Metabolic Balance® Nutritional Programmes

A Personalised Approach to Nutrition

In today’s world, the idea of a “balanced, varied diet” is often repeated, but its meaning varies widely depending on each person’s individual metabolism.

Mr. Gerry Gajadharsingh DO, a  lecturer in Osteopathic Medicine, first encountered the Metabolic Balance® programme in 2008 through his German colleagues. Developed by Dr. Wolf Funfack, a German specialist in internal medicine, Metabolic Balance® has delivered over 1 million programmes worldwide and is now firmly established in the UK.

This science-based, individualised approach to nutrition aligns perfectly with Gerry’s philosophy of personalised patient care.


Who Can Benefit?

The Metabolic Balance® Programme suits motivated individuals who want to improve their health and well-being.

  • Many patients experience weight loss as a positive side effect.

  • Underweight patients can achieve healthy weight gain.

  • Others focus on metabolic improvements to support energy, resilience, and long-term health.

Gerry’s background in clinical nutrition and advanced pathophysiology makes him uniquely placed to guide patients. As a Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach and UK Lecturer, he also trains clinicians in applying this innovative nutritional system.


How the Programme Works

The programme begins with a comprehensive consultation and diagnostic testing, including:

  • GAJ2 Extended Haematology & Biochemistry profile (detailed blood analysis)

  • Review of medical history, lifestyle, and health goals

Using advanced German software, a personalised nutrition plan is created. Gerry then reviews this plan with patients during follow-up consultations, ensuring clarity, motivation, and long-term commitment.


Comprehensive Packages

Metabolic Balance® Programmes are offered as complete packages, reflecting the upfront investment in tailored, science-based care.

The approach also recognises the role of behaviour and lifestyle in shaping health outcomes. To maximise results, patients may also be suggested to explore:

  • Breathing evaluations and re-education

  • Referrals to trusted psychotherapists or hypnotherapists for anxiety or behavioural support

  • Tailored exercise guidance to match metabolic changes

✅ By addressing nutrition, behaviour, exercise, and breathing, the Metabolic Balance® Programme provides an integrated path to lasting health transformation.

A recent audit of 20 patients undertaking Metabolic Balance at The Health Equation

  • 67% of patients who were taking medication at the start of their program were able to stop or reduce their medication by the end of the 3 month program
  • All patients presented with multiple symptomatology, not just for a program to lose weight
  • The average weight loss at the end of 3 months was 7.5kg, approximately 9% of starting body weight
  • An average weight loss of >5% after 1 year is defined as a successful weight loss program

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.
