Understanding Metabolic Balance

What is Metabolic Balance®, and how can nutritional therapy support you?

Metabolic Balance® is a science-based nutrition programme built entirely around natural, everyday food from the supermarket — no shakes, no syn-free substitutes and no calorie counting. Your plan is created from your own bloodwork, giving you what the programme calls a personal metabolic ‘fingerprint’ rather than a generic diet sheet. It’s been developed over more than 20 years and used by several hundred thousand people worldwide; Emma Vanlint is a licensed Metabolic Balance® coach, trained directly by the programme’s founder, Dr Wolf Funfack.

The programme runs in four phases: a short, gentle preparation phase to ease you in; an adjustment phase of around two to four weeks as your body gets used to your new plan; a phase where previously excluded foods are gradually reintroduced; and an ongoing phase where you continue to follow the basic principles long-term. Many people use the programme to work towards a healthier weight and to support their body composition, and some also notice changes in energy, mood, sleep, skin and hormone regulation along the way — though everyone’s experience is individual.

Many clients come to us navigating experiences such as insulin resistance, thyroid changes or hormonal shifts like PCOS, alongside their ongoing medical care, and have found this programme a useful part of their overall approach to food and lifestyle. We always work alongside your GP or specialist rather than in place of them, and nutritional therapy is never a substitute for medical care.

Nutritional therapy is not a medical treatment, and we don’t claim to treat, cure or prevent weight and metabolic health. What we offer is personalised nutrition and lifestyle support for your general wellbeing — using ordinary, accessible food and practical guidance.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. My lifestyle is the same, but I’m able to maintain my ideal weight,* and I now know exactly what to do. Thank you so much.

Despite being active and fit, I’d gradually got larger as I approached 50. With Emma’s direction the way of eating was perfect for me.* I’ve never been hungry, and my sugar cravings disappeared almost immediately.

Important: Nutritional therapy is a complementary approach that supports general health and wellbeing. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and we do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent weight and metabolic health or any other medical condition. The information on this page is for general education only. Always consult your GP or a qualified healthcare professional about any medical condition or symptom, and before changing your diet, lifestyle or supplements — particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care. Never stop or change any prescribed medication without first speaking to your doctor. Individual results vary and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.

Metabolic Balance & nutritional therapy

Common questions

No — nutritional therapy isn’t a medical treatment or a cure, and we don’t claim to treat, cure or prevent weight and metabolic health. What we can do is help you understand how your individual diet and lifestyle may be affecting how you feel, and build a personalised plan to support your general wellbeing.
You’ll follow an individual plan built from your own bloodwork, eating three meals a day of natural, everyday food — there’s no shakes, syn-free products or calorie counting involved. We talk you through each phase and adjust things together as you go.
The early phases typically run for a few weeks, followed by a longer period of gradually reintroducing foods. After that, the final phase is about continuing the basic principles for the long term, at your own pace.
