Metabolic Balance is not a temporary weight loss program. This is not about hitting your goal and being ‘done’. This is about a NEW way of eating and relationship with food.
Time to finally get your metabolism, weight, and hormones balanced the natural way
. . . with REAL food and without cravings!
✓ Stop feeling bloated after eating!
✓ End the crappy carb and sugar cravings!
✓ Finally fit into those skinny jeans!
✓ Donate extra “big” sizes of clothing in your closet!
✓ Get rid of that excess belly fat once and for all!
✓ Stop the weight creep year after year!
✓ Stabilize those “hangry” mood swings!
✓ Feel energized after eating, not fatigued!
✓ Finally feel confident around food!
Doing the same thing over and over will just lead to the same undesirable results over and over again!
Metabolic Balance is NOT a diet. A ‘diet’ is a temporary activity where you are just waiting to get back to your normal life. It feels like punishment. This is NOT what Metabolic Balance is about!
You shouldn’t have to feel this way when trying to lose weight. When your body and metabolism are out of balance, trying to lose weight seems like an uphill battle.
Metabolic Balance is a “lifestyle”, not a diet. And once you’ve lost the weight in Phase 2, when we move to Phase 3 and Phase 4, you will learn how to adapt your life and behaviors in ways that allow you to fit in treats and healthier (still tasty) alternatives, so that you can find your NEW normal that allows you to maintain your optimal weight and feel your best.
Get your blood sugar, metabolism and hormones balanced the healthy, natural way – with REAL, whole food and without all the cravings and fatigue.
Developed in Germany, Metabolic Balance is a 3-month program (average) designed to reset your body, which in turn naturally resets the hormones that regulate fat storage and the burning of fat.
Weight loss is a nice side effect of a balanced metabolism.
Our bodies produce too much insulin when we eat the wrong foods and especially when we eat too often or too much. Insulin is the storage hormone that STOPS our body from accessing fat storage (and from burning fat). When we keep our insulin levels low, we create more glucagon, which in turn tells the liver to start burning fat for energy.
Key to the success of the program is a blood test done at your local Quest Diagnostics to help determine which foods will work best with your body chemistry.
The 8 Rules for Success that every participant follows includes a 5-hour gap between meals and not mixing protein in the same day. Each type of protein only appears once daily in the meal plan. This is important in order to avoid excess of over-acidified amino acids and to ensure that your body is transforming the highest amount of protein from food into body protein.
Depending on the amount of weight a client has to lose, the first 2 to 3 weeks can result in 14 pounds or more in weight loss. A significant point to highlight is that this is NOT just water or lean muscle loss as with many diets, but includes fat loss! Metabolic Balance has been shown to increase the metabolic rate, rather than decrease it.
Weight loss is the very welcome side effect of following your own Metabolic Balance plan!
Metabolic Balance was created in 2002 by German Medical Doctor, Dr Wolf Funfack, and food scientist Silvia Burkle. The program is built on over 25 years of scientific research with a strong medical background.
Our bodies have innate wisdom to maintain homeostasis when you give it the optimal minerals and building materials it needs. Your plan includes all the foods that have the essential, vital nutrients your body most needs. Based on this in depth scientific and innovative understanding, Metabolic Balance develops your personalized nutrition plan to naturally help optimize and balance your hormones, enzymes, and your biochemistry. There is no artificial manipulation of your biochemistry by using any injections, shakes, pills, or specialized supplements.
Don’t settle for a “one-size-fits-all” approach for your wellness goals.
The are no two Metabolic Balance plans that are exactly alike. Your plan is 100% personalized for you based on your unique biochemistry. You are unique and so a personalized plan reflects this and is generated just for you.
Metabolic Balance is a “real food” nutrition program that promotes hormonal stability. It does so by supplying the body with the ideal nutrition and building blocks required for a balanced metabolism. No gimmicks, proprietary foods, powders, supplements are used. This all-natural approach is transformative as it realigns your senses (satiety, hunger, cravings, taste, aversion and attraction to food) and helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and look great. Our principle purpose and goal is to improve one’s vitality and well-being!
Ready to stop the yo-yo dieting?
The Metabolic Balance method is based on the assumption that every person’s body is capable of producing, on its own, the enzymes and hormones that it needs to function if we give the body the proper building materials in the form of nutrition.
This program does not eliminate any food groups. A Metabolic Balance plan aims to strike the perfect balance for your body using ALL the food groups, including only REAL, whole food. Remember, this is NOT a low-carbohydrate or keto ‘diet’. This is a REAL food plan that you will use to guide your food decisions and your ongoing wellness goals.
You don’t need to buy any special proprietary food or supplements.
Metabolic Balance helps your body burn fat at your body’s optimal level. It is about making healthier, sustainable habits that will be new habits for life. The Metabolic Balance program generates a personalized nutrition roadmap indicating the foods in which these building materials are to be found that are just right for YOUR body.
Insulin is the hormone of rapid aging. Through Metabolic Balance, the level of insulin in the blood is able to rise at a slower rate after eating, leaving you less likely to be craving more food shortly afterwards. Plus, more fat can be burned during the 5-hour breaks between meals. Simple sugars and high glycemic carbohydrates are eliminated as these disturb the balance between glucose and insulin in the body. They also stimulate the accumulation of body fat. This is why foods that keep insulin levels low and steady are preferred in Metabolic Balance plans. These foods are those with a low glycemic load.
