Dr. Laura Power is a research scientist, licensed clinical nutritionist, and lecturer who has spent 20 years measuring and identifying human biological types. Through her Biotype Research Corporation, she has conducted two major research projects in two areas of human physiology and nutrition. The first set of research studies identifies 8 Biotypes based on hormone patterns, body types, metabolism and nutrition -- with separate data for males and females. The second set of research studies identifies 5 Biotype Diets based on blood types correlated to 4 kinds of food allergies. Both projects took approximately 20 years each, and were conducted simultaneously. She holds numerous copyrights, trademarks, and has a patent pending. She has several other exciting research projects planned for the future.

She holds a Masters Degree in Nutritional Sciences (nutritional biochemistry) from the University of Maryland, and a doctorate degree in Clinical Nutrition (holistic) from International University. While at University of Maryland she pioneered the first pilot studies in blood types and food allergies. She has studied Immunology, Allergy, and Epidemiology at the National Institutes of Health Graduate School (FAES). She is a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist in Maryland. She is a member of the Maryland Nutritionists Association and the American College of Nutrition, and founded the Virginia Nutritionists Association.

Dario Nardi, PhD, the supporting author, is a senior lecturer at University of California at Los Angeles. He is also a published author and a public speaker and trainer. He brings his existing loyal readership, a venue for giving workshops nationwide, and expertise in the latest research methods.

At UCLA, Professor Nardi has taught in four departments: Anthropology, the Honors program, Human Complex Systems and Program in Computing. His PhD is in Systems Science from the State University of New York at Binghamton. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering from University of Southern California. In his classes, he has used small portions of The 8 Biotypes with undergraduate liberal arts students and has found great success and strong interest. His average course rating from UCLA students over 6 years is an exceptional 8.4 out of 9 stars.

Among various research projects, Professor Nardi has created a computer model of the body's hormone system. The computer model captures various hormone effects on body shape, metabolism, toxemia and personality. It helps validate Dr. Power's theory of The Eight Biotypes. He is currently creating an interactive webpage that allows users to enter vital statistics and get back a computer-generated biotype profile. This will provide a tremendous promotional tool to coincide with publication of 8 biotypes since everyone who obtains a profile will need the information in the book to improve their health.

Professor Nardi is certified in psychological testing, having trained under Dr. Linda Berens (www.lindaberens.com) in Huntington Beach, CA since 1993. Professor Nardi gives workshops on topics related to personality, helping people discover the commonalities and differences that make a difference.

His solo-authored 132 page booklet, Personality and Multiple Intelligences, continues his average of 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Other works include: Character and Personality Type: Discovering Your Uniqueness for Career and Relationship Success, and the instant hit, Quick Guide to the 16 Personality Types in Organizations. The popularity of these works demonstrate his ability to convey complex ideas in a captivating way. Each year, Professor Nardi also writes a minimum of four to five popular articles for lay-readers and for professional users of personality theories. His article on hormones and personality generated positive responses from readers. Professor Nardi provides expertise about the ways that the endocrine system affects emotions and personality.
