How do I determine MY
BIO-INDIVIDUALITY?

You're not a generic template. Your genetics, your body, your lifestyle — all yours alone. This assessment identifies your dosha: the pattern your body has run on your whole life. Once you know it, a lot of things start making sense — including why some advice has worked for you and so much else hasn't.

Pick whatever answer fits best — more than one if it applies. Answer based on how you've been most of your life, not just today. Thirteen quick questions, about two minutes.
