Metabolic Balance® is a personalised nutrition program, developed in Germany, that uses an individual's specific blood markers — 36 values in total — to help create a personalised food plan. Rather than applying a generic approach, the program aims to design a nutrition plan informed by your individual pathology and health picture.

The Metabolic Balance approach is designed to be genuinely personalised rather than a standard "diet." Rather than restricting food groups or counting calories, it focuses on creating a food plan that is designed around your individual blood markers and metabolic needs. The aim is to find an approach that will work with your body, rather than against it.

Generic nutrition plans are designed around an average person — but individual physiology, metabolism, hormones and lifestyle can all influence how a person responds to food. The Metabolic Balance approach uses your specific blood markers as part of the process so that the plan is designed around your body, not someone else's.

Your first consultation with Anita is a thorough, relaxed conversation. Anita will take the time to understand your health history, your current challenges, your goals and what you've already tried. This is the starting point for your personalised approach, and there's no pressure to commit to anything before you're ready.

Yes. The Metabolic Balance process uses 36 specific blood values as part of creating your personalised food plan. Anita will provide a referral for the blood test as part of the program process. The blood test is a key part of what makes the approach personalised rather than generic.

Suitability depends on each individual's circumstances, health history and goals. Anita is best placed to discuss whether Metabolic Balance may be an appropriate approach for you during a consultation. If you have any specific health concerns or questions, it's always recommend speaking with Anita directly before committing to anything.

The Metabolic Balance program at VURV is delivered as a 12-week program. This provides enough time to work through you unique plan properly, with regular check-ins and support from Anita throughout. Anita can discuss the full timeline and what to expect during your consultation.
