Metabolic Balance Stories

Jelena Hahn shares her experience of stepping away from quick fixes such as injectables and moving toward a more sustainable relationship with food and her body. She reflects on the mental fatigue that often comes with appetite-suppressing approaches constant food decisions, fluctuating energy, and the feeling of never quite settling into something that feels supportive long term.

Over six months on Metabolic Balance®, working closely with practitioner Katie King, Jelena shares how understanding which foods supported her body helped her lose 11 kilos while also reducing inflammation. She explains how recognising foods that didn’t agree with her eased the mental load around eating, without feeling restricted. Living an active lifestyle, Jelena describes how Metabolic Balance allowed her to stay social, keep moving, and build habits that felt realistic, sustainable, and aligned with how she wanted to live.

If you’ve ever felt like your body simply won’t respond no matter how healthy you eat or how hard you try this episode will speak directly to you. Joanne lived for years with lipoedema, a condition that left her legs heavy, swollen, and painful. She tried countless diets, pushed herself harder, and still felt like nothing would change. The emotional weight of that struggle will feel familiar to anyone who has said, “I’ve tried everything and my body just won’t listen.”

In this conversation, Joanne shares the moment she finally stepped into her personalised Metabolic Balance program and how real food, steady rhythms, and individualised guidance helped her feel lighter, clearer, and more in control. She explains how understanding her metabolism shifted not just her symptoms, but her confidence and emotional wellbeing.

Joanne is now a Metabolic Balance practitioner but she speaks first as someone who lived this journey from the inside. Her story offers comfort, validation, and real hope for anyone dealing with inflammation, hormonal shifts, weight-loss resistance, or the exhaustion of trying diet after diet with no results.

In this episode, Kirsten Chick, nutritional therapist, educator, and author, joins Cherry Wills to explore how mindful eating, sensory awareness, and metabolic balance can transform your relationship with food. Kirsten explains how slowing down and paying attention to taste, texture, and sensation may help calm the nervous system, switch digestion back on, and support more stable hunger and fullness cues. She also clarifies the difference between intuitive eating and mindful eating, highlighting that genuine intuition only emerges when the body is balanced, blood sugar is stable, and stress is regulated.
This episode covers emotional eating, cravings, and the science behind the cephalic phase of digestion — offering practical tools you can use immediately. Whether you’re a client learning how to reconnect with your body, a practitioner supporting others, or someone wanting a more peaceful relationship with food, this conversation provides grounded insights you can integrate into everyday life.