The metabolic balancing program can help you to permanently change your lifestyle and wellness habits . . . for good.
It is all about supporting and sustaining a healthy metabolism.
Let me be your coach and guide along the journey! Part of the program is having me along with you to answer questions, provide resources, motivate you, and provide health education. I want to make sure that you understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ to implement new healthy habits. The internet is full of health and wellness information, but if you don’t know how to make sense of it all and put it all together in a meaningful way, you could easily get overwhelmed.
Coaching sessions are critical in ensuring you stay on track and motivated as you move through the 4 phases of your Metabolic Balance program. You’ll be able to take healthy and sustainable action steps based on the new knowledge and skills you learn throughout the program.
How does your metabolism impact your overall health?
Your metabolism in balance is the basis for health and vitality. Metabolic disorders cause obesity and can lead to other associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes. A properly balanced, whole food diet brings the metabolism back to its original healthy starting position. This has a regulating effect on your weight and positively influences metabolic syndrome.
What do our Metabolic Balance participants continuously tell us?
So many of our clients tell us that as a result of doing a Metabolic Balance plan, they experienced significant improvements in their health, including improvements in blood sugar, high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, painful joints, high blood pressure, migraines, chronic fatigue, menopause symptoms, moods, sleep, and digestive problems.
I can personally speak to how I feel so much more energized and “out of pain” when eating according to my Metabolic Balance plan. I was diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis and put on Humira injections when I was only 29 years old. I’ve dealt with chronic pain as a result for the last 14 years. The food-mood-pain connection is very real. I was put on my first diet when I was only 8 years old! You can read more about my health journey by clicking HERE.
Even more important is that our clients tell us they are thrilled with their new positive changes in behaviors and habits related to food, health, and wellness. When the lightbulb goes on as to how you can truly improve your life and outlook simply by giving your body the right nutrition, you look at ALL aspects of your life in a whole new LIGHT!

The 4 Phases of Metabolic Balance®
PHASE 1: CLEANSE. The first 2 days of your plan are considered PHASE 1. This phase begins the process of detoxification and resting the digestive system. It is KEY in preparing your metabolism for balancing and reducing cravings as you move into the next phase.
PHASE 2: STRICT. For the first two weeks of this phase (at least) you must only eat the foods specified in your nutrition plan. Most participants stay in Phase 2 for a minimum of 30 days before deviating from the plan in cases of special occasions or vacations. It takes this long to build up your new healthy habits! You will remain in Phase 2 as long as you need to lose more weight or are working towards your wellness goals (i.e. better sleep, more energy, reduction in bloating, and more). After the first 2 weeks in Phase 2, you will reintroduce oil into to your diet and a weekly treat’ meal (if desired).
PHASE 3: RELAXED. In this phase, additional foods will be added to your food lists and the amount of food you are eating will be increased. You will assess how you feel as you add in new foods, deciding which foods ‘work’ and which ‘do not work’ for you. It is this phase of trial and error that helps you learn to sustain your weight loss and other wellness goals as you move into Phase 4 for life.
PHASE 4: MAINTAIN. This is the phase you can continue to experiment with the addition of even more foods as you get to know which foods are right for you (that are not on your food lists). The goal is to be easing yourself away from your food plan, while still following most of the 8 Rules of Success regularly so that you maintain feeling and looking great!

QUESTIONS?
“After the first week, I was already 7.5 lbs lighter and I was able to sleep through the night finally. My original goal was to lose 25 lbs, but I ended up losing 50 lbs! I have maintained a size 6 to this day. I look completely different now and many of my customers don’t recognize me anymore- very funny! Just recently, I had an analysis at my gym where my biological age was only 24!”
“I started Metabolic Balance because I kept putting on weight. I had acid reflux every time I ate. I couldn’t believe that at 26 I needed to take medicine for a condition caused by being overweight. I felt terrible. I became withdrawn and lost my zest for life. I knew it was time to change. I had been looking for a specific plan to tell me how to eat properly for years, as well as a coach to support me through it. I felt the success immediately after starting my plan. After just 2 months I was down 22 lbs! The rest of the weight just kept dropping. The biggest change for me was not gaining the weight back! Before Metabolic Balance, I used to watch the scale go up and up, no matter what I ate. Now, even on a long vacation, I can still maintain my weight. This is my biggest success! I now look to move around more and try new sports. When you eat like this, you have a yearning to be more active!
“I had been wearing a dress size 12 for years, always trying to lose weight. Despite my trying, I was never able to keep the weight off for long. When I tried Metabolic Balance, I realized just how easy it was to be true to yourself. The first few weeks of rapid weight loss combined with my improved wellbeing had me feeling like a spark had been ignited inside me. I nourishedmy body with healthy foods, three times a day. After 4 1/2 onths, I was amazed to put on a size 8! This was beyond my wildest dreams, especially since I was going through the menopause at the time. I found that after changing my diet with Metabolic Balance, I actually only thought about food 3 times per day (not all day)! It was such a relief! I suddenly had a lot more freedom and newfound energy. I even find now that the foods on my food list are so diverse that I always have enough to choose from and not feel deprived.”
