Dr. Cam McDonald and Michele Scherr reveal the six HealthTypes—and why you're probably operating as the WRONG type right now:
1. ACTIVATOR – Initiates projects, thrives on variety, uses stress as fuel. Kryptonite: monotony.
2. GUARDIAN – Protects and supports, longest stress tolerance. Kryptonite: disconnection from trusted circle.
3. SENSOR – Strategic planner, heightened nervous system. Kryptonite: cold, noise, chaos.
4. CRUSADER – Mission-driven, high mental endurance. Kryptonite: mental work without rest.
5. DIPLOMAT – Finisher, considers all options, long-term focus. Kryptonite: urgency without warning.
6. CONNECTOR – Relationship builder, social glue, multitasks brilliantly. Kryptonite: social disconnection.
The Critical Insight: 70% of business owners are operating as the type they're ACTING like, not the type they ARE.
What calms a Sensor will STRESS an Activator. What energises a Connector will drain a Diplomat. Generic advice doesn't just fail - it actively harms your biology.
Your Type-Specific Business Blueprint
You'll complete your personalised plan during the session:
Environment Design: Office setup, temperature, noise tolerance, social connection needs
Schedule Restructuring: When to do demanding work based on YOUR energy windows, peak performance times, rest and recovery timing
Recovery Protocols: Type-specific breaks, meal timing, movement, sleep requirements (7-9+ hours by type)
Rolling Work Intensity Model: Daily through annual cycles—peak windows, sprint periods, strategic planning phases
This isn't theory. It's your completed blueprint for sustainable, high-performance success.
The ROI of Biological Alignment
When you map your business onto your biology:
- 20-45% productivity increase (depending on type)
- 40-60% reduction in sick days
- 3.57x better decision quality
- 2-3x revenue growth over 5 years (sustainable trajectory)
This is competitive advantage.
This is the difference between burning out at $500K and sustaining growth to $2M. Between working 70-hour weeks and working 45 focused hours. Between forcing yourself through the day and operating in flow.
Your business should serve you, not burn you out.
What You'll Walk Away With
- Your roadmap to identifying your HealthType
- Insights Type-specific stress management protocols
- Daily, weekly, and quarterly optimisation schedules
The Bottom Line
"You're not broken, lazy or bad at business."
You're just operating as the wrong type.
And once you know YOUR type, everything changes.
