FAQs

What is Metabolic Balance and how will it benefit my practice?

Metabolic Balance is a personalised nutrition program that creates an individual food plan using your client’s blood values, health history, body measurements, and food preferences.

With rising rates of obesity and metabolic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hormonal imbalance, clients are actively seeking safe, effective solutions.

For practitioners, Metabolic Balance provides a scientifically validated system trusted worldwide, making it simple to deliver targeted nutrition guidance that gets results – while also strengthening the sustainability and profitability of your practice.

Metabolic Balance is a practitioner-only program in Australia and New Zealand.

To be eligible, you’ll need at least an Advanced Diploma (preferably a degree) in Naturopathy, Nutritional Medicine, or Medicine. Other health qualifications may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

You’ll also require professional association membership and indemnity insurance.

Metabolic Balance can be successfully implemented at any stage of practice. Whether it is introduced at the start of your career or into an already established practice, the program provides a clear structure, scientifically grounded framework, and ready-made resources, so you have everything you need to implement it immediately upon completing your certification. 

With the added benefit of ongoing mentoring and practitioner support, whatever your level of experience, you can have the guidance they need to offer a highly professional program from day one.

Metabolic Balance is designed to complement your current work, not replace it. Whether you practice naturopathy, nutrition, functional medicine, or coaching, it integrates seamlessly as a powerful tool to individualise client support.

You can choose to offer it as a standalone program or embed it within your existing consultations, depending on the structure of your practice.

All Metabolic Balance plans are generated through the secure online practitioner portal – no software installation is required, just a computer with internet access.

To create a metabolic balance plan, anthropometric data is needed for each client. When working in person with clients, practitioners need access to a tape measure, stadiometer and scales. For those working online, clients can be supported in the best practice for recording this data personally.

Please note, during the training a full explanation for the need and use of body measurement is given, as well as best practice for supporting individual cases regarding this so that all clients can be supported in their own best interest.

Blood tests can be organised through national pathology collection centres, making the program simple to deliver virtually as well as face to face. 

Metabolic Balance is designed to make personalised nutrition efficient. Once you have your client’s blood results and measurements, the plan is generated automatically via the online portal – saving hours of manual analysis and meal planning.

Your main role is guiding and coaching clients through the program. Typically, this involves an initial consultation to review results and explain the plan, followed by at least five structured coaching sessions. Many practitioners find that this structure allows them to deliver high-value care in less time, freeing them to see more clients or grow other areas of their practice.

Metabolic Balance is fundamentally an education program for clients. The practitioner’s role is to teach and guide them in making informed lifestyle choices, with the goal of fostering independence and long-term self-reliance. Many clients choose to continue checking in with their practitioner to maintain a level of accountability and support.

Each plan may be reused time and again at no extra cost to the client. 

Should a client experience a significant health shift, such hormonal shift (such as menopause), new diagnosis, changes in medication, or significant weight fluctuations, practitioners are encouraged to support clients with a refresh plan if this is deemed necessary.

All practitioners can create an account with our partnered laboratory services, ensuring agreed rates on the required tests. You can also use an existing set-up if you already have one. 

Metabolic Balance requires pathology parameters for the health assessment of the client. These include a full blood count, lipid panel, thyroid function tests, iron studies, and others important for nutritional assessment. 

Metabolic Balance is a whole-food program. Each client receives a personalised list of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and other natural foods.

The principle is simple: if a food is on the plan, it can be eaten; if it isn’t, it cannot. Clients eat fresh vegetables, fruits, quality proteins, healthy fats, and natural starches, sourced from local supermarkets and food stores, with no reliance on meal replacements or gimmicks.

Metabolic Balance is a holistic wellbeing program that restores balance to the body. It is highly effective for supporting metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular health, hormone regulation, skin health, inflammation, and mental wellbeing.

Because Metabolic Balance is so effective at reducing systemic inflammation and rebalancing metabolism, sustainable weight loss is often the most common and noticeable result. Many clients experience improvements in energy, digestion, and sleep within the first week, followed by steady, natural weight release as their health continues to improve.

Unlike restrictive or fad diets, Metabolic Balance addresses the root causes of weight gain. By restoring metabolic health, results are not only more effective but also longer lasting.

All certified practitioners in Australia and New Zealand receive 12 months of mentoring. This includes:

  • Access to the MB ANZ practitioner support forum

  • Weekly community mentoring sessions

  • Bookable one-on-one mentoring calls
  • Ready-to-use marketing materials such as banners, posters, client leaflets, and presentations

This ensures you feel confident in offering Metabolic Balance and attracting clients to your practice.

Yes. Practitioners must maintain their certification in order to continue offering Metabolic Balance. This ensures the program is delivered to the highest professional standards and that practitioners remain up to date with the latest knowledge and best practice.

Ongoing certification protects both you and your clients, maintaining the credibility of the program worldwide and reinforcing the trust placed in Metabolic Balance practitioners.
