   Hi Dr. Saddique:
   
   Thanks for your Fellow One Research Participant, The Four Body Types’ Free Body Type Shape Quiz Calculator submission.
   
   Please carefully review the above post.
   
   After reviewing your Quiz data and images it appears that you are a Body Type Two (BT2) with likely underdeveloped thoracic 5, thoracic 11, thoracic 12, lumbar 1, lumbar 2, lumbar 3, lumbar 4, and lumbar 5 vertebrae. Your BT1 Classic Arch and Dimples do not look fully developed. Being a BT2 is supported by your statements, "If/when I put fat weight on my body, it is most likely that I will put the fat weight on in relation to: buttocks, lower midriff/waist/hips, middle back, lower back, lower side trunk/love handles, as accurately as I can figure." and "After reviewing my body, I am experiencing and/or have experienced skinny fat including thin fat, cellulite, crepey skin, loose/saggy skin, and/or normal weight obesity, in general, relative to: buttocks, lower midriff/waist/hips, middle back, lower back, lower side trunk/love handles, as far as I can tell." as well as "I feel back aches and pains in my body in relation to: thoracic 11, thoracic 12, lumbar 1, lumbar 2, lumbar 3, lumbar 4, lumbar 5, and it is directly relative to my Body Type Two (BT2).". Things are further supported by your slight moderate risk BMI.
   
   Please answer the following:
   
   Looking at the BT1 Dimples and Classic Arch here https://fellowone.com/fellow-one-research/the-four-body-types/
   
   A. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% fully developed, how Developed are your Body Type One (BT1) Dimples?
   B. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% fully developed, how Developed is your Body Type One (BT1) Classic Arch?
   
   All the years of your life, from 0-29, should be clearly represented in your answers. After double-checking the images here https://fellowone.com/fellow-one-research/the-four-body-types/
   
   C. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type One (BT1), if any?
   D. What years of your life did/have you looked like a Body Type Two (BT2)?
   E. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type Three (BT3), if any?
   F. What years of your life did you look like a Body Type Four (BT4), if any?
   
   G. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? Every human body is born the same, with the same muscle mass and development, as per every Standard Science/Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book (BT1). Obesity is solely/only about poor diet, laziness/no exercise, and unhealthy lifestyle habits.
   
   H. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? The spine/vertebrae (posture) & muscle/muscle mass are main, vital components in the scaffolding, structure, & metabolism of the human body as well as it’s balance, health, & appearance, no less, and directly affects body type (one of The Four Body Types).
   
   I. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being 100% True, True or False? Mainstream science is right, all any human being has to do to lose weight & look like a Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) is reduce daily calorie intake & increase daily calorie burn.

   1. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being Makes Real Logical And Reasonable Sense, how Logical And Reasonable would you say the Fellow One Research variables and data are, as you understand them now?
   
   2. As per #1, Why?
   

   3. What could be done better to help better explain and show the research data to date?

     1) 10
     
     2) Because its befitting for any kind of body. For instance, if I would have assumed that my body type is BT1, then in the end, after going through the explanations and data, I would be admitting that I have a BT2 body.
     Similarly, the second thing amazing about it is that it is discussing vertebrae underdevelopment and its correlation with the body type. I always thought why my lumbar section doesn't match the streamline actor's lumbar section images.
     
     3) Personally, I believe that the use of a 3-D image to make people understand about back arch can better explain this. Moreover, another thing that can be added is the question about "Is your back pain due to some pathological disease or not?" (If someone answers YES on having back pain now or ever in the past).
     
     Overall, it was really amazing and highly interesting to fulfill the research data requirements. I never felt boring or exhausted while doing so.

   Subject: MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Machine Question from a Licensed Doctor of Medicine

   Hi Gnosis:
   
   I’m Dr. Irfan, a licensed medical doctor. I have acquired my medical degree from the University of Health and Sciences, Lahore. I have vast experience in the medical field and have served in diverse wards including the Medicine ward, Surgery ward, Cardiology department, and Pediatrics. Moreover, I have organized many seminars on health and fitness at my Medical School. I have also worked voluntarily in low socioeconomic areas in the health sector. Currently, I’m working as a medical doctor in a specialized healthcare hospital at an administrative post.
   
