What Is the NMTA® Method?
NMTA® (NeuroMetabolic & Nutritional Temperament Analysis) is an innovative scientific method exclusively implemented at NMD Praxis.
It was developed by Dr. Angeliki Makri, a clinical dietitian specialized in metabolic rehabilitation and a PhD holder from the Medical School of Athens.
This unique method merges:
- The wisdom of Hippocratic and Pythagorean philosophy
- With cutting-edge disciplines such as Metabolomics, Nutrigenetics, and Neurobiology of stress and metabolism
NMTA® considers the individual’s unique temperament, biological parameters, and how they are affected by food, stress, and the environment.
Its goal is to create a fully personalized wellness plan that supports:
- the restoration of metabolic function,
- the management of chronic inflammatory stress,
- the balance of body, mind & nervous system
NMTA® is exclusively applied at NMD Praxis, offering individualized holistic health solutions tailored to your unique biology.
How the NMTA® Method Works
NMTA® is based on the principle that every person has a unique biology, and health is influenced by:
✔ metabolic function – how they respond to food, stress, and stimuli
✔ nutritional needs – what their body truly requires
✔ temperamental profile – a combination of genetic identity, biochemical and energetic processes
✔ interaction with the environment and lifestyle
By adapting nutrition and daily habits to the individual’s biological needs, NMTA® contributes to:
– regulate metabolism
– balance stress-related hormones
– enhance overall health and wellness
At NMD Praxis, the NMTA® method is used to investigate and uncover
the root cause of each issue. Firmly grounded in the principles of Integrative Medicine, our approach is dedicated to enhancing quality of life with precision and care.

The Importance of Temperament Analysis
In the NMTA® method, temperament is a fundamental foundation of metabolic balance.
It is defined as the innate biological predisposition that influences behavior, emotions, and the way each person interacts with their environment.
Combining genetic, physical, and psychological characteristics, it is based on the philosophy of Hippocrates and Pythagoras, where the four primary temperament types are formed by the interaction of four vital elements:
- blood,
- phlegm,
- yellow bile,
- and black bile.
Each individual carries a unique ratio of these elements, which affects:
- their physical condition,
- their mental balance,
- and their emotional function.
Temperament analysis through NMTA® is not merely theoretical. It serves as a guide that helps us deeply understand what each person needs, both physically and mentally.

Diet: Energizing foods, fresh fruits & vegetables
Exercise: Group classes, social sports
Nutrients: B-complex vitamins & adaptogens
🔥 Choleric (Energetic & Assertive)
Diet: Lean proteins & low glycemic foods
Exercise: High-intensity training
Nutrients: Magnesium, zinc, and metabolic regulators
🌑 Melancholic (Sensitive & Introspective)
Diet: Whole grains & slow-digesting carbohydrates
Exercise: Mindful movement, yoga, nature walks
Nutrients: Omega-3s, vitamin D
🌊 Phlegmatic (Calm & Grounded)
Diet: Balanced intake of healthy fats & complex carbs
Exercise: Moderate & consistent routines
Nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals
Understanding your constitutional type empowers you to adapt your nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle to support long-term health and balance.
Who is the NMTA® Method For?
Targeting root causes — Enhancing individual resilience and vitality
Temperament Analysis is a key component of Integrative Medicine.
It examines the human system through three lenses — organic, metabolic, and energetic and bridges Hippocratic medicine with modern science by applying the theory of humors to contemporary metabolomics.
The NMTA® Method also finds clinical relevance in various fields such as:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatrics
- Neurology
- Psychosomatic Medicine
- Gynecology
- General Medicine and Chronic Conditions

Step 2: Core Measurements & Metabolic Assessment
Mapping how your body produces and manages energy
Metabolic function plays a crucial role in energy regulation, weight management, and overall health.
Your resting metabolic rate and body composition are evaluated using advanced diagnostic technologies.
✔ Body Composition Analysis / Bioimpedance
Evaluation of muscle mass, fat percentage, and total body water.
✔ Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Measurement with FITMATE Technology
Determines your body's baseline energy expenditure at rest.
This specialized test provides insights into your ability to metabolize nutrients and manage energy demands.
✔ Energy Balance Analysis
Assesses the relationship between energy intake and expenditure to design a personalized plan for nutrition and physical activity.
Why is this important?
These measurements provide a data-driven foundation for developing a targeted strategy based on your body's real needs, supporting more effective weight control, energy optimization, and overall wellness.
