What is metabolic balance®
Metabolic balance® is a holistic approach to putting your body’s metabolism into a healthy balance and reaching your perfect body weight. Natural nutrition and a balanced diet are essential requirements for optimum physical and mental health and overall well being.
Metabolic balance® is a individualised programme where the foods chosen for you are based on your own blood haematology and biochemistry test results providing you with your own unique food plan. Your own personal plan enables your body to produce hormones and enzymes which are needed to create a balanced metabolism. Through the sufficient supply of nutrients from foods in your plan, they are chosen specifically for you to provide the exact nutrients you need without the need for supplements or eliminating food groups and are provided from 3 balanced meals per day.

How does metabolic balance® work?
Metabolic balance® promotes the balance of hormones particularly insulin, where blood levels are encouraged to increase at a slower rate after eating and therefore avoiding craving for food for a longer period of time. More fat can therefore be burned between meals promoting weight loss.
Metabolic balance is a four phase programme.
-
Phase 1 – a mild 2 day detox.
-
Phase 2 – a strict 14 day adjustment phase.
-
Phase 3 – Introduces foods excluded in phase 2 and allows more flexibility, this phase is usually maintained until you achieve your desired weight.
-
Phase 4 – this is the maintenance phase which allows you to maintain your healthy weight and new found health and vigor.

Prior to your initial consultation you will be sent a questionnaire. This will ask in-depth details about your whole medical history together with your family history, lifestyle and dietary history. The consultation lasts about 1½ hours where we discuss this information in detail and also identify your ultimate health goals. Certain measurements will be taken as starting points and then we can monitor progress on your weight, BMI, body fat % and blood pressure. It may become apparent that other laboratory tests may be beneficial and these will be offered through Best Nutrition. These tests may include haematology and biochemistry tests, adrenal stress test, blood and hormone testing, intestinal permeability and candida antibodies to name a few.

Striving to integrate nutritional therapy with the medical profession, areas may be identified during your consultation which may need referral to your GP such as identifying an underlying condition or the need for further tests provided by the NHS. Referral is done only with your consent.
Supplements and further laboratory tests are provided at additional cost.
Follow-up Nutritional Therapy Consultation - £55
Usually at 4-6 week intervals it is recommended to attend a follow-up consultation which lasts for 45 minutes.

Your nutritional programme will be re-assessed and modified to ensure that you continue to progress towards improved health and your goals.
