Unlocking the Science Behind Metabolic Balance®: What The Research Says

If you’re like me, and before you make any big decision especially when it comes to your health you love to research and get to the bottom of why and how things work, then you’re going to enjoy this article all about Metabolic Balance® and the research that backs it up.

A quick refresher on first.

Metabolic Balance® was developed by a team of doctors and nutritionists in Germany who spent over 25 years conducting research and integrating published nutritional knowledge to create a simple yet very effective way of eating. Metabolic Balance® utilises a sophisticated computer analysis of pathology markers to evaluate the health of the body and its organ systems, and then matches this information with the nutritional value of whole foods.

With the guidance of degree qualified practitioners, a Metabolic Balance nutrition plan can support individuals in making life-long lifestyle and nutritional changes through the use of whole foods. It’s less about superfoods and fad diets and more about getting back to the basics and eating the whole foods that work for you.

This quick list provides links to a few studies that offer a simple overview of some key supporting evidence for the Metabolic Balance methodology.
