Normal isn’t the same as optimal
Standard reference ranges are built to flag disease. They're wide, and they're important. But a result can sit inside the normal range and still be a long way from where you feel your best.
A Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis looks at the same kind of blood test through a different lens. I compare your results against narrower, optimal ranges, and I look at how your markers relate to each other. That's where the patterns show up: the ones that might explain the 3pm crash, the afternoon bloat or the foggy head.
You'd never make a business decision without the data. Why do it with your health?
This doesn't replace your GP, and it isn't a diagnosis. It's a second, more detailed look at your numbers. If anything needs medical follow-up, I'll let you know and you'll take it to your GP.
What you get
Your blood test, included. A 45-biomarker panel, with the pathology fee covered in the price.
A detailed analysis. I review every marker against optimal ranges and look for the patterns between them.
A 1-hour review consult. We go through your results together online, in plain English, and you can ask me anything.
Your take-home report. A clear summary of your results to keep, so you can see where you stand now and track how you've moved the needle later.
Your recommendations. General nutrition, lifestyle and supplement suggestions based on what we find.
How it works
Book your free discovery call. Thirty minutes to talk through what's going on and make sure this is the right fit for you.
Get your blood test. I'll send you a pathology request form, and you'll have a fasted blood draw at a collection centre near you.
I analyse your results. Every marker, against optimal ranges, looking for the patterns.
We review them together. A 1-hour online consult where I walk you through what your numbers are saying and what you can do about it.
You decide what's next. Some women take their recommendations and run with them. Others want help putting them into practice, and that's where Metabolic Balance® comes in. Either way, the decision is yours.
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
Your bloods came back normal, and you still feel flat, foggy or wired and tired
You're in perimenopause or menopause and don't recognise yourself anymore
You've tried fasting, keto, counting calories and a cupboard full of supplements, and you're done guessing
You want answers before you commit to a full program
You're analytical, sceptical of fads, and want to see the evidence for yourself
This isn't the right fit if you're after a diagnosis, a medication review or advice on HRT. Those conversations belong with your GP, and I'd always encourage you to have them.

Hi, I'm Liv
I spent years as a marketing executive, juggling a demanding career, raising my daughter and caring for my mum. The stress caught up with me more than once, so I know this life from the inside.
Now I help busy midlife women find what works for their body now, because what worked at 30 doesn't necessarily work at 50. I always start with the data, not a meal plan. I'm a self-confessed longevity geek, but the foundation comes first: nutrition, movement, sleep and stress.
