Metabolic Balance Stories

Before becoming a Metabolic Balance practitioner, Melissa Cook spent 21 years as a flight attendant, watching shift work take its toll on colleagues who thought they were eating well. In this episode of Metabolic Balance Stories, host Cherry Wills talks with Melissa about her own path into nutritional medicine, from her own struggles with bloating to what led her to Metabolic Balance and, eventually, her own personalised program. Melissa shares stories from her clinic in Scarborough, Queensland, about the emotional side of nutrition work, from clients navigating shift work and meal preparation to the confidence and wellbeing that can follow when nutrition is truly personalised. She talks about why she believes science backed, bloodwork-based nutrition, rather than guesswork, offers something different to fad diets and quick fixes. It's a warm, honest conversation about food, self-esteem and the difference that truly personalised nutrition can make in everyday life. Keep listening to hear Melissa's full story, and consider reaching out to a Metabolic Balance practitioner if you're ready to start your own.

Vicki Jones spent years as a music teacher before retraining as a naturopath in her fifties, eventually specialising in menopause nutrition. In this episode of Metabolic Balance Stories, host Cherry Wills talks with Vicki about the gap she noticed in her own practice, women doing everything "right" and still struggling with stubborn weight gain, and how discovering Metabolic Balance gave her a personalised, evidence-based approach to fill it. Vicki also shares her own honest experience trialling a prescription weight-loss medication before starting her own Metabolic Balance plan, and how her mood, energy and weight shifted once she moved to truly personalised nutrition. The conversation moves into stories from Vicki's clinic: women who had been told their symptoms were simply something to accept, and what changed once their food was tailored to their own biochemistry. Vicki and Cherry talk candidly about hunger versus feeling "hangry," the importance of doing this kind of change with support rather than alone, and why food, self-care and personalised nutrition sit at the centre of lasting metabolic health. It's a warm, honest conversation for anyone curious about menopause, weight management, energy or what it really means to eat for your own body.

For years, Athena Litis felt stuck in a cycle familiar to so many: trying diet after diet, from keto to calorie counting to group coaching programs, losing weight only to watch it creep back on. In this episode of Metabolic Balance Stories, host Cherry Wills talks with Athena about the frustration of doing "all the right things" without lasting results, and what changed when she started her Metabolic Balance program with practitioner Lisa Mackay, replacing the guesswork of calorie apps and one-size-fits-all plans with a personalised plan based on her own bloodwork. Athena shares an honest account of her first phase, the adjustment period, and how structure and consistency helped her build a rhythm that felt sustainable, even through family occasions, holidays and Greek Easter. Twelve weeks in, having lost over 11 kilograms with a further goal in sight, she reflects on what personalised nutrition, real food and practitioner support have meant for her energy, her confidence and her relationship with her family.

Cherry Wills speaks with Araleena Isse, a naturopath, and Karen Pyke , a clinical nutritionist, both experienced Metabolic Balance practitioners. Together they take a deep dive into gut health, covering the microbiome, the true role of fibre, transit time and gut barrier integrity, and how each connects to energy, mood and whole body wellbeing.

Patricia Frederick brings a unique perspective to this episode as a French-trained chef, health coach and lifelong food lover who faced stage three breast cancer in her mid-sixties. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, she found her appetite, digestion, energy and confidence around food deeply affected. Even with strong nutrition knowledge, she needed support to rebuild in a structured, personalised way. Through Metabolic Balance and guidance from practitioner Mary-Leigh Scheerhoorn, Patricia began using real food, balanced protein portions, fresh vegetables, herbs, fruit and simple meal structure to support recovery and reconnect with nourishment. A turning point came as her energy returned, her hair began growing back, and she walked 200 kilometres in March for cancer research. Patricia’s story is honest, hopeful and practical, reminding listeners that personalised nutrition, whole food and steady practitioner support can help people feel more capable on their health journey, one nourishing meal at a time today.

In this episode of Metabolic Balance Stories , host Cherry Wills speaks with Rachael Fattore , a naturopath and Metabolic Balance practitioner from regional New South Wales. Rachael shares how her own healing journey began after a serious accident as a teenager, which led to chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and eventually a deep interest in natural health. Despite years of naturopathic knowledge, whole foods, and movement, she later experienced fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, cycle changes, and feeling disconnected from her body. Further testing revealed Hashimoto’s disease, giving her an answer, but she still needed a clear way forward. Rachael explains how discovering Metabolic Balance ® in 2021 became a turning point in both her personal and professional life. Through her personalised nutrition plan, she found structure, nourishment, and a food foundation that supported her energy, weight, thyroid health, and long-term wellbeing. Cherry and Rachael also explore why “eat less and exercise more” is not always the answer, especially when stress, hormones, thyroid health, gut health, and burnout are involved. This conversation highlights the power of real food, practitioner guidance, and sustainable lifestyle change for clients who feel stuck despite doing their best.