   That is a brief overview of my medical background. I have a question about this research.
   
   Have you considered using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine to get more exact data and imaging in terms of how many underdeveloped vertebrae and muscles in any of The Four Body Types, including a BT2 body like mine?
   
   If yes, then with the help of MRI data and imaging how can I make my underdeveloped vertebrae and muscles developed regarding diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes?

     Yes, an MRI machine and respective laboratory setting to do more in-depth scientific research is indeed the main goal of this research. Between building research criteria and data on the cutting-edge of science and dealing with the global coronavirus pandemic, things have moved more slowly than wanted or anticipated.
     
     Can you please share your knowledge and experience when it comes to the benefits and advantages of an MRI machine? How does an MRI machine work? How many patients have you worked with directly in relation to an MRI? From the imaging you have seen, can an MRI take an accurate, clear enough scan and imaging of the human body to really see the spine, vertebrae, and muscles to compare to any Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) image to actually see underdeveloped/undeveloped vertebra(e) and muscle(s)?
     
     Your 2nd question will be addressed in a separate Reply.

       Let's start with the benefits of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). First of all, MRI provides a very detailed body image, including bone structures, muscles, and even blood vessels and blood circulation. Thus, it is a remarkable diagnostic tool in medical sciences. Second, MRI is a non-invasive modality which means that not even a scratch or needle mark is needed for an MRI. Third, there's no need to worry about radiation exposure because the traditions used in MRI are totally safe. That's why MRI can be carried out in children or pregnant women. Moreover, now open MRI machines are also available for claustrophobic patients.
       
       Now let's come to the second question about the working mechanism of the MRI machine. MRI machine uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to measure how water difference lies between different body tissues. Next, it uses this information to create a detailed image of the body. Then, this image is viewed on the testing screen. As our body consists of 65% water, its image based on water difference is very detailed.
       Considering my experience with MRI, I have worked with such patients who need MRI or have done MRI scans daily. On average, I encounter about 5-10 patients per week.
       
       Lastly, Yes, in my opinion, based on my experience in this field, MRI can take a clear enough and accurate scan of the body, providing you a very detailed image of spinal vertebrae, muscles, and surrounding soft tissues, which can then be compared to any Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) image. Comparing these, undeveloped/ underdeveloped vertebrae can be assessed.

         Thank you for the very detailed explanation.
         
         Getting to your second question, “If yes, then with the help of MRI data and imaging how can I make my underdeveloped vertebrae and muscles developed regarding diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes?”
         
         Diet and lifestyle matter; the more healthy the food (whole, organic) and drink (pure water) and the more healthy your daily lifestyle habits including sleep, career, partying, and hobbies, the more healthy your human body. Exercise also matters in relation to posture and muscles/muscle mass (disussed more below).
         
         Fixing your Body Type Two is really all about good/right posture. So, how does one achieve good/right posture? How do we even know what good/right posture is.
         
         If we reference the Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) image, good/right posture is no less than the full development and extension of all 26 vertebrae (33 bones) AND all muscles relative to those vertebrae, which is most (if not all) of the 600+ known muscles throughout the body.
         
         ________________________
         Step One: Identify Your Body Type
         ________________________
         
         Without real access to MRI machine technology to truly compare a whole-body MRI scan of the specific body to Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) imaging, we have to use a less accurate and technical option like the Fellow One Research, The Four Body Types Body Type Shape Quiz/Test Calculator.
         
         Once you are able to reasonably identify which vertebra(e) and relative muscle(s) are likely underdeveloped or undeveloped (if any) and you have a better sense of things, assuming your body does have underdeveloped/undeveloped vertebra(e) and muscle(s)/mass, the next step if finding a regime of exercises to begin strengthening, balancing, and fixing things.
         
         ________________________
         Step Two - Figuring Out the Best Exercises for Your Specific Body Type
         ________________________
         
         Yoga and its wide diversity of poses is well-known for helping you balance posture in general including your spine, spinal extension, vertebrae, and muscles to stretch, strengthen, tone, and improve your posture overall. Here is one research participant experimenting with the best yoga poses for her Body Type Two (BT2), which is an arduous process and likely will involve incorporating weightlifting resistance exercises as well.
         
