Metabolic Balance Success Stories

When Sarah first saw Linda in mid-2022, she was wanting to find a solution that would help her not only lose weight - but a plan that would help her keep it off as well.

She'd tried a few strategies, but found them to be unsustainable. Sarah's career also keeps her very busy and demands long hours, so she was wanting something that would fit in with her work and not be too difficult or time-consuming to implement. Her energy levels were also at an all-time low.

Fast-forward just under 3 months and Sarah's knocking it out of the park! Not only has she released almost 11kg, she's feeling good, and her newfound energy is helping to make sure she can keep up with her busy life.

When Linda first started working with Jasmine in March she had some fairly major stuff going on with her digestive health, so Linda thought it would be best to establish a good foundation with the 4 Week Detox/Gut Care Program before moving into the Metabolic Balance program.  

Since commencing her program in June, Jasmine has been so very happy with her results - not only has she found that her reflux has virtually disappeared (she told Linda she's enjoying 'only sleeping with one pillow instead of three!'), she's going full steam ahead towards a weight she knows she'll feel happy and comfortable with.

Joan actually only started her Metabolic Balance program in early November 2022, which makes her results even more outstanding.

She wanted to get her health on track, as she reported that after menopause 'everything went haywire', and despite having a full check-up with her doctor she was finding that she just wasn't feeling as good as she felt she should.  She had also recently retired from full-time work and her aches & pains from arthritis were impacting her quality of life and ability to participate in activities she wanted to enjoy.

Joan found the plan easy to follow, and enjoys Asian-style dishes so she was able to incorporate fresh herbs and spices to flavour her foods.  

We received an email from Joan in early January 2023, where she was letting us know that she'd reached the 15kg mark which was fantastic to hear.  Joan was quite amazed to find that her body continued to make progress with her weight loss, despite visiting family over the Christmas & New Year period and eating out more often than she had been.  In her words, she was 'pretty bloody happy' that her metabolism was able to respond in this way.

Whilst Joan didn't notice an initial improvement in her arthritis symptoms, after discussing pain management options with her doctor, she decided to progress to knee replacement surgery.  No doubt Joan's weight loss and health improvements will only be of benefit as she goes through her surgical procedure and the recovery process.

Here's the latest update from Joan (July 2023):

'In February I had a serious break in my upper arm and believe me when I say I did a good job at it  I did just that. Major surgery & major pain. I became very dependent and insecure. I was an active and very dedicated exerciser, hence the break in my arm messed with me lot. I had heard of Metabolic Balance via a friend who was having great results and decided to reset my goals. If I could not exercise I could lose weight which was a bone of contention with my Cardiologist also.  'Lose weight Lyn' – 'Easier said than done Dr'.  I can’t wait to get back to him.

I commenced my Metabolic Balance program on the 6^th April 2023 and completed on the 18^th July. Weighing 64kgs.

Can I say it was a rewarding – supporting and a learning journey. Yes it was challenging at times however, a bottle of water got me through several times and of course the support of our therapists. It was great to talk with both Melissa and Linda who I found caring, very knowledgeable as well as people who had been on the journey and offered practical advice.

Lets debunk some of my myths: Age will not stop you from losing weight – myth number two if you exercise a lot you will lose weight. My poor, poor metabolism. It was thoroughly confused and just threw up its hands in angst.

For the doubting Thomas’s : I have had 2 cupping appointments with my wellness provider the last one was just last week and guess what: not a bruise either time.  My gut is happy: success number 2

Please don’t give up my fellow MB friends, the rewards just fill you with pride. This journey is for you enjoy your success.'

When Veronica came to see Linda she said she was after a complete health overhaul.  And boy, did she knock it out of the park!

Despite that fact that Veronica lived on a property in a rural area, she didn't let it stop her working towards her goals.  In fact, her 'can do' attitude was formidable...and it certainly paid off.

By the end of the first month on her plan, she described her chronic joint pain as being '90% gone', and her tendency to gut upsets (even with foods she had tolerated for most of her life) had almost completely disappeared.  She was sleeping a lot better as well, which made her very happy.

Jennie first saw Linda after witnessing a co-worker's transformation with Metabolic Balance, and wanted to create similar changes in her own life.  She was suffering from gut problems that were causing her a lot of distress - alternating constipation and diarrhea, and food intolerances that were so severe she could barely eat most foods without suffering a reaction.  As a result, the foods that she could tolerate were extremely limited.  She had also been on 'every diet under the sun' and the only time she could maintain her weight was by strictly counting macros and doing 2 hours of exercise every day + 10-20k steps.  Phew!

