FAQ

The Metabolic Balance program is a personalised nutrition system that devises a food list from an individual’s blood results, current medication, body measurements and food preferences.

Devising personalised meal plans and food lists is a genuinely complex and time-consuming task for practitioners. By introducing Metabolic Balance to your practice you have access to a scientifically validated method trusted by doctors and practitioners around the world to help resolve and improve the well-being of your clients. You are able to easily and quickly provide your clients with an individualised and effective food only program so they get excellent results.

Metabolic Balance was devised by Dr. Wolf Funfack and Sylvia Bürkle following over 20 years of research in Germany. The Metabolic Balance software program is based on the German national food database which is then tailored to each individual country.

The principles of Metabolic Balance were developed based on the findings of medical research studies, personal research, and Dr Funfack’s clinical experience. This complex program gets continually refined and adjusted to reflect current developments in nutritional science.

Today Metabolic Balance is widespread. It is available in over 30 countries around the world. That individuality covers the nutrition plans, the personal supervision, and the joy the participants experience when the success of Metabolic Balance begins to work for them.

There are numerous books (in English and German) outlining the program and a 2010 research paper.

It requires commitment but once on the program, clients report that it's easy to follow. The quick results also ensure ongoing commitment.
