Personalised Nutrition Built From Your Own Blood Test Results
A clinical, blood-test-driven nutrition program — not a diet. Personalised to your body’s actual markers, delivered entirely via telehealth, anywhere in Australia.
What is Metabolic Balance®
If you’ve tried cutting calories, fasting, or yet another structured diet — and the weight keeps coming back, or your energy never really improves — the problem usually isn’t effort. It’s that a generic plan can’t account for what’s actually happening in your body.
I’m Anne-Marie, a clinical nutritionist based in Cairns, and the Metabolic Balance® Program is built differently: every plan starts with your own blood test results, not a population average. It’s a personalised, evidence-based clinical framework — not a fad diet, not a quick fix.
Who This Program Is For
This program is for adults who:
- Have struggled with weight, fatigue, or metabolic health markers (cholesterol, fasting glucose and inflammation) for years.
- Have tried structured diets before, with results that didn’t last, or rapidly regained the weight afterwards (yoyo dieting).
- Have been told by their GP that their bloods are “within range” but still don’t feel right.
- Want a clinical, evidence-based alternative to medication or surgery.
- Are ready to invest in a personalised process, not another generic plan.
Who This Program Is Not Ideal For
This program is not designed for adults who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding, as you need more calories to support a healthy pregnancy.
- Are underweight with a body mass index of less than 18.5 kg/m2.
- Are suffering with chronic kidney disease.
- Are looking to rapidly lose a couple of kilograms before an event, this program is designed for lasting long term weight loss.
Why Blood-Test-Driven Nutrition Works When Diets Haven’t
The Scale Won’t Move
A calorie deficit doesn’t work the same way for every body. When markers like fasting insulin, thyroid function, or inflammation are off, the standard “eat less, move more” approach produces standard results — temporary loss, then regain. Metabolic Balance® is built from your blood test data, working with the markers driving the problem, not against them.
“Normal” Blood Tests, Not-Normal You
Standard blood panels are screened for pathology thresholds — the point at which something is definitively wrong. They’re not designed to optimise for how you actually feel. I read the same markers differently, looking at the interplay between iron, thyroid, inflammatory indicators, and fasting insulin to find where your body is under strain — even when results are technically “within range.”
A Genuine Alternative to Medication or Surgery
For people facing the prospect of long-term medication or weight loss surgery, Metabolic Balance® offers a food-first, evidence-based clinical pathway — addressing the markers driving the condition, not just the symptoms on the surface.

FAQs
How is this different from a regular diet?
Metabolic Balance isn’t a diet in the calorie-counting sense — it’s a clinical plan built entirely from your own blood test results, designed around what your body’s markers are actually showing.
Do I need a GP referral for the blood test?
No — your blood test referral is arranged through iScreen, and the test itself takes place at your nearest QML (Queensland Medical Laboratory) collection centre. If you live outside of Queensland, I can advise you of the nearest collection centre.
How long does the program take?
Most clients see initial improvement in health markers within around 3 months. Timeframes vary depending on individual goals and starting point.
Is there a guarantee?
There are never guarantees as every person is different. By having a coach to support you through the process, there is a greater success rate of reaching your goals rather than battling it alone. The $190 initial consult is a no-obligation first step — there’s no pressure to continue beyond that session if it’s not the right fit for you.
Can I claim this through private health insurance?
Some private health funds offer rebates on consult fees. Rebate amounts vary by fund and cover level — check with your provider for specifics and let me know in the discovery call so I can make sure you have all the information needed to make a claim.
