Metabolic Balance
What is Metabolic Balance?
Metabolic Balance is built on a simple but powerful principle: the food you eat directly shapes your health and vitality. Many everyday foods—though widely accepted—can disrupt your body’s natural ability to regulate itself, leading to inflammation, weight gain, and chronic health issues. Metabolic Balance helps restore that inner balance by addressing the root causes, so your body can begin to heal and function as it’s meant to.
Although it’s often known as a weight loss program, Metabolic Balance is really a complete metabolic reset. Yes, natural and sustainable weight loss is one of the most common and exciting outcomes—but it’s just the beginning. Clients often report improved energy, better digestion, balanced hormones, and a renewed sense of well-being.
You’ll be fully supported by me as you move through the program, with personalised guidance on:
- The best foods and portions for your unique nutritional needs
- How to combine foods for optimal metabolic function
- When and how to eat for better energy and digestion
- Building long-term habits for lasting health and resilience
Metabolic Balance isn’t a diet—it’s a way back to balance, using food as your most powerful tool for healing.

The Four Phases of the Metabolic Balance Programme
Each of the four phases of the programme is fully supported by me, and I will guide you along your health journey.
- Preparation Phase
(2 days) - Strict adjustment Phase
(where you follow your personal food list, about 5+ weeks) - Relaxed adjustment Phase

How Metabolic Balance works:
Metabolic Balance is more than just a meal plan—it’s a science-based approach tailored precisely to your body.
✨ Your personalised plan is created using:
- Over 10,000 calculations
- 36 key blood markers
- Your body measurements, health history and current medications
- Your food preferences, allergies, and cultural or ethnic considerations
This creates a 100% bespoke nutrition plan—designed to match your unique biochemistry with the foods that work best for your body.
Your plan is based on real food – no supplements, no shakes, no powders. No cruel exercise regimes! No hunger! Just.real.fresh.food.
Why Metabolic Balance works:
At Wellsome, we know that lasting health starts with balancing your unique body chemistry through the right food chemistry.
Your personalised nutrition plan teaches you exactly which foods will nourish and support your body’s natural healing. By focusing on fresh, wholesome foods rich in the specific vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs, we help restore your metabolism to its optimal state.
This isn’t about counting calories or tracking macros—it’s about choosing foods based on how they impact your hormonal system. When your hormones are balanced, your metabolism functions smoothly, and natural insulin regulation is restored.
With simple, practical guidelines for preparing your meals and adopting a new way of eating, Metabolic Balance sets you up for long-term weight management, hormonal harmony, and overall wellness—not just a quick fix, but a sustainable lifestyle change.
Based on science, with proven effects
The programme was founded in 2002 in Germany by Dr. Wolf Funfack to naturally support the healing of diet-related disorders and has since been continuously developed and optimized by scientists. Whether metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity – it has a positive influence on all lifestyle diseases.
The “Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism” published an independent study in 2010. The study demonstrated that the Metabolic Balance programme is a highly effective program for both weight loss and quality of life.
The study was conducted in cooperation with the Department of Quality Management and Social Medicine of the Medical Centre of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg.
The researchers were equally surprised by a significant improvement in the participants’ blood values during the course of the study as well as the clear improvement reported by the participants for their personal and health-related quality of life.
The participants are particularly impressed by the side effect – an effective and sustainable weight regulation.
Positive side effects – yes please!
Because fat releases quickly which is sustained long-term, Metabolic Balance currently ranks as one of the best diet programmes, as proven by an independent study.
But it can do a lot more. It not only helps you reach your goal weight, but paves the way for more health and vitality. Especially if you have diet-related problems.
But even healthy people can increase their vitality by balancing their metabolism. Vitality, youthfulness and balanced hormones – these are important keys for enhanced quality of life!
Be your own Self-healer
Every living organism possesses remarkable self-healing abilities—a delicate harmony between the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems. However, when metabolic disorders take hold, this natural self-regulation can become overwhelmed. This imbalance may open the door to infections, sleep issues, allergies, food intolerances, and serious metabolic conditions like arthritis, gout, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic Balance works by gently restoring harmony to your metabolism. When your body receives the right nutrients, it can produce the hormones and enzymes it needs to heal itself. This renewed balance reactivates your body’s innate self-healing power and sets the stage for lasting wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Metabolic Balance programme last?
You start with phase 1, which lasts two days and is the essential preparation for metabolic change. Phase 2 is the strict conversion and is precisely described in the plan and further explained by me. Phase 2 lasts a minimum of 14 days, but typically until you have reached your desired weight or health goal. At this point you move into phase 3 where you will add more foods to your diet. I will also advise you how to do this. The program culminates in Phase 4 - the maintenance phase. You can easily maintain phase 4 for a lifetime by continuing to apply the now familiar rules as the best way to nourish yourself. Ongoing support is available as you need it.
Can I do the programme without a practitioner?
No. Our nutritional plans are not available without the support of a certified practitioner. We believe a fundamental requirement for your long term success is having the right support to guide you on your health journey.
I'm traveling a lot, can I still participate?
Your meal plan is so varied that you can plan well in advance and easily organise your daily meals. Be creative - I can also support you with tips and ideas.
Why can I not snack on the programme?
Your body needs time and rest for digestion. Any snack would disrupt this metabolic process and lead to familiar cravings. Therefore, we recommend having a five hour break between meals.
Will my diet always be as strict as in the 2nd phase of the programme?
No, as your metabolism adjusts to the way of eating and you have achieved your goals, you move into relaxed phases 3 and 4 to maintain your success. Then only a few basic rules familiar to you apply. Just as many other participants do, you will notice which foods are good for you and which are not. And if you ever need to, just go back to your strict phase for a few days and you have your goals under control again.
Do I have to stick to the exact quantities on my plan?
Yes. This is particularly important in phase 2 where you should weigh your food exactly. When you have achieved your goals, I will discuss with you the best way to relax on the stated quantities.
Will I be hungry and less productive in phase 2?
If you stick to your plan, you will eat the right amounts for you, mindfully and with enjoyment. At the end of every meal you will be nicely full due to the high-energy foods eaten three times a day. You will not be starving! In between meals you drink the right amount of water calculated for you and so you will be feeling clear headed and focused. Many clients report that they start to feel the best they've felt in years. If you are tired in the evening in the first few days of the conversion phase, then allow yourself and your body to rest and simply go to bed earlier. It is important to note that every one is individual and in rare cases as the metabolic adjustment happens, some people need a little extra support with hunger. This is one of the reasons why I am there to support you and ensure this is very short lived. Always talk over how you are feeling with me to ensure that adjustments can be made as appropriate and that you get the best results from phase 2.
Can I participate in the programme as a strict vegetarian or vegan?
Vegetarian plans may be generated for those who eat dairy and eggs. Strict vegans cannot participate in the Metabolic Balance program.
I want to improve my health but don't want to lose weight - can I still participate?
Yes, of course. I take this into account when creating your plan and when specifying quantities. Following Metabolic Balance is an excellent way to learn the right foods for you and to generally improve your health and fitness. Talk to me about your specific goals.
How does the programme lead to long term success?
Metabolic Balance is not a diet in the traditional sense, but a proven method for people to learn how to eat well for them. A traditional diet tends to lead to the yo-yo effect because of the severe restrictions on calories, fats, or carbohydrates, which in turn quickly leads to food cravings. This doesn't happen with us. Your plan is your plan. It only takes your laboratory values, your metabolism and your individual nutritional situation into account and provides you with all the necessary calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates. You will learn which foods are good for you and my support provides you with the tools for achieving your health goals.
