainder is those that don't.  This is where a blend of your Genotype and BTD diets are very valuable to each individual.

Mine went from 33% to 32% last time I logged in, without making any changes.  I'm becoming less of a Nomad!!!!  OH NO!!!  Hhehehe

HI,
Where do you get percentage of your swami from?

Got it, thanks!! 43% Hunter, but may evolve to Explorer after blood test

47% Gatherer

Quoted from Henriette Bsec

right now 40 % Gatherer
but I started 37 % Explorer and I was Nomad in book

after filling everything in( family history)
- I am 42 % nomad

if the daily epigenetical changes are included...so my picture looks likeweise:




                      - 31% explorer
                      - 25% nomade
                      - 23% warrior
                      - 21% teacher




this gives me the profile of a fuzzy *explomade* .....

There is a reason why I call myself Chameleon  

no problems Hettilein... we can take it and bear it ...

but it was a long way until all WAS understood..... and if you're going to give a try and explain to *whitecoated* they think ya're mad...... they don't even expect to be wrong on their owns.....

46% Gatherer

I don't know yet. I'm an Explorer but my eating strength tests for Warrior, praise God

I would like to know this one day.  I wonder if one can have percentages from all 6 GT's or just the three for their own blood type.  I say this because neither of my parents share my blood type, though my sister may!  

I def feel i have some teacher aspects and warrior aspects, but the overall picture in the book of explorer described me scarily well, and the foods work great with me.  I also have some physical traits and mental aspects of the nomad (my dad is a nomad) and have some traits of my mom (my mom is a hunter).

oh so I went from 42 to 40%.. what else might I be for the other per cents

I went from 41% teacher to 39% teacher just recently.
If I only change southern Europe to western I go to 38% Explorer.
I really feel like I could do well with either diet...just seem to prefer the teacher.

Quoted from Goldie

oh so I went from 42 to 40%.. what else might I be for the other per cents

You're 40% Gatherer and 60% pure Goldie. That other 60% doesn't correlate with any genotype.

47% explorer  

No matter what I change about my profile, I stay a 50-60% Explorer.

I'm at 67% Hunter.  I just added my haplotype.

Henriette,
how do you come up with that breakdown?
