A Bit About Me (Avery)

What I know...

If you’re here chances are you’re seeking information about natural alternatives to overcoming your health challenges and taking back your life, health and vitality.

As a Nutritionist, I understand that optimal health and weight loss goes far beyond food.

What I experienced...

In my mid forties, I found myself over-extended, stressed, overweight, exhausted, suffering from food sensitivities, digestive issues, mood swings and overwhelm.

Following a diagnosis of GERD, a subsequent prescription and learning about the possible side effects, I was determined to find out why and how I got to this point! Only to find myself overwhelmed and confused by all of the available information. Not to mention the daunting task of determining fact from fiction.

My fears...

My unrelenting fear of following in the footsteps of family members lost and continuing to develop additional health issues and or having to consume a cocktail of pharmaceuticals daily was not how I wanted life to be. I made the decision to take control of my health destiny!

My desire to determine the root cause of my issues led to my attending the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. There I was able to bridge the gaps between proper nutrition, nutritional therapy’s, targeted supplementation, quality sleep, regular movement and the power of thought. I’m still a work in progress and learning to accept that it is a process!

My method...

As an experienced practitioner, I educate, empower and support mature women in navigating their unique health journey. Working together we create sustainable healthy lifestyle habits that restore health and vitality.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, I’m making it my mission to share my knowledge with you. I also understand what it’s like to be overwhelmed by the thought of making major lifestyle changes, by choice or circumstance. Together we’ll determine the root cause of your health issues and address the imbalances. One small change at a time.

I don’t believe in FAD diets, MAGIC pills or potions, nor do I believe that we should accept that its normal for health and vitality to decline as we age”! We are never too old and it is never too late to live a healthy and vibrant life!

Client Stories

I started this journey with Avery to try and help ME feel like ME!!

I had no energy at times, waking up in the morning feeling like I didn’t sleep at all. Just not feeling the best!

Well I have been doing Metabolic Balance (with some challenges in the beginning) for 10 weeks now, and I can honestly say “WOW” I feel awesome!

I sleep so well at night that in the morning I wake feeling rested!! My energy is threw the roof and oh ya I have lost 20.6 lbs and 15.5 inches!! Yay me!!

I know I have a ways to go but with Avery coaching me, her encouraging words and our weekly chats, I WILL get there.

I can wear my wedding rings again!

When I started on April 19th, I weighed 172 pounds, today, I’m down 35 pounds and 42 inches. But wait, there is so much more...

My energy has increased.

The mysterious lump in my throat is gone and I’m not using 2 packages of Halls daily to help with my dry mouth.

I’m not sleeping in late on my days off, or napping in the afternoons when I get home from work. I’m sleeping better and waking up feeling rested, even on the days I’m working the night shift.

The unbearable hot flashes at night have significantly reduced in severity and frequency.

I can’t recommend Metabolic Balance highly enough. If you’re looking to make some changes for the better, reach out to Avery, you won’t regret it!
