After 20 years as a naturopath, why did I bring Metabolic Balance into my practice?

Last year I spoke on the Metabolic Balance podcast about this — sharing what I was looking for, why it resonated with my clinical experience, and some of the transformations I’ve seen with clients.

Ever wondered why the weight seems to creep on after 40, even though you're doing all the same things?

One of the biggest changes happening in perimenopause is a drop in oestrogen. As this happens, your body becomes less sensitive to insulin—the hormone that helps move glucose from your bloodstream into your cells to be used as energy.

When that process isn't as efficient, your body is more likely to store excess glucose as fat, particularly around your middle.

This is one of the reasons weight loss can suddenly feel so much harder in your 40s and 50s.

The good news? Understanding what's happening means you can change your approach and start working with your metabolism instead of constantly fighting against it.

These are some of the things we learn about on my group calls for Metabolic Balance. Want to know more? Follow the link in my bio

Feeling incredibly grateful to have been invited to speak at the Nutrition Futures Summit the other week.

Spending the day with so many passionate practitioners, sharing ideas and exploring the future of nutrition and metabolic health, was an absolute privilege.

One of the greatest privileges of this profession is that learning never stops—and neither do I.

Thank you for having me. 💚

Is it me… or is it my hormones? 🤔

The things that used to work… suddenly don't.

Your energy, sleep, digestion, mood and even your weight seem to have a mind of their own.

After more than 20 years of working with women as a naturopath, I know how confusing these changes can feel.

And one thing I've learnt? **It's not just about hormones.**

That's why I've created this FREE everyday guide for women navigating their 40s and beyond.

It's packed with simple, practical tips to help you understand what's changing, support your body and start feeling more like yourself again.

Years after treatment, what do clients actually remember?

Araleena Isse, naturopath and Certified Metabolic Balance Practitioner, asked her past clients exactly that. It wasn’t the supplements. It was the practitioner, and the moment everything finally made sense.

That moment of understanding sits at the heart of her approach. When progress stalls, before adding anything new, Araleena goes back to three foundations: hydration, movement and transit time.

She explains how they work together like a road trip:
🚗 Transit time is the car
👥 Your gut microbes are the passengers
⛽ Bile is the fuel
🛢️ Hydration is the engine oil
🛣️ Movement is the road

Without every part working together, the trip doesn’t happen, or it happens at a cost.

And she reminded us why this work matters so much:
“𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.”

Who’s the practitioner you still remember, and why? 💬

It was such a pleasure to speak in Brisbane at the Nutrition Futures Summit. Food, hydtation and movement are fundamental to every person.

Fibre is good for you. But more isn't always better!

Different types of fibre do different jobs, and we don't all respond to them in the same way.

Some people thrive on legumes, wholegrains and high-fibre foods. Others experience bloating and digestive discomfort.

Your gut is unique. Your nutrition should reflect that.

That's why I love Metabolic Balance®. Using your blood results, we create a handcrafted whole-food eating plan, then adjust it to suit your body's needs and responses.

Finding the right foods for YOU — including fibre — can be a real game changer.

Stop guessing. Start understanding.