         Calisthenics resistance exercises offer another solid array of useful exercises from which to choose to help balance, tone, stretch, and strengthen posture relative to specific vertebrae and muscles/mass. This research participant is experimenting with a range of calisthenic exercises to find what is best for his BT2, but he will also most probably have to find a way to add a proper weight lifting training route as well.
         
         The idea is not just adding muscle(s) to areas of your body that are lacking muscles or mass. It is adding it the right way. If you improperly add muscle(s) to areas of the body that are already unbalanced you can, indeed, increase/make the imbalance worse. Further, if you solely add muscle(s) by rote, repetitive means, then as soon as you stop doing the rote repetition you are likely going to start to lose the muscle gained. The key is finding a way to properly add muscle to the body as it works normally day-to-day so that the muscle added is required by the body day-to-day (and not required solely to perpetuate rote, repetitive actions).
         
         The human body is always, constantly working against gravity. We know this from NASA because as soon as an astronaut enters zero-gravity they begin to lose muscle and bone mass at an accelerated rate, which is why they are required to do daily exercise while in orbit/space. The same general principle holds true here on Earth. The human body, and more specifically the bones and muscles in the human body are working against gravity always, which is one way they are maintained.
         
         Thus, if you can find a way to also incorporate isometrics resistance into your daily exercises, particularly if you can learn how to do isometrics while walking relative to holding your posture right, you will be on your way to figuring out how to balance, strengthen, and fix/heal your underdeveloped/undeveloped vertebrae.
         
         This research participant has figured out a way to do this, although it is not really that much of help to you or anyone else because every person will have to figure out the right routine(s) for their specific body type, which is not easy and takes diligence, steadfastness, and follow-through, no less.
         
         ________________________
         Step Three - Doing the Real Work and Following-Through
         ________________________
         
         Muscle is the armor of the human body and is superior to fat in every way (perhaps insulation is the only exception), in that muscle burns (calories) and holds energy (calorie) much better than fat. If you do really figure out your diet, exercise, and lifestyle and then do the work and actually follow-through and truly fix your muscles/mass and posture, no less, what you achieve in the end is much better health. This includes the ability to hold the energy much better, which directly correlates to being able to better stand the heat (If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen) in day-to-day life and rise to higher levels of achievements in life (more resources and wealth).
         
         There is a reason that current data strongly indicates that less than 10% of the population is a true Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) - of that 10%, less than 1% of the entire population is a Super Star Professional Athlete, A-list star, and the like. Like it or not, body type (no less) matters (so does soul energy, but that is another conversation). The rest of us have work to do.
         
         ________________________
         
         In your experience with your patients and MRI machine scans over the years, have you ever looked at a full-body scan of an obese person and readily noticed that where they have more fat they have less muscle (less than the Standard Scientific Human Anatomy Book Body Type One says they should have)? Or, is The Four Body Types research information so new that you never really gave such things serious consideration, If any consideration at all?

           First of all, thanks a lot for such a beautiful description. I have read thoroughly and appreciate your answering in a well-detailed manner. I'm also very delighted to know that underdeveloped vertebrae can be put into development if we work out in a well-angled and discipline way with lifestyle changes and a healthy, nutritious diet.
           
           
           Regarding your question, yes, I have observed fat in the MRI scans as it takes the white color on scans. Mostly, it is located around the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, and waist.
           Answering your second question, I find this research informative and correlating with my observations in clinical practice and MRI reporting. I would even like to appreciate this research and initiative. Keep it up.

   Subject: Comparison of Real Medical Patient HD MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Image to The Four Body Type Research

   Hello Gnosis:
   
   Dr. Irfan here. I am interested in comparing one of my patient's real MRI scan images with the information provided in The Four Body Types research and my Body Type Quiz. First I'll discuss the patient's overview situation.
   
   She's a 26 years old obese female, presented with complaints of backache for the last two years. Her pain usually subsides when she's on analgesics (pain medications). However, while I was reading your research, I thought about this patient. I arranged for the patient's MRI to share here so that it can hopefully help me and others more clearly understand The Four Body Types research.
   
