Metabolic Balance
A Weight-Loss Plan Customized to You
Eating healthy and working out and simply not getting results?
You can enhance your metabolism and restore optimal function by eating particular foods, in specific volumes and combinations.
Metabolic Balance™ is an evidence-based, customized nutrition plan that resets your metabolism, helps you lose weight, reduces inflammation and disrupts old habits that do not serve you.
Metabolic Balance™ is a precise nutrition program that is created based on your blood work, health concerns, and weight-loss goals. Your own physiology will determine how food is combined to optimize your metabolism. The food selected on the plan will help to correct existing hormonal imbalances in your body which results in the acceleration of your metabolism. When we eat food that is suited to our own body, healing can take place leading to improved mood, less inflammation, glowing skin and incredible energy. Cleaning up your nutrition and learning how to eat right for your body is so much more than how your clothes fit—it’s about vitality, energy, health, longevity and so much more.
Why this approach out of all the programs that are out there?
Dr. Smith chose Metabolic Balance™ for a variety of reasons:
- Researching various programs for over a decade
- Connecting with colleagues who had already used it in their practices for years and seen exceptional success
- Doing the program herself with great results (!!)
- It is based on whole, organic foods (we wouldn’t have it any other way)
- There are no extreme restrictions of food groups
- There is no calorie counting
- It is evidence-based
- It outperforms all the other major dietary programs in independent research that looked at how well participants sustain their weight loss over 3 years after having done the program
How does Metabolic Balance™ work?
This program was developed based on the fact that our food has an enormous influence on the body which is why Metabolic Balance™ is focused on local, natural and organic foods that are as fresh as possible. We have found that for patients who still are in the habit of consuming processed foods this not only helps them lose weight but completely recreate a relationship with real, whole foods.Meal plans are individually tailored to our needs and show:
- which foods to eat to provide the right nutrients we need
- in what quantities these foods should be eaten
- in which combination foods are best for us
- when and how to consume these foods
- how to maintain new eating habits for long term sustainable success
Each plan is unique, because it is created using:
- your blood values
- your body measurements
- your personal data
Program Phases
- Detox: This phase begins with elimination and eating simple foods for two days to prepare the body for better absorption and improve digestion.
- Strict Phase: Your personalized meal plan starts at this phase and continue for a minimum of 14 days. This phase is free of additional oil. Patient report feeling less hungry, better energy, and decreased cravings during this phase.
- Relaxed Phase: Additional foods are added to your daily meal plan. Treat meals, alcohol and the occasional chocolate are also included at this phase.
- Maintenance Phase: You did it! You used the guidelines of the program and listen to the cues of your body to guide your food choices.
Results
Weight-loss
Up to 20lb pounds is the average loss within the first 4-6 weeks of the program, and depending how long a person needs to be on the program, the potential is quite expansive.
Hormone Balancing
Improves PMS, acne, heavy bleeding, cramping, PCOS, is also great fertility prep.
Gut health
Clean eating on the program often results in reducing the pressure on your system and allowing for a lot of healing. It is extremely common for participants to see a reduction in bloating, gas, heartburn and other symptoms. Fatty liver will also resolve (or significantly so).
Happier mood!
Learning to have a healthier relationship to food and alcohol, being more in tune with your body, healing your gut and feeling more confident all contribute to the major mood lifts we see in our participants.
Diabetes
The plan is designed through the use of specific foods and the timing of meals to resensitize our cells to have a better relationship with insulin, the blood sugar hormone, resulting in great improvements with all diabetes metrics (blood sugar markers, cholesterol, high blood pressure, weight, medication needs, etc.)
Glowing skin
Frequently eczema and psoriasis, acne and other skin conditions will reduce significantly.
Less inflammation & pain
If you have aches and pains, they will decrease notably because as your blood sugar lowers and becomes more stable, your inflamation levels drop.
More energy & vitality
As we are lowering the stress, pressure and inflammation in your body by only eating healthy, whole foods, and by improving your body’s ability to manage blood sugar, your energy will float up, your sleep will improve and you will feel better and better as the weeks roll by.
