Take Back Control of Your Health
The idea of a one-diet-fits-all solution for better health is a myth! Metabolic Balance® means creating a personalized solution just for you.
LET'S CONNECT
There is no diet, lifestyle, practice, or set of habits that works for everyone, regardless of whether your goal is to feel energetic every day, become more mobile, sleep better, feel less pain, release unwanted weight, or all of the above.
here's the truth
We know this instinctively, but everywhere we look there is someone promising exactly that – a pill, a diet, or an easy, effortless fix that has “proven results”. I became passionate about overturning this health belief when I found myself trapped in a cycle of concerning and debilitating symptoms. I learned there is a big gap in medicine when it comes to treating women, and especially women experiencing perimenopause and menopause.
Metabolic Balance® changed my life, and now I help other women change their lives too. This is not a quick fix, but a unique solution to achieve whole-body transformation. It doesn’t target a specific symptom with a pill, but instead addresses the root of all symptoms, giving you not just the outcome you wanted, but far more. You can expect to release unwanted weight, but also sleep soundly, feel energetic all day long, move with more ease, and return to the activities you love to do.
That, for me, means choosing to live the good life in the one body you have. It means achieving optimal health in a way that is supportive, meaningful, and empowering.
What is Rootology?
Rootology means the study of the root cause. For me, this means getting to the root cause of your symptoms and supporting you through the healing process.
ROOTOLOGY MEANS ...
Providing a wealth of knowledge about your health and wellness so you can make empowered decisions
Becoming a champion of advocacy in healthcare, and teaching my clients how to advocate for themselves too
Rooting into self-love, self-care, and a self-made definition of what a healthy, thriving life means for you
I’m rooting for you!
Using the Metabolic Balance® approach of individualized assessment and a personalized plan. This is based on your unique blood values, health habits, medical history, food preferences and lifestyle to find healthy lasting solutions just for you

Metabolic Balance® is a great fit for you if…
Your goal is to experience optimal health and increased energy for the rest of your life. You have no patience for short-term solutions or big promises without a scientific foundation
Your goal is simple: to find a cookie-cutter diet that will help you lose weight. Dieting is hard on your body, mind, and spirit. It is also not sustainable. For these reasons, I prefer to work with people seeking a personalized approach to achieve a long-term solution
Metabolic Balance® may not be a good fit for you if…
From previous attempts at achieving better health, you know the key is a personalized plan and showing up on the good days and the bad days. You recognize that change takes work, and you are serious about making important changes even if it’s not always going to be smooth sailing
Your priority right now is your health and wellness. As women especially, we have so many responsibilities and care for other people, often better than we care for ourselves. You have come to a place where you want to reclaim the driver’s seat of your life – because the more you take care of yourself and thrive in the body you have, the more you can give back to others
You value one-on-one support and trusted expertise. Maybe you’ve lone-wolfed it one too many times, or you have been let down by other programs or methods that promised support and fell short. I am here with you every step of the way, cheering you on, lifting you up, and coming up with new solutions when something is out of alignment. Transformation happens together
You want a solution that requires little to no effort. There are pills and injections out there to help manage your symptoms, and there is a time and place for those. In Metabolic Balance® showing up, changing habits, and addressing the root cause is how we achieve transformative results for the long term. Metabolic Balance® is all-natural and requires no medication or specialized products to purchase.
You feel like your health solution must fit into the needs and desires of the people around you. The truth is that with new food and healthier habits, changes will need to happen in your life! If your priority is catering to others before making space for newness in your life, Metabolic Balance® will be a difficult road
You don’t feel like you need real support, just a road map. Trust me, I’ve been there. Through all the programs and solutions I invested in, what was missing was someone who had the knowledge, compassion, and presence to help me navigate the difficult times - and help me acknowledge the good times. Because of this, I offer only integrated, personal, and generous one-on-one support.

What is Metabolic Balance®?