Cherry Wills and Jacqui Lewis discuss how personalised nutrition fits alongside medical weight loss interventions like bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications. While these tools can be powerful, they are not complete solutions on their own. Without the right nutrition, clients may face muscle loss, malnutrition, and challenges with long-term sustainability. This episode highlights the importance of structured eating, education, and ongoing support, especially when appetite is reduced. It also reinforces that weight regulation is not one-size-fits-all.

In this episode of the Metabolic Balance Stories podcast, host Cherry Wills speaks with Metabolic Balance® practitioners Katie King and Karen Pyke about the role of personalised nutrition in sports performance, recovery, and long-term health. Many athletes train hard but struggle with fatigue, injuries, and slow recovery because their nutrition is not aligned with their individual needs. Katie and Karen explain how the Metabolic Balance program supports athletes and active individuals through personalised nutrition plans designed around their metabolism, training demands, and lifestyle. They discuss common challenges such as overtraining, chronic inflammation, relying on supplements, and following generic nutrition guidelines. Through real client experiences, they show how returning to real food and individualised nutrition can support better recovery, improved performance, and sustainable results.

After menopause, Sandra began gaining weight rapidly and felt unlike herself. Despite trying different approaches, nothing seemed to work, and she felt frustrated and low in energy. At 57, weighing 92 kg, she decided to start the Metabolic Balance program with practitioner Diana Burgess. Within weeks she noticed positive changes, including reduced puffiness, improved energy, and better sleep with fewer night sweats. Over about six months, Sandra lost around 22 kg , reaching approximately 69 kg. Her blood test results also improved, showing positive changes in markers such as cholesterol. Sandra credits her results to the personalised nutrition plan, practitioner support, and staying consistent, even during busy or stressful periods. Today she feels healthier, more active, and motivated to maintain her wellbeing as she moves into her 60s and enjoys time with her family and grandchildren.

In this episode of the Metabolic Balance Stories Podcast, Cherry Wills speaks with Lisa Wallace , a teacher from Brisbane, Australia, about her journey with Metabolic Balance. Lisa first sought help after struggling with long COVID symptoms for nearly a year, which affected her confidence and daily life. After beginning the Metabolic Balance program with practitioner Sharon Carius , Lisa followed her personalized nutrition plan and began to notice improvements in her energy, wellbeing, and overall health. Her body also naturally released around 10 kilograms as her metabolism stabilized. Later, Lisa faced further health challenges, including a diagnosis of early-stage hormone-related breast cancer and osteopenia. With an updated plan and continued practitioner support, she focused on nourishing her body and rebuilding her health. Follow-up testing showed significant improvements in her bone density, with her specialist describing the results as the best she had seen. Now at 63, Lisa continues to follow Metabolic Balance as her everyday way of eating, supporting her energy, resilience, and long-term health.

In this episode, Cherry Wills and Metabolic Balance® practitioner Araleena Isse explore what sustainable health transformation really looks like. Instead of quick fixes or restrictive dieting, they discuss how personalised nutrition through Metabolic Balance supports long-term metabolic health helping clients nourish their bodies, stabilise energy, and build a calmer relationship with food. They also unpack “food noise” the constant mental chatter and guilt around eating and how structured, balanced meals can quiet it.

Jelena Hahn shares her experience of stepping away from quick fixes such as injectables and moving toward a more sustainable relationship with food and her body. She reflects on the mental fatigue that often comes with appetite-suppressing approaches constant food decisions, fluctuating energy, and the feeling of never quite settling into something that feels supportive long term. Over six months on Metabolic Balance®, working closely with practitioner Katie King, Jelena shares how understanding which foods supported her body helped her lose 11 kilos while also reducing inflammation. She explains how recognising foods that didn’t agree with her eased the mental load around eating, without feeling restricted. Living an active lifestyle, Jelena describes how Metabolic Balance allowed her to stay social, keep moving, and build habits that felt realistic, sustainable, and aligned with how she wanted to live.

If you’ve ever felt like your body simply won’t respond no matter how healthy you eat or how hard you try this episode will speak directly to you. Joanne lived for years with lipoedema, a condition that left her legs heavy, swollen, and painful. She tried countless diets, pushed herself harder, and still felt like nothing would change. The emotional weight of that struggle will feel familiar to anyone who has said, “I’ve tried everything and my body just won’t listen.” In this conversation, Joanne shares the moment she finally stepped into her personalised Metabolic Balance program and how real food, steady rhythms, and individualised guidance helped her feel lighter, clearer, and more in control. She explains how understanding her metabolism shifted not just her symptoms, but her confidence and emotional wellbeing. Joanne is now a Metabolic Balance practitioner but she speaks first as someone who lived this journey from the inside. Her story offers comfort, validation, and real hope for anyone dealing with inflammation, hormonal shifts, weight-loss resistance, or the exhaustion of trying diet after diet with no results.
