Most men and women over 50 begin to notice how difficult it becomes to lose the stubborn midlife midsection. In the blink of an eye the middle age spread becomes a real thing!
You look in the mirror and wonder how do you get your body and your energy back?
Without warning, you are being prescribed sleeping pills, blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-anxiety, or diabetes medications..and this is just the beginning.
Some may accept the notion that aging inevitably leads to these types of changes, or believe their genetics dictate their health, leaving them with little control.
This thinking is simply not true!
You have the choice to take proactive steps that help you look and feel your best while aging with vitality!
Midlife is the time to put your health first - if not now when?

The best way to learn more is to download the Program Guide available on this site. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know to help you make the right decision for yourself!
-
What Is The Cleanse Phase?The Cleanse Phase is a gentle 2 day cleanse where you still will be eating food and will not go hungry. We gently cleanse your digestive system in preparation for the nutritious foods you will be eating for the following 14 days. This Phase is optional for some people depending on their medical status.
-
What if I already eat healthy?It’s great that you are already eating healthy, but are you getting the nutrients your body really needs? The foods you will receive are based on your bloodwork. so there is no guessing - you will know the exact foods that are right for you. Most foods on the plan are very familiar to people, and there can be some new foods as well (it’s up to you if you want to try the new foods or just eat what is familiar). The magic happens because you give your body the right nutrients, in the right amounts, at the right times to reset your hormones (such as your hunger hormone, sleep hormone, and insulin), release inflammation, reboot your metabolism and reignite your energy! While the foods may be familiar, the ratios and daily habits will most likely be new to you. Metabolic Balance has created a program that allows the body to reset effectively and quickly.
-
Will I be able to have my coffee or tea?Yes! You will still be able to enjoy your morning coffee or tea! Most people are allowed up to 2 cups of tea or coffee with a meal.
-
Will I have to stop drinking alcohol?Drinking alcohols during the 2 day detox and the 14 day prescriptive eating phase will be counter productive to what you are trying to achieve since it is harmful to your liver and impacts your sleep. After the first 16 days, as you move into Phase 3 of you plan you can enjoy an alcoholic beverage if that is what you wish to do while still working toward your health goals. You and your nutritionist will talk more about this as you enter this phase.
-
What if I don’t like the foods on my plan?While everyone’s plan is different, most people find there is a wide variety of whole food choices. It is understandable to be hesitant, and even fearful to think that you won’t have any foods you like, but everyone finds familiar foods, foods they enjoy and even new favourites! Most likely you want to make a change for your health, and the choice really is yours to make. The restrictive part of the plan is only 16 days, after that even more foods are introduced and you can bring back alcohol if that is what you desire. There is no better time than now to start because there will always be an excuse, but you have to want the results more than you want to keep doing the same things and getting the same results. What you learn on this plan goes way beyond what to eat - you learn the right foods, the right portion sizes, the right timing, and the right lifestyle habits for an effective reset and sustainable weight loss for long-term health.
-
What if I have food intolerances?Known food intolerances are taken into consideration when building your plan. You will never be asked to eat anything you are intolerant to.
-
What does a personalized program include?This program is tailored to your specific needs. Not only is your nutrition program completely personalized and unique to you, but you also receive personal 1-to-1 guidance throughout your plan. Your nutritionist and coach is there to answer any questions, while providing guidance, encouragement and accountability which helps to make the changes sustainable in the long-term. Scientific evidence shows that major health shifts are truly successful when people have guided support. As your coach I am right there by your side, every step of the way! Having that type of guidance allows people to achieve the results they deserve for a healthy and happy future!
-
What if I just want the nutrition plan?If I don't want to attend all the meetings and just want a nutrition plan can I do that? Unfortunately, Metabolic Balance is not designed that way. Coaching is an integral part of the program because both the science of weight loss, and the 20+ years Metabolic Balance has been working with clients, shows that the greatest success and chance of making real, lasting change comes from working with and being accountable to your nutritionist. LifeSHIFT Wellness has seen these exact same results. The closer someone works with their nutritionist - asking questions, showing up for meetings, sending in check-ins and updates on how they are doing - the more success they have short and long term! Making time for meetings is part of solidifying the habit of making time for yourself. Most DIY programs, especially health programs, never get finished because life happens and something always gets in the way with no one to turn to for help to get back on track.