Metabolic Balance® is an innovative all-natural nutrition program that brings balance to your hormones, optimizes your health, and leads to a new invigorating lifestyle resulting in successful long term weight management. It is backed by over 25 years of scientific study and is managed by dedicated physicians and nutritional scientists.
The foundation of the program is Metabolic Balance's capability to develop a truly personalized nutrition plan based upon an in-depth analysis of your unique blood values, health habits, medical history, allergies and intolerances, and personal likes and dislikes. Your personalized nutrition plan acts as your “road-map”, indicating exactly which natural foods you should eat in order to orchestrate the biochemical changes needed for reaching your desirable weight and health goals.
back
What is the Metabolic Balance® process like?
You are accompanied through the four phases of your program by a Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach. Your coach guides you toward reaching your ideal weight, avoids yo-yo dieting and helps you to embrace the amazing realization of a new healthy lifestyle and a true awareness of well-being. It is safe, healthy, economical and simple and has all the elements needed for you to succeed. Metabolic Balance® has served over half a million participants so far.
There are four phases to the Metabolic Balance program:
Phase 1 – The Preparation phase starts the detoxification process and is key in preparing your metabolism for the next adjustment phases. Phase 1 is two days long.
Phase 2 – The Strict Adjustment phase requires a minimum of 14 days. During this period your metabolism will "switch on" and start adjusting toward a more balanced metabolism. You will lose several pounds and start to feel a renewed energy and increased vitality! This phase lays the foundation for your body's new biorhythm and bio-chemistry leading to sustainable weight loss. You will be supported and closely monitored by your personal coach. You will have the option to remain on this phase until you have reached your desired goal.
back
Phase 3 - The Relaxed Adjustment phase allows you to start integrating additional foods into your daily meal plan. Your body's new heightened sense of nutrition will allow you to instinctively know which foods are right for you and which are not. You may also enjoy on occasion a "treat" meal or two, savor a glass of wine or a special treat. More importantly you will learn how to handle these special moments in a healthy manner. Your personal coach will continue to support you and monitor your progress.
Phase 4 - The Maintenance phase is the final phase and participants can stay on this phase for the rest of their lives. Maintaining your ideal weight is simplified by following a set of nutrition rules that you have already become accustomed to and have come to appreciate. You can enjoy your newly discovered lifestyle to the fullest and possess the knowledge of how to maintain a healthy, invigorating and happy metabolic balance® way of living! Your success is our success!
What are the main benefits of Metabolic Balance® over other methods?
Unlike other methods of weight loss, your personalized all-natural nutrition plan balances your personal "body chemistry" with the right "food chemistry". The scientific research that backs the process, over 25 years worth, goes to the root cause of how and why a person stores and releases energy and fat. The base assumption is that your body is capable of producing (on its own) the hormones and enzymes that are needed to function.
In order to function, a body requires "building material" in the form of proteins, carbohydrates and nutrients that are obtained from the foods you eat. Your plan concentrates on the exact foods that possess 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 balance your hormones, enzymes and your bio-chemistry. There is no artificial manipulation of your biochemistry by the usage of injections, shakes, pills or specialized foods. Metabolic Balance® is the right way to “diet”. In fact, it is NOT a diet at all but rather a hormone-balancing program that helps you to naturally lose weight and keep it off!
back
Can Metabolic Balance® help me achieve my ideal weight?
With your personalized nutrition plan you supply your body with all the vital and healthy nutrients it needs. Food is not selected according to calorie content or by percentage of fat, protein or carbohydrates. The criteria for food selection is the effect a specific food has on your hormonal system.
Through this method a healthy and naturally balanced insulin production is promoted. Insulin is the “internal key” to your body's weight management system, and has a substantial effect on other hormonal and enzyme production. Your personalized nutrition plan allows your blood sugar and insulin to increase at a much slower rate (rather than surging); this helps you avoid hunger and food cravings for a longer period of time. Subsequently, more fat can be burned during the space between your three daily meals and especially while you sleep! By following your personalized nutrition plan and a set simple rules, you begin to strengthen and balance your entire hormonal system and to naturally manage your weight. You can experience rapid weight reduction, generally losing from 3 to 6 pounds of fat per week. By participating in your own personalized metabolic balance nutrition program, you are making a choice for increased health, vitality and quality of life - all at the same time.