   Her MRI scan image shows marked straightening of the lumbar vertebrae spine area (BT1 Classic Arch) and medical problems in lumbar intervertebral discs. I consider this MRI scan to be a grounded, solid piece of scientific and medical evidence in assessing how human body fat ratio and vertebrae development/vertebrae problems are correlated. Thus, considering this in relation to the information in your research knowledge base, I would like to ask you whether it is possible for this patient to regain full vertebral development, get rid of her high-fat ratio, and relieve her backache with no meds, with only diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes?

     Hi Dr. Siddique:
     
     How tall is this patient (feet and inches)?
     How much do they weigh (in kilograms and pounds)?
     What is their Body Mass Index (BMI)?
     In your medical opinion, which of The Four Body Types do you think this patient is?
     
     In the photo sent, can you clarify what is considered normal muscles/muscle mass and what is considered fat? Is the fat abnormal?
     
     Is there any chance you can provide a similar relative MRI scan image (showing the same vertebrae and angle, etc.) of a normal Standard Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1) person to compare the two images? This would be very useful in helping the layperson (and even other medical professionals) better understand the difference between body types — how a BT1 vertebrae look compared to a lesser Body Type Two (BT2), Body Type Three (BT3), and Body Type Four (BT4).
     
     This is a model example of a Standard Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book Body Type One (BT1):
     
     

     
     
     Your question will be addressed once those clarifications are made. Thanks

       Yes. Sure. I’ll try to arrange an MRI of a typical Body Type One (BT1) person too for comparison.
       
       As far as this patient is considered, her weight is 79 Kg/174 pounds and body height is 5 feet, 2 inches which places her BMI at 31.9 in the high risk range. In my opinion, this patient is likely a Body Type Three. In addition, I observed a high proportion of fat around the lower, middle, and upper abdomen/stomach/midriff in this patient.
       
       I have uploaded the same MRI image again with fat and muscles marked to highlight the difference. Green marked white tissue is fat, which seems high in ratio, irregular and broad in this patient in proportion to others who are lean Body Type One (BT1). Most thin BT1 people have thin streaks of fat here.
       
       The tissue that is marked red is the muscle mass. If you want more clarification, I can send the transverse plane of this MRI too so that muscle mass can be seen more clearly. In that plane, one can clearly appreciate the high-fat ratio posterior to lumbar vertebrae.

         Thanks. That is all very helpful.
         
         The Transverse Plane image sounds like it would be very helpful, please do send asap.
         
         It seems that the Body Type One (BT1) MRI scan image would be useful here to understand the difference(s) when compared to the BT3 image?

           Gnosis, Always welcome.
           
           Firstly, I am sharing the transverse plane image of this MRI scan for better understanding. For illustration, a transverse plane is a horizontal cut of an MRI scan at different levels/scales of the human body to appreciate the anatomical structures clearly.
           
           Secondly, fat tissues give a white color on MRI while muscle tissues leave a black shadow so both can be differentiated from each other on MRI. To make it easier, I have highlighted the fat tissues with green outlines and muscles with red ones. As this patient belongs to Body Type Three, a high amount of fat tissue can be appreciated (highlighted by green outline) at the lower end of the image.
           
           Lastly, I'll see what I can do about an MRI of a Body Type One patient to better compare the Body Type One and Body Type Three on MRI scans. It can help to make things even more distinct.
           
           Regards,
           Dr. Irfan Siddique.

             Thank you for the MRI scans and points of view, Dr. Siddique, they are very intriguing. As these points of view and relative data are quite new to the average person, it is becoming more clear that having a Body Type Quiz to cross-reference with the MRI images is vital to really understand things from as whole a point of view as possible. Without at least the full-back, side-back, and abdominal/midriff/stomach images to compare and contrast with the MRI images, it is tough to really grasp and glean the meaning of things.
             
             I understand these MRI images are hard to acquire. I would assume it is not possible to get external images of the patient to see their Body Type Three (BT3) clearly from both the external Body Type Quiz images (full-back, side-back, and abdominal/midriff/stomach) and internal MRI scan imaging points of view? I assume the same is true for a Body Type One (BT1) patient?

               Sorry to say that I am afraid it might not be possible to get the external images of the same patient because some people might not offer consent for external body images.
               
               However, depending upon the patient's physical features and BMI, I hope this MRI can serve the purpose of providing us a clue of how a Body Type 3 looks internally.
