No dieting in newest weight-loss program
TOOWOOMBA woman Linda Back works with residents who want a more natural approach to health and has just launched a new weight-loss program which is filling a “much-needed gap in the field”.
Zest Natural Therapies involves finding and addressing the root cause of illness rather than suppressing symptoms.
Ms Back said for most people, their treatment involved nutritional adjustments, lifestyle improvements, such as healthier sleep habits or taking time out to de-stress, and evidence-based, practitioner-strength natural medicines.
She has just launched a new program in Toowoomba, one which originated in Germany 20 years ago.
The program uses 36 different blood markers, such as inflammation levels, thyroid function and nutrient levels to create a foods list that is ideal for the individual.
“Metabolic Balance is all about personalised nutrition, as we are finding out there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health,” she said.
“The thing I love most about the program is that it is not a diet, it is designed as a process to hit the reset button, and help re-establish a healthy metabolism so the body can naturally release excess fat.
“It also provides people with the tools they need to manage their weight in the long-term and get a health boost.
“Improvements in energy, sleep, stress resilience, blood pressure, hormonal swings and digestive issues are all common when following the program.”
Another key aspect of the program is the coaching that is included.
Ms Back said studies had shown that weight-loss success rates when working with a practitioner were far higher than when trying to go it alone.
“We work on things like mindset, goal-setting, celebrating successes and overcoming obstacles with the nutritional side of things,” she said.
The program was launched last month and is already extremely popular.
“I have several patients who are already a couple of weeks into their programs and getting great results already, and several more who are awaiting the arrival of their personalised nutrition plans and are keen to get started,” she said.
“I’ve been doing the program myself for the past six weeks, and not only have I lost just under 11kg and 10cm off my waist, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my sleep, energy, moods and mental focus.”
She said there were many benefits to the program, and it filled a “much-needed gap in the weight-loss field”.
“Metabolic Balance takes all that guesswork out of knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat, and the program provides a clear path forward,” she said.
“If they follow the program to the letter, it should be the last plan they ever need.”