Why is Metabolic Balance® so successful?
While there are several reasons, here are four reasons why Metabolic Balance® works so well.
1. Your program is 100% personalized and actively supports your unique bio-chemistry and nutritional needs. Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two nutrition plans are exactly alike. Don't settle for a one-diet-fits-all approach. You are unique and a personalized nutrition program must reflect this and be designed just for you!
2. The prescribed foods on your nutrition plan are uniquely designed to affect positive healthy changes while naturally diminishing your food cravings and hunger spells. You do not suffer from hunger as you do with diets, and food cravings become a thing of the past. You reestablish your natural and healthy sense of hunger.
back
3. Success breeds success! You start losing fat and weight. Average weight loss experienced is 3 to 6 pounds per week. Achieving favorable results fuels and inspires your sense of "wellbeing", your energy, commitment, and your inner, "I can do it” attitude. You learn new healthy habits while leaving old harmful habits behind. A new lifestyle emerges that feels great and allows you to maintain your ideal weight with no yo-yo dieting.
4. You are not alone. You are accompanied by your Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach. Your coach is there to support, teach, guide, encourage, and motivate you along the road to reaching your goal. Personal coaching is a substantial part of your success, and the coach team is an integral part of every Metabolic Balance® program. With your coach's instruction you begin to understand how different foods work to balance your metabolism and which foods hinder your progress. This knowledge is invaluable for reaching and maintaining a healthy and vitalized lifestyle for the rest of your life.
Is Metabolic Balance® “all natural”?
Metabolic Balance® is 100% natural. There are no prescribed injections, pills, shakes, or proprietary foods. Nor, as with some diets, are you required to keep “points” or count calories. Your local grocery store and farmers market can easily provide all the wholesome nutrient rich foods listed on your personalized nutrition plan.

What real health improvements can I expect from the Metabolic Balance® program?
In 2010, a year-long scientific study was concluded on the Metabolic Balance® system and was recently published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (Volume 2010, Article ID 197656). The study revealed that “relevant blood parameters as well as HRQOL improved significantly.” In other words, the participant's blood chemistry values and their Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) showed significant improvement.
The good news is that with a purpose-filled and healthy adjustment toward a balanced all-natural diet, coupled with appropriate exercise, most diseases and illnesses in modern civilization can largely be reduced or possibly even eliminated. Metabolic Balance® proves this truth time and time again. Thousands of participants have reported their physicians reducing prescribed medicines or eliminating them all together. By restoring yourself to a balanced all-natural nutrition, you cause a "natural restoration" in your body to occur. By restoring nutritional balance you recreate your body's natural equilibrium. Simultaneously, you promote a fitter, more energetic you – a you that has regained control and is able to manage the negative effects of the stresses and strains of modern day life. You will find that you sleep better, your physical and psychological well-being improves, and your immune system is much stronger. You will noticeably feel healthier, happier, and look younger… not just to yourself but also to others.
The bad news is that natural food has become a rarity on our dinner plates. When you realize the health issues we face with our contemporary artificially enhanced and packaged foods diets, you start to understand why over 66% of people in North America are overweight and metabolic diseases are on the rise. We are being super-sized to death with processed food! More often than not, consuming these “designer” convenient foods are the cause of today's malnutrition and go hand-in-hand with modern lifestyle illnesses such as obesity, diabetes type 2, hypertension, imbalanced and high cholesterol, inflammation, fatigue, skin disorders, insomnia,.... just to name a few. This is why Metabolic Balance® truly gets to the ROOT of so many issues that cause the symptoms we deal with day in and day out.
