Why It Works
Metabolism describes how the body turns food into energy, and it is shaped by thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, hormones, muscle mass, sleep, stress and genetics. Changes in weight, energy or blood sugar can have more than one cause.
Balanced starts by understanding where your numbers stand. Your provider reviews your history and, if applicable, labs such as A1c, fasting glucose and insulin, lipids and thyroid markers, and looks at nutrition, activity and recovery.
From there your provider builds a phased plan that may include nutrition guidance, nutrient support, hormone evaluation, medication such as metformin or GLP-1-based medicine when appropriate, and peptide options such as AOD-9604, tesamorelin or MOTS-c. Each has potential risks and limits of evidence, which your provider reviews with you.

Treatment Process
Consultation
Book a virtual or in-person consult with one of our Wellness Consultants. We review your goals, history and symptoms.
Your personalized roadmap
Your provider builds a personalized, phased treatment roadmap around your goals and history.
Begin and stay supported
If your provider prescribes medication, it is ordered from a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy and shipped to you. Monthly check-ins keep your plan on track.
What Your Provider May Consider
Nothing is prescribed or ordered until your provider reviews your history and labs. These are examples of what may be part of a plan, not a promise of treatment.
Metformin
May be considered when labs point to insulin resistance.
GLP-1-based medicine
A class of prescription medicine that supports appetite regulation. Your provider decides whether it fits your history and goals.
MOTS-c
May be considered for metabolic health goals, after your provider reviews the evidence and risks with you.
Berberine, inositol and magnesium
Nutrient support your provider may suggest alongside nutrition and activity.
AOD-9604
May be considered for body composition goals alongside nutrition and training.
5-Amino-1MQ
May be considered for metabolic health goals, in oral form, after your provider reviews the evidence and risks with you.
Tesamorelin
May be considered for body composition and metabolic goals, after your provider reviews your labs and history.
Bupropion and naltrexone
Prescription options your provider may consider together or separately for appetite and cravings, when appropriate for your history and medications.
Thyroid medication
May be considered only when labs and history show a thyroid concern that your provider finds needs treatment.
Lipo-B (methionine, inositol, choline and B12)
Injectable or oral nutrient support your provider may suggest alongside nutrition and activity.
Sermorelin
A growth hormone releasing peptide your provider may consider for body composition and sleep goals. Your provider reviews the current evidence and risks with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Call or text us on (470) 226-2390.
Am I a good candidate?
Adults who feel their metabolism has changed, or who want to understand blood sugar and weight changes, may be candidates. Your provider reviews your history and any labs to decide what is appropriate.
What can I expect?
Experiences differ from person to person. At your consultation your provider sets expectations with you based on your history and any labs, and your plan is adjusted as you go. Results are not guaranteed.
Is it safe?
Every plan is prescribed, monitored and adjusted by a licensed provider, with follow-up check-ins. All treatments carry potential risks and side effects, and your provider reviews the ones that apply to you before you decide. You can ask questions or stop at any time.
How are prescriptions handled?
If your provider prescribes medication, it is ordered from a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy and shipped to you. Your provider monitors your plan with scheduled check-ins.
How much does it cost?
The virtual consultation is free. Metabolic support supplies start at $320. Exact plan pricing is confirmed at your consultation.
Is this the same as the medical weight loss program?
They are related but not identical. Metabolism care starts with understanding your numbers and habits, and your provider may discuss the weight loss program if it is appropriate for you.
Does a slower metabolism explain weight gain?
It can be one factor among several, including hormones, sleep, stress, muscle mass and medications. Your provider looks at the whole picture.
How do I get started?
Book your virtual or in-person consult. Your provider reviews your goals and history, orders labs if applicable, and builds your personalized roadmap.