-
Who doesn't qualify for the program?The Metabolic Reset & Renew Program is based on whole foods, and is safe and appropriate for most people, but some may not be eligible including: ✅ Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. ✅ People undergoing active chemotherapy treatment (though after chemo this program can help restore the body). ✅ Those with severe liver or kidney disease. ✅ Anyone who does not have a health practitioner such as a doctor, naturopath or nurse practitioner to oversee medical records. Since our doctor reviews your bloodwork if there is something that requires further attention, Metabolic Balance will correspond with your health practitioner.
-
Who succeeds at this program?Any change to your health requires commitment and dedication, especially in the first 3 months. Experience tells me that those most likely to succeed have a willingness to: ✅ Show up for all virtual meetings to ask questions and gain clarity - making the most out of the time they have with their nutritionist and coach is key. ✅ Participate in all text check-ins for at least the first 3 months so they are accountable and can receive weekly feedback and support. ✅ Adopt a learner's mindset, and understand they are learning new skills and building new habits which takes time and practice. When expectations of themselves are too high upfront people tend to tell themselves they can't do it, or they get frustrated. ✅ Learn how to identify and plan for obstacles in their daily lives that can get in the way of the new habits they are building, allowing for long term success. ✅ Use the resources and tools provided in the program to assist with some of the mindset shifts needed in order to create lasting change.

I've lowered my blood sugar markers and no longer need to start a diabetes medication
I started Lifeshift Wellness' Reset & Renew Program over 3 months ago because I wanted to avoid starting a diabetes medication, and it has been an amazing experience!
To date I have lost 30lb and 3.5" off my waist! my digestive health has improved significantly and I have zero heartburn (previously a chronic issue). I am also sleeping better! Most importantly, I have learned how to balance my insulin and blood sugar naturally so I do not have to start a diabetes medication!
Josephine has been really great, and she provided valuable coaching, education and support throughout my journey. I cannot overstate the benefits I have experienced so far! The results have been amazing and this is a plan I can easily follow for life!
Andrew G., Toronto
I lost 25lb and lowered my blood pressure medication
by 50% in the first month!
My blood pressure was very high, and I had recently been prescribed blood pressure medication, which I did not want to continue taking. I was introduced to LifeSHIFT Wellness by a friend who had seen great results on the Reset & Renew Program, so I wanted to try it out.
To date I have lost 30 pounds and 4" off my waist, and my metabolic age is 2 years younger already! I now I have increased mobility, comfort, and I fully expect to eliminate all medication soon. Josephine made following the nutrition plan easy and was always accessible to answer my questions.
I couldn’t be more happy with the results and I look forward to the continued weight loss and health benefits!
Greg W., Toronto
I am thrilled with the program and my results!
Metabolic Balance has been a game changer for me! After many years of struggling with perimenopausal symptoms including weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, anxiety and brain fog I joined LifeSHIFT Wellness' Reset & Renew Program.
Josephine guided me every step of the way as I adopted my nutrition plan, learned healthier lifestyle habits and learned what my body needs. Today, after three months I’m almost at my goal weight and I’ve lost two inches in my hips and waist so far! Once the nutrition and lifestyle habits are formed it really is a lifestyle choice and not a diet.
I feel like myself again and love the energy I have now! The program requires your commitment to getting healthy, but it's very easy to follow and it's worth it!
Candice T, Toronto Ontario
The program is a game changer! I feel younger and stronger!
My weight was maxing out, my energy level was low, sleep was awful, my arthritis pain was getting worse, and I knew I needed to do something. That's when I started the Reset & Renew Programand began my journey to better health!
