The concept

Metabolic Balance was developed from the knowledge that our daily food has an enormous influence on the functioning of our body systems and processes and therefore on our overall well-being and health.

Food and eating habits that are considered normal today are not good for most of us. Your body's natural self-regulation gets highly disrupted and as a result, disease and obesity are common.

Metabolic Balance focuses solely on metabolic health:

If one addresses the causes and restores the balance of the body, the symptoms may resolve naturally.


For example:

  • being overweight
  • having allergies
  • diet-related illnesses
  • poor gut health
  • skin conditions

The Result

The Metabolic Balance nutrition concept

Metabolic Balance is a comprehensive nutrition concept based on intensive and individual care as well as the creation of an individual nutrition plan.

This clear and simple plan shows:

  • which foods to eat to provide the right nutrients you need
  • in what quantities these foods should be eaten
  • in which combination foods are best for you
  • when and how to consume these foods
  • how to maintain your new eating habits for long term sustainable success

Individual and unique

Just like you!

Each plan is unique, because it is created using;

  • the analysis of your blood values
  • your measurements
  • your personal data

Metabolic Balance further adjusts the nutrition plan to accommodate your needs and personal preferences, for example;

  • allergies
  • diseases
  • individual food likes and dislikes

Metabolic Balance is equally suitable for the growing number of people who are already restricted with their food intolerences and for everyone else who values their health and wants to find learn the right foods they should eat.

The health of our participants

by personal support

Metabolic Balance focuses on health, both improving it and then maintaining great health. A positive side effect of healthy eating is commonly weight loss or as we like to say weight release.

This is why Metabolic Balance is most well know as a weight loss program. It's actually a well being program with the most common result easy, natural, healthy and sustainable weight loss.

In the 'success stories' section you can get to know people like you and their stories. Many of our clients have made both sustainable improvements to their health and released an amazing amount of weight with Metabolic Balance.

You will read about Amelie, whose life was dramatically restricted by numerous food allergies and who now has her own cookery blog. And you will get to know people who have recovered from poor health.

  2. Phase 2 – in the first two weeks, adhere strictly to the food list in your nutrition plan. After that, oils will return to your life – and treat meals where you can eat whatever you want once a week.
  3. Phase 3 – the food list on your plan is extended and you try, with the guidance of your practitioner, to introduce further healthy foods
  4. Phase 4 – you get to experiment for yourself, based on your experiences from the first three phases – and learn what works for you. You slowly incorporate more from outside the plan, but you’ll always have your newly-learned eating habits.
