Metabolic Balance Nutritional Programmes
In today’s world, the concept of a “balanced varied diet” is often mentioned, but its true meaning can vary greatly depending on individual metabolisms. Gerry Gajadharsingh DO, renowned in Europe for his lectures in Osteopathic Medicine, was introduced to the groundbreaking Metabolic Balance programme in 2008 by his German colleagues.
Developed by Dr. Wolf Funfack, a distinguished internal medicine doctor from Germany, Metabolic Balance has successfully conducted over 1 million programmes worldwide, now expanding into the UK healthcare market. Rooted in scientific principles and tailored to individual needs, it aligns perfectly with Gerry’s philosophy of personalized patient care.
The Metabolic Balance Nutritional Programmes are designed for individuals driven to enhance their health and well-being. While weight loss is a common outcome, the programme’s holistic approach also addresses metabolic improvement, notably aiding weight gain in underweight individuals.
Recognizing the pivotal role of nutrition in addressing health concerns, Gerry’s expertise extends from clinical nutrition training to advanced pathophysiology studies. As a Certified Metabolic Balance Coach and lecturer, he guides UK clinicians in unlocking the potential of this innovative programme.
Metabolic Balance Nutritional Programmes
The Metabolic Balance Programme is geared towards motivated people who really want to improve their health.
But how does it work?
Through comprehensive consultations and advanced diagnostics, including a detailed blood analysis, a personalized nutritional plan is crafted using sophisticated German software. This plan is then meticulously reviewed with patients during follow-up consultations, ensuring clarity and commitment to the programme.
It’s essential to note that Metabolic Balance programmes are offered as comprehensive packages, reflecting the upfront investment in personalized care. While results may vary, the programme’s integrated approach acknowledges the significance of behavioral factors in achieving lasting health outcomes.
Addressing potential barriers, such as anxiety patterns or improper breathing habits, additional support services are available, including breathing evaluations and referrals to expert hypnotherapists or psychotherapists. Moreover, the programme advocates a balanced approach to exercise, emphasizing the importance of tailored activity levels to support metabolic changes.

I was recommended by a colleague of mine, who had gone to see Gerry after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes; within a couple of months my colleague had brought this under control simply by changing his diet. This made me extremely curious, I had not previously heard of metabolic balance®, and as I had begun to develop Heberden’s nodes on one of my fingers, I wanted to see if by simply changing my diet to what my body required in terms of nutrients would make a difference. On the first meeting, not only did Gerry make me feel extremely relaxed, but he was very engaging and encouraged questions. Within the first 3 weeks of starting my individual metabolic balance® programme, the nodes had completely gone. I continue with the diet of food that my body requires, and I have seen so many changes.I highly recommend Gerry and look forward to a follow-up session very soon.
After 20 years of yoyo dieting, starting out at 8 stone trying to get back to 7.5 stone and systematically dieting myself up to a very unhappy 17.5 stone and into poor health, I was exhausted and lacking energy and motivation. In August 2019 I fell and broke my spine and was close to giving up ever trying to lose weight again. It was at this point that a friend recommended me to seek Gerry’s help. It was to be a major turning point in my life. For the first time in years I have energy and wake up feeling I am ready for the day. I am exercising again (having historically been a runner and a squash and tennis player) after 5 years of no energy to do anything other than sit at my desk and work. I have a long term back injury as well as the break that has kept me incapacitated and in pain which is now benefitting from the weight loss, with significant reduction in pain enabling me to undertake gentle exercise (it feels great).
I have now lost 2 stone, in less than ten weeks. My blood pressure has dropped from very high daily readings to now consistently being in the NHS ideal range. My GP was becoming very insistent about my taking blood pressure tablets again, no more! What is even more amazing to me is that I feel I have a way of eating for life. I have stopped grazing all day and night, I eat at mealtimes and feel full, I feel like I have been released from a constant need for food to balance my energy levels and my emotions, I was imprisoned by food and now I am back in control. Because of Covid I haven’t seen my family for weeks till we had a socially distanced chat this week and my Son’s first reaction was “what happened to you Mum, everyone else is putting weight on in lockdown and you lose it and look amazing”. I feel amazing. Thanks Gerry, I feel I have an exciting and healthy future to live and this is only the start of what I know I am going to achieve. I couldn’t have done this without your outstanding advice, guidance and coaching, you have quite literally changed my life for the better. ”
The best return on investment in years, by far, has been in my health journey with Mr Gerry Gajadharsingh at The Health Equation.
My first in depth diagnostic consultation evolved around my many minor ailments that were not (understandably) worthy of full investigation by my GP/NHS. I felt miserable, unhealthy and constantly tired, naïvely I put a lot of my symptoms down to the menopause. I openly admit, for years I ate the same un-nutritious food day in, day out, I snacked often, drank too much alcohol regularly and I didn’t exercise…… no surprise it had taken its toll.
Gerry enquired about each and every element of my medical history, lifestyle, and diet.
Amazingly, Gerry discovered at my first consult that I wasn’t breathing correctly; who knew that was even possible???!!?
So just 10 weeks from my very first appointment, and 6 weeks on the Metabolic Balance programme I have lost 1.5 stone, lost inches, dropped a dress size, I feel much better, sleep better, my busy, anxious mind is quieter, my hair is no longer falling out in clumps, my skin and nails have improved. I no longer have the urge to constantly snack.
Osteopathy sessions have improved and rectified old injuries that were previously neglected. On Gerrys recommendation I have started pilates which I am thoroughly enjoying.
The journey has been challenging, but the results have been so worth it.
Thank you Gerry & Susie Gajadharsingh at The Health Equation, for the education, the support and the accountability, I absolutely could not have achieved the results without you.
