In this episode our expert panel explores the rise of health misinformation online and why professional guidance matters when it comes to nutrition, weight loss, and lifestyle change.
The discussion highlights the risks of following unqualified influencers, how to identify credible practitioners, and the role of Metabolic Balance in providing a structured, evidence-based approach to health. The panel also covers the importance of sustainable meal plans, personalised nutrition, and addressing real-life challenges clients face in achieving long-term results.
