The Balanced body type often appears as a combination of other body types. They appear this way because a Balanced person doesn't have a dominant gland, system or organ (unlike the other 24 body types), their body balances all the glands, organs and systems. The identifying characteristic of the Balanced type is a long waist with short to average legs, or a short waist with long legs.

When a female Balanced body type smiles, one is immediately drawn to her bright, sparkling, expressive eyes. Her main distinguishing physical feature is her flat and droopy buttocks, which is also the location of her initial weight gain. From there, she experiences a secondary weight gain that extends into her lower abdomen, waist and her upper and/or lower hips.

The male Balanced type may have wide hips and tends to be average to very tall. His torso and musculature are average. His initial weight gain manifests as solid musculature in his lower to entire abdomen, and a solid thickening around his waist. A male Balanced type may also may have a soft layer of fat covering his abdomen. Physical characteristics show a strong secondary gland influence; this can cause him to look a lot like another type (yet not quite "fit.").

Sensitive by nature, Balanced types have a fragile equilibrium and will go to great lengths to maintain their delicate balance - especially concerning work and play. Pursuing their passion and enjoying a sense of adventure, travel, and a lust for life helps Balanced types release stress and rejuvenate. Although Balanced types are extremely social and the life of the party, they can be very wary about forming deep new friendships. This fear of intimacy causes them to nurture relationships very slowly, often limiting them to a few close friends. Motivated by a need for acceptance, Balanced types often suppress or deny their feelings. These suppressed emotions typically manifest as physical complaints, such as headaches and digestive problems. Imaginative and creative, their acute sight, hearing and touch are balanced with a natural rhythm and timing. This rhythm and timing allows the Balanced type to discover their inner sense of stability and balance.

No one gland or organ is dominant in the Balanced body type. All glands, organs and systems must work together harmoniously for optimal functioning.

Balanced body types need variety in their diets and do best when they rotate their foods They want to emphasize protein and fat for lunch, and vegetables for dinner. Best cuisine bets are Chinese, Thai, Japanese (including sushi), Moroccan, Mexican, French and Italian.
