BE HEALTHY WITH AMANDA
Be Healthy with Amanda is a podcast for women 40+ who want to feel better, have more energy, and take control of their health—without overwhelm or extremes.
Hosted by a nutritionist for women in midlife, this podcast explores the real foundations of feeling well: simple nutrition, balanced hormones, better energy, and a lifestyle that actually works for you.
If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause, feeling more tired than you used to, struggling with weight gain, or just want to feel more like yourself again—this is for you.
Each episode is packed with practical, realistic advice you can actually use, including:
- How to support your hormones through food
- Easy ways to boost energy in your 40s and beyond
- What to eat for metabolism, strength, and long-term health
- Gut health and why it matters in midlife
- Simple daily habits that actually make a difference
You’ll also hear honest conversations about ageing, wellbeing, and cutting through the noise of the wellness world - so you can focus on what truly works.
This isn’t about restriction or perfection. It’s about feeling good in your body, eating well, and building a healthy, energised lifestyle in midlife.

018 - Could this be the diet you've been looking for? Metabolic Balance explained with Cherry Wills
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I’m chatting to Cherry Wills, the CEO of Metabolic Balance Australia, New Zealand and the UK
I was keen to talk to Cherry so she could share her insights and experiences with Metabolic Balance and the people she has worked with, giving you a clearer understanding of how impactful the right food can be
With her extensive background in nutrition and coaching numerous practitioners and clients, Cherry shares insights into this life-changing programme and the remarkable transformations she’s witnessed by helping individuals eat the right foods that suit their individual needs.
In our conversation, Cherry delves into key principles of the programme, including:
Personalisation. Each plan is customised to align with an individual's metabolism, and health goals.
Whole Foods. The focus is on unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods that promote metabolic health.
Balanced Meals. The programme calculates an appropriate intake of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Phased Approach. There are four phases and it begins with a detox phase, followed by a gradual reintroduction of food groups to observe their effects on the body.
Sustainability The ultimate aim is to cultivate long-term habits rather than engaging in cyclical dieting.
Tune in to discover how Metabolic Balance can transform your relationship with food! And, do get in touch if it's something you would like to know more about.
