Matching your biochemistry with the right food chemistry, Metabolic Balance® is easy-to-follow and designed for your lifestyle.

This is not a diet. This is a whole-body approach to weight and wellbeing – without shakes, fasting or pills.

In fact, if you finally want to get off the dieting merry-go-round, then Metabolic Balance® might be for you.

Tiredness? Weight gain? Low moods? Your body is signalling it’s out of balance. Here’s how we address that.

Metabolic Balance® is all about you – your blood values, health profile, goals, and preferences – which means no two plans are alike.

It matches your biochemistry with the right food chemistry to come up with an easy-to-follow personalised nutrition plan, designed to suit your lifestyle.

Combining this with a high level of support from a practitioner who has been through the program herself (that’s me!), means you're in the best position to achieve long-lasting success.

I introduced Metabolic Balance® into my clinic as I could see there were excellent results for clients with migraine and other health issues such as low energy and weight gain. But, Metabolic Balance® is for every body!

The program is a whole-body approach to weight loss that often sees other health conditions – like hormone imbalance, low mood or loss of libido – clear up at the same time.

The plan is designed to fit into your lifestyle so you can make lasting change. In fact, an International study found that Metabolic Balance® participants kept the weight off longer than any other weight loss plan out there.

Importantly, you also experience the relief of knowing you’re following a clinically-proven program, not a fad diet.

Not just weight loss

Metabolic Balance® is designed to normalise hormone and insulin levels and has been beneficial for conditions such as autoimmune conditions, migraine thyroid imbalances, high cholesterol, asthma, skin conditions, PCOS, endometriosis, diabetes, and menopause management and many other chronic, debilitating conditions.

The process

  • In this initial consultation we will discuss everything about your health, what’s currently going on for you, your medical history, your family medical history, and your diet and lifestyle habits.

  • The next step on your Metabolic Balance journey is to head to your local pathology clinic and get a comprehensive blood test. We will need this in order to create your personalised nutrition plan. Your test referrals and costs is included in the program.

  • Once you’ve had your initial consultation, a full health history has been taken, your body measurements have been collected and your blood tests are back, this data will be used to create a personalised nutrition plan for you.

  • Once we have gone through your nutrition plan, we will meet again for another 6 coaching sessions over the following 12 weeks. In these consultations, we will see how you’re tracking, discuss what’s coming up in the next phase and go through anything else you might need to work through. These consultations play an important role in your Metabolic Balance journey.

What makes Metabolic Balance® different?

Personalised Approach: Metabolic Balance® provides a personalised nutrition plan based on your individual blood test results, health information, and specific dietary needs. This tailored approach aims to address metabolic imbalances and promote overall health.

Weight Loss: The program focuses on providing the exact nutrition that your cells need, so you achieve overall better health. When we reach a healthier state, the body releases excess weight. Additionally, in the early phases of Metabolic Balance®, a meal plan provides the exact portions to eat to achieve weight loss, quickly.

Balanced Nutrition: Metabolic Balance® emphasises a balanced intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and encourages whole, unprocessed foods. The program aims to provide essential nutrients and maintain a balanced metabolic state. No food groups are excluded - a healthy balance of protein, carbs and fats are included.

Blood Sugar Regulation: By focusing on specific food combinations and portion sizes, Metabolic Balance® aims to help regulate blood sugar levels. This may be particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes.

Individualised Food Selection: Metabolic Balance® provides a list of recommended foods for each individual based on your blood test results. This helps you make informed choices about the foods you consume, potentially leading to better overall nutrition.

Long-term Behavior Change: The program aims to promote sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick-fix solutions. By encouraging you to develop healthier eating habits and make better food choices, the result is long-term weight management and improved overall well-being. (In fact, research has found that Metabolic Balance® provides the greatest success in this area.)

METABOLIC BALANCE® FAQs

How long does it take to get my plan generated?

It can take about 2 weeks for the process of having your Initial Consultation, organising blood tests and generating your plan.

Can I just purchase the plan without any follow up consultations?

No, a condition of joining Metabolic Balance® is to have a series of consultations to ensure your success on the plan.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, you can spread the cost of the program across 3 months.

My partner would like to do Metabolic Balance® as well. Can they just use my plan?

No, each plan is created specifically for you based on blood test results, health goals and other factors. Following someone else’s plan is unlikely to achieve results (and in fact may be detrimental to their health.)

Do I need to count calories on Metabolic Balance®

No

Can I have all my appointments online?

Yes, absolutely, consultations can be held on Zoom. You will need to visit a local pathology centre for blood tests.

Is Metabolic Balance® suitable if I have migraine?

Yes, the reason I introduced Metabolic Balance® in to my clinic was because of the positive results the program has shown for those with migraine.

Why does Metabolic Balance® cost more than other programs?

Metabolic Balance® is a personalised nutrition program. It is not a one-size-fits-all program based on your weight and height (although those factors are taken into account.)

Your individual program is based on your individual blood parameters - in fact, 36 of them. Your food plan is generated based on not just the results of these individual blood parameters but also how they interplay with each other. Your food plan is as individual as your fingerprint.

So, the Metabolic Balance® program includes:

  • An Initial Consultation and Health Assessment (75 minutes) with a qualified practitioner who has completed the Metabolic Balance® training

  • Blood test for 36 blood values

  • Generation of your individual plan and food list by Metabolic Balance® in Germany, based on your health assessment, goals, food preferences and the blood values

  • A consultation with your practitioner to hand over and explain the plan (60 minutes)

  • Seven follow-up consultations with your practitioner over the program to support you as you move through the plan phases, providing coaching, support, individualised tweaks to the plan and accountability

  • The Metabolic Balance® app, which you can use to access your food plan and food lists (so handy when out shopping)

  • Metabolic Balance® Companion Guide (A 100-page tips and recipe eBook)

  • Insulated lunchbox and flask to make it easy to take your Metabolic Balance® meal creations with you wherever you go (and increase your chance of succeeding)

  • Plus, because any change requires a positive mindset, I also provide a Mindset Workbook to support clients in diving deep into themselves and achieving lasting change.

This is all included to set you up to succeed. The program is not about selling you special foods, supplements, shakes or pills that help you lose weight in the short term but isn't sustainable, so you keep coming back and back to buy more.

With Metabolic Balance®, we want you to achieve sustainable, long-term health benefits that see you achieve the weight that is optimum for your body and stay there. Learning new habits can take time, and support is often needed, which is why a number of consults are included in the package.

In fact, these appointments are so key to the success of the program, that Metabolic Balance® will not permit anyone to sell the plan without a package of consultations.

The added benefit of being able to do the consults via Zoom is fantastic! Josie has supported and encouraged me on my Metabolic Balance Journey, and my health has improved greatly since starting. I would highly recommend Josie to anyone who is seeking the help and advice of a naturopath.”
