    Moving Past Menopause Weight Gain Without Extreme Diets | Vicki Jones

    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. Keep listening to hear Vicki's full story, and consider reaching out to a Metabolic Balance practitioner if you're ready to start your own.

    What Changed for Her in Just 12 Weeks | Athena Litis

    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. If you've ever felt frustrated trying program after program without lasting change, this episode offers a relatable and encouraging look at what personalised nutrition can look like in real life. Keep listening to hear Athena's full journey, and consider reaching out to a Metabolic Balance practitioner if you're ready to start your own.

    How Personalised Nutrition Supported Patricia’s Recovery | Patricia Frederick

    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.

    Managing Hashimoto’s Symptoms with Personalised Nutrition | Rachael Fattore

    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.
