Episode 13: How my personalized nutrition plan was created using my bloodwork as my blueprint
Send us your questions & comments
In Part 3 of this mini-series, I’m walking you through exactly how my personalized nutrition plan was created — step by step — using my own bloodwork as a blueprint.
This is the episode where everything moves from information to action.
Up until this point, I knew my bloodwork was telling a story.
But what I really wanted to understand was how those lab results would translate into something practical… something I could actually follow in real life.
In this episode, I share:
- how my individual blood markers were reviewed together — not in isolation — to understand what my metabolism was really struggling with
- why Metabolic Balance® doesn’t rely on calorie counting, macro tracking, or generic food lists
- how specific foods were intentionally included to support things like blood sugar balance, cholesterol, liver function, and inflammation
- why certain foods were temporarily limited — not as punishment or restriction, but as targeted metabolic support
- and how seeing my food plan explained through the lens of my bloodwork immediately removed confusion, fear, and guesswork
This was the moment I realized this wasn’t another “diet.”
It was a strategy — one that respected my physiology, my health history, and the stage of life I was in.
Instead of wondering what I should eat, I finally understood what my body actually needed — and why.
That clarity changed my relationship with food almost overnight.
In the next episode, I’ll share what it was really like to get started on my plan — what felt surprisingly easy, what challenged me, and just how quickly I was able to start seeing results.
