My Personal Experience with Metabolic Balance®

For me, this programme became truly life-changing after my lipoedema surgery. Post-surgery, I needed a way to reduce inflammation, support healing, and restore my energy. Metabolic Balance® provided the structure and guidance to nourish my body, stabilise my weight, and feel stronger from the inside out.

 

The first photo shows my body 7 months after my second surgery, while the other side shows my body after just 4 weeks on the Metabolic Balance® plan.

Beyond physical recovery, I experienced additional benefits:

 

  • No more migraines
  • Relief from aching joints
  • Increased resilience to stress
  • Stable and improved energy levels

 

The plan also helped me eliminate foods that, while generally healthy, didn’t suit my body, allowing me to optimise my nutrition for my unique needs.

 

This is why I’m so passionate about sharing the programme with others — I’ve experienced firsthand how powerful it can be.

What is Metabolic Balance®

Metabolic Balance® is a personalised nutrition programme designed uniquely for your body, based on a comprehensive analysis of your blood values.

 

For over 30 years, this proven method has helped people rebalance their metabolism, reduce inflammation—the root cause of many chronic conditions—and activate the body’s natural ability to burn fat. It’s not a fad, a detox, or a supplement package. It’s real food, structured in a way that works with your biology.

 

As you follow the programme, you’ll gain lifelong skills to nourish yourself in a way that supports energy, vitality, and long-term health. If you’ve been caught in the frustrating cycle of yo-yo dieting, Metabolic Balance® can finally help you break free, restoring balance from within and setting the foundation for lasting wellbeing.

ANON

Metabolic Balance® may be your opportunity to take control of your weight management and put an end to restrictive diets that don’t work long-term. 

Metabolic Balance® is a personalised programme designed to regulate your body’s weight and strengthen your metabolism while reducing inflammation (a driver of many chronic diseases and conditions).

Your individual Metabolic Balance® programme is created for you following the analysis of your blood test, reviewing your medical history, medications, supplements and lifestyle.

The four phases of your plan are created to help your body orchestrate the biochemical changes it needs to reach your weight and health goals. 

No pills, supplements or powders: simply nutrient dense food available from your local shops.

As a Metabolic Balance® Coach I will support you through the four phases of your personalised programme over 14 weeks. The programme requires commitment and so the coaching support is essential to ensure that you get the maximum benefit.

While the Metabolic Balance® programme has also been effective for addressing health issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type II diabetes. A study has shown the positive side effects of the health plan such as increased energy levels, vitality, healthy skin and increased quality of life.

FAQ’s

How do I get my Metabolic Balance® programme?

The first step is to complete a comprehensive online intake form and then you’re ready for your initial consultation. Together we look at your goals, your current health status and explore your medical history and any medications. We consider your food likes and dislikes, allergies and intolerances.

 

The next step is to arrange your blood test and to get some body composition details which will be helpful for us to monitor all the changes that occur during your programme.

 

If you live in, or are able to get to, London, then I recommend visiting TDL for your blood draw: The Doctors’ Laboratory, 76 Wimpole Street, London W1G 9RT.

 

If you can’t get to London easily, it’s no problem, I can arrange for a test kit to be posted to you and can recommend clinics in your area that can do the blood draw for you. This will incur additional phlebotomy charges for the blood draw (which you will pay directly to the clinic that you choose).

How do I get started on my plan?

Once your programme has been created we will have a consultation to discuss your eating plan.

 

During this session we will discuss Phase 1 (a 2 day Prepare phase) and Phase 2 (a 14 day Focused phase) of your personalised Metabolic Balance programme. Depending on your goals this phase can last longer than 14 days.

 

I will ensure that you understand your plan and answer any questions that you may have. My role will be to motivate support and explain what is happening to your body as you progress through the programme, helping you create health building habits and lifestyle adjustments. This coaching element is key to your success, helping you address any concerns or difficulties as they arise and, of course, celebrating with you at every Phase.

 

Your other consultations are then booked in to coincide with your moving to phase 3 and then phase 4 of your programme.

 

Phase 3 is the relaxed Experiment and Learn phase – a time where you can discover more about the foods that suit your body and health. Phase 4 is the Maintenance Phase, where you can continue to support your wellbeing and health.