Josephine has been phenomenal! She is very supportive, authentic knowledgeable, and most of all she truly cares about how you are doing and is on top of all your questions. She checks-in frequently and holds you accountable, which is exactly what I needed. Since starting three months ago, I've lost 20 lbs and 3.5" off my waist, my energy level has improved, I'm sleeping much better and my arthritis pain level has decreased significantly!
At the very beginning I was skeptical, as I didn't believe I could lose the weight so fast, but I knew something had to change. Trust me when I tell you this program has been a game changer! I feel younger and stronger! Don't be afraid to fully commit - when you do - it will be worth it!
John P., Toronto
I never expected benefits in such a short amount of time!
Everyone needs to reset and recalibrate, and I was no different. When I joined the Reset & Renew Program I was tired of the menopausal weight gain. In such a short amount of time not only did I lose weight, but my cravings disappeared overnight, and I experienced higher energy, reduced inflammation (which helped my Rheumatoid Arthritis) and I felt physically and mentally lighter.
The Metabolic Reset & Renew Program has shown me the many benefits of providing my body with the right nutrition and the impact proper lifestyle habits can have on my health. I now have a plan and simple tools that I can easily apply to real life....for the rest of my life!
Deb D., Toronto
Your future-self will thank you for joining this program!
I tried countless methods of eating to reach my body composition goals and achieve overall well-being, but the Reset & Renew Program is the most effective program I've ever encountered! What makes it truly special is how it is tailored specifically for me based on my bloodwork, and how easy it is to follow!
I'm now in the best shape of my life, and the health benefits are countless! I'm sleeping so much better, I have way more energy and greater mental focus, my workouts are better and I feel stronger and fitter than I have in years!
Josephine was an integral part of my success - she is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. She explained things clearly and made the transition from phase-to phase easy. I am confident in my ability to sustain these healthy habits long-term. I feel completely renewed. This program has been a game-changer for my health and long-term longevity.
Neil B., Toronto
The results speak for themselves!
I would highly recommend Josephine & LifeSHIFT Wellness to anyone looking to improve their physical and mental health and overall well-being. In a time where we are inundated with social media fads and diets, I am pleased to say I couldn't be happier with LifeSHIFT Wellness' Reset & Renew Program.
I lost 15 lbs. and 3 1/2” off my waist in 6 weeks! I now fit into old jeans I haven't worn for years! The meals were very easy to follow and prepare. I simply followed my personalized plan with support from Josephine, who was a tremendous help. She was able to answer all my questions in a timely and easy-to-understand manner. Her knowledge is second to none, and her ability to break things down in layman’s terms is impeccable!
Fast forward three months later, and it has been so easy to weave my plan into my every day life and maintain my weight! I was provided with information to help me better understand nutrition choices, digestive health, mental well-being, sleep habits and exercise. I have new tools and skills and I am creating new habits that will help me age well at midlife!
Rudy A., Alliston
My plan delivered & I have the tools to make my new way of living a permanent, positive change!
I would highly recommend working with Josephine & LifeSHIFT Wellness' Reset & Renew Program. My goals were to lose weight, address some stomach issues, and reset my body to live and feel better and Josephine and the plan DELIVERED!
I lost 20 pounds, eliminated the negative reactions my body was having to certain foods, and reset my relationship with food. I feel confident these changes will be long-term and Josephine gave me the tools, support and encouragement to make my new way of living a permanent positive change for me.
My only regret is not calling LifeSHIFT Wellness sooner - don't wait make the change today!

I Now Have A Clear Plan For The Supplements I am Taking!
I was confused about what supplements I should be taking - there is so much noise and nonsense out there in the market about what to take. Thankfully I found LifeSHIFT Wellness! Josephine took all the guesswork out of taking supplements. She reviewed my health conditions, medications and supplements and created a plan that worked!
Today I am feeling better and more confident about my approach to supplementation, AND I ended up reducing the number of supplements I was taking and saving money! I highly recommend working with Josephine - she is knowledgeable and caring.
