Wondering what Metabolic Balance costs and whether it’s worth it?
It’s a reasonable question. Investing in your health can be a big step, and often confusing with all the different options and opinions.
But with the right support, a personalised plan and a clear path forward, it’s much easier to take that first step. And it might just be one of the best things you do for yourself.
So let’s take a look at what you’re actually paying for in a Metabolic Balance program, and what kind of support and transformation it offers.
What’s included in the Metabolic Balance program?
Every Metabolic Balance client receives a unique plan, no two plans are the same. This is because they are based on your own blood test results, health history, food preferences, and lifestyle. Your plan is carefully created to support your metabolism, digestion, and energy from the inside out.
Here’s what’s included in the program when you undertake it with me at Stepping Stones Nutrition:
- Comprehensive blood test (36 markers) to assess key areas like liver health, inflammation, blood sugar balance, iron, cholesterol, thyroid and more
- A fully personalised food plan, created by Metabolic Balance in Germany using your blood results and health data. This identifies the right foods for you and recommendations for when to eat some items such as bread or fruit.
- 7 Consultations with a registered nutritionist to guide you through each phase of the program, clarifying what to do, helping you adjust meals, and making it doable in real life
- Learning Portal with resources, and easy, nourishing recipes to make your plan do-able – even with a busy life.
- Tailored guidance to support your gut health, hormones, energy and sleep because it’s all connected. Your lack of sleep or stress can impact your ability to lose weight or your inflammation levels.
- Accountability and a calm, step-by-step approach so you’re not doing it alone
- Welcome gift a few items to make the journey a little more enjoyable
- Ongoing support between sessions keeping you on track and supported every step of the way.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan, it’s built for you, based on science and real-life support and adjusted as needed as you progress through the program
So what’s the actual cost?
The full Metabolic Balance program with Stepping Stones Nutrition costs $1697 (as at August 2025), including:
- Your personalised Metabolic Balance plan
- MB Pathology testing
- 7 Consultations over 12 weeks
- Support between sessions via chat
- Learning portal with Recipes, resources and practical tips to help you implement it smoothly
- Your welcome gift
Payment plans are available, and everything is explained up front so you can make an informed decision. This is done in an initial consultation where we take a deep dive into your health history, your lifestyle, have a look at a sample plan and decide what is the best next step for you.
If you’re not quite sure, I also offer a free 15-minute clarity call to discuss your health concerns, and explain the program and alternative options that are available for you.
Why does Metabolic Balance cost that much?
Metabolic Balance isn’t just about the food list, it’s the combination of expert analysis, personal support, and targeted guidance that makes the difference.
Here’s what you’re investing in:
- Customisation: your plan is created specifically for your body, using analysis developed by Metabolic Balance over more than 20 years
- Qualified care: as a nutritionist, I bring years of experience in nutritional medicine and guiding real change
- Long-term outcomes: this isn’t a quick fix, it’s designed to improve how your body functions over time
- Support along the way: you’re not handed a plan and left to figure it out, we walk through it together, step by step
It’s a full program that considers you as a whole person, not just the symptoms you want to change.
There are of course the non tangible benefits, which depend on your goals but for examples include:
- Feeling more focused and able to enjoy retirement
- Enjoying meals with friends without worrying about having an upset stomach or bloating
- Feeling fabulous at their daughters wedding
- Having your periods become regular, so you can start to plan for a family
- Decreased skin irritations
- No more back pain, so you;re not reliant on medication and can sit still for longer – yay to longer car trips to visit friends and family
- Fitting into your favourite jeans again
- Less food waste as you buy what you need
- Improved physical and emotional resilience
What about private health?
Some private health funds may offer rebates for nutrition consultations or for the program, depending on your level of extras cover. I’m happy to provide receipts so you can check directly with your provider.
Can I just get the plan without the sessions?
I get this question a lot and the short answer is no. The support is a key part of the program.
Metabolic Balance works best when it’s personalised and supported. The plan gives you the foundation, but it’s the guidance and gentle accountability that helps you implement it in a way that lasts. It’s not just what you eat, it’s how you live, think, plan and care for yourself day to day.
What others have shared
“Kim’s guidance on the Metabolic Balance program has helped me to achieve significant weight loss that I previously couldn’t do on my own. Kim provides invaluable guidance and support in following the plan and also helps you to make any adjustments you may need. Through the program and Kim’s guidance, I’ve completely transformed my lifestyle and overall approach to my health.”
Every client journey is different, but one thing I hear often is: “I finally feel like I know what works for my body.”
The real cost? Staying as you are.
If you’ve been feeling frustrated with your energy, weight or digestion, it’s worth asking: how much time, money and headspace are you already spending trying to figure it out on your own?
Metabolic Balance offers a clear, guided path to feeling more energised, supported and in tune with your body, without extreme diets, lots of early morning gym sessions or one-size-fits-all advice.
Way clients have saved money:
- They are no longer chasing the solution to their health goals, spending endless money on superfoods, diet shakes or detox drinks
- Decreased the need for medication
- Improved moods and no need to boost themselves with too much wine each night to wind down

- Fewer supplements as their body is working optimally and improved digestion