Due to the nature of her gut issues and limited food options that she could safely eat, Linda recommended Jennie start rebuilding her gut health with the 4 Week Gut Care Program, so that she'd be able to actually eat and enjoy the foods on her Metabolic Balance plan when her symptoms had improved.  Jennie found that it didn't take long to see change with her gut health, and within the first 2 weeks was able to tolerate foods that she hadn't been able to eat in a long time.  

Once Jennie had completed her 4 weeks of gut health, she enrolled in Metabolic Balance so she could take the next step in her health journey by finding out the foods that would help her build on the progress she had already made.  And within just 2 weeks she had released almost 5kg (without having to exercise).  She reported that she was feeling great, and was very surprised that she wasn't experiencing hunger or cravings - which had always been a hurdle in her previous weight-loss attempts.

I first heard about metabolic balance when I went to a kick sugar workshop.

I can’t believe how well it works! The most amazing thing that I found was that I had absolutely no cravings after the first two weeks, it was like I was satisfied after each meal, having more food or a sweat treat didn’t even cross my mind, that just blew my mind! 

Of course came the clear skin, period pain subsided more and more each month, my moods were stabilised, energy levels became existent! And of course came the weight loss! I lost 11.3kgs in the 12 weeks and still continue to lose. I find it so easy to continue in this way of eating, it’s been two weeks since iv finished and iv still easily stayed on track, as it makes you feel so good!

It was made so easy as I had the help of Melissa at my finger tips! When ever I needed help with some food labelling queries or things on my plan, she was so quick to respond and so knowledgeable!

Thanks Melissa!!'

When Terri first approached Linda to chat about her health, one of the first comments she made was that she just didn't feel like she was her best self.  She was feeling very tired, after being struck down with multiple viral infections over the past 20+ years, including glandular fever, Ross River virus and 2 bouts of COVID that had really knocked her around.  In fact, her words were that she felt 'like I've been hit by a wrecking ball.'

Terri also had a lot on her plate - she was a mum and worked in a busy work environment, and her fatigue was really impacting her quality of life.  She also found it difficult to lose weight, as no strategies she'd tried had worked long-term.

Within a few short weeks, Terri noticed such a difference in her body - and what's more, her new healthy eating habits had inspired her partner to make positive changes as well!   Whilst her energy levels are a work in progress, she knows that Rome wasn't built in a day.   Here's what Terri had to say:  'this is the fastest result I've ever had. I'm feeling better within body & mind - brighter both physically and mentally - and not feeling like I'm missing out.'

Harriet had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes approximately 10 years prior to starting her Metabolic Balance plan.  She was monitoring her blood sugar levels regularly, and checking in with her doctor for ongoing monitoring.  She was wanting to lose weight, not only to feel more comfortable within her clothes, but also to improve her prognosis for the future.  

She told us her aches & pains tended to be significantly worse when she ate gluten, and she often experienced reflux and bloating.

After 3 months eating from her personalised foods list, Harriet had learnt quite a lot about how different foods impacted her blood sugar levels, and how she felt from day to day.  She had a check-in with her doctor towards the end of her program, and new blood tests revealed that her fasting glucose and HbA1c (a marker of blood sugar management over a period of time) had improved, as had one of her liver markers.  She also found her digestion was more settled, and her aches & pains did improve whilst participating in the program.

'Before starting Metabolic Balance I was struggling with low energy and slow and steady weight gain, despite a ‘good healthy’ diet.

I had tried intermittent fasting, shakes, calorie counting, combined with kilometres of walking and wanting things to be different.

I was a bit hesitant to take the plunge as I didn’t want to waste more money.

A couple of friends stated the program and I watched from the sidelines as incredible changes started to place before my eyes!  All the time wishing that could be me!

After seeing their renewed energy, weight loss, and glowing health improvements I was sold.

I made a plan to and was excited to start. I have not looked back. I thought it might be difficult learning about new foods and things to cook and eat but the support was amazing.

My personal plan was a map for success designed by my own body’s needs. I started seeing results in the first week! And every week since then. My GP was very happy with the results!

I’d say stop wishing and start eating your way to health with Metabolic Balance - it’s your plan specifically designed by your body!

I gained energy, improved sleep, clearer skin, lowered cholesterol, pain-free hips and knees, improved digestion, improved mood, renewed confidence.

I lost the weight struggle!'
