You can be consistent, disciplined, and doing all the “right” things…

Showing up. Following the plan. Trying hard.
And still not seeing the results you expect.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
Different bodies respond differently to the same inputs.

Food, exercise, stress, recovery. They don’t land the same way for everyone.
DNA helps explain why the same approach works brilliantly for some women and barely moves the needle for others.

Understanding your genetics helps guide not just diet and lifestyle, but also which supplements are worth your time, and which tests are actually useful to keep an eye on.

When you know how your body prefers to function, effort starts working with you instead of against you.

I’ve seen how powerful it is to understand what type of exercise truly suits the body. Through genetic insights, it’s possible to see whether someone responds better to high-intensity training or more moderate, steady movement.

For me, learning this explained why I always felt sore and drained after pushing too hard at the gym.

Adjusting my approach to include more recovery and balanced movement made a huge difference in how I felt.

Exercise isn’t one-size-fits-all and sometimes working smarter changes everything.

I often hear people say an illness runs in their family, and that can be concerning.

While genetics can show certain tendencies, they don’t determine the final outcome. With the right knowledge, it’s possible to make informed choices around lifestyle, nutrition, and environment that support a different path.

Understanding your DNA can replace fear with clarity and give you a strong starting point for long-term health.

Your history may inform you, but it doesn’t have to define you.

If you’ve tried the plans, followed the rules, and still feel like your body isn’t responding the way it “should,” this is often the missing layer.

The THRIVE level of Balanced by Design is our most personalised option. It includes DNA testing alongside hormone and stress insights, so your care is built around how your body actually functions.
This isn’t about predicting problems or fixing something that’s broken.

It’s about understanding your body at a deeper level and supporting it properly, especially during perimenopause and beyond.

If you’re ready for clarity instead of guesswork, you can learn more about the THRIVE package here:

One of the biggest misconceptions about DNA testing is that it tells you your future.

It doesn’t.

DNA testing shows tendencies, not outcomes. It highlights areas where your body may need a little more support, not a life sentence you can’t escape.

Your genes provide information. Your lifestyle choices influence how those genes express over time.

When women understand this, something shifts. Symptoms stop feeling random. Health stops feeling like a guessing game. You realise you have options, not limitations.

That kind of clarity brings confidence, and confidence changes how you care for yourself long-term.

Some women can drink coffee all day and feel calm, focused, and sleep just fine.

Others feel jittery, anxious, wired but tired, or completely drained after just one cup.

That difference is in your detoxification capacity, and gene function that controls this.

Our bodies process caffeine and stress hormones at different speeds. For some women, caffeine is a helpful and pleasant boost. For others, it pushes the nervous system into overdrive, and impact sleep in consumed too late in the day.

This is why personalised care matters so much.

It’s not about cutting coffee forever or following strict rules. It’s about understanding how your body responds and making choices that actually support your energy, mood, and hormones.

A lot of women hear “DNA testing” and their mind goes straight to fear.

It’s easy to assume it means bad news, a diagnosis, or being told something is wrong with you.
That’s not what this is.

DNA testing isn’t about labels or predictions. It doesn’t tell you what will happen to your body. It simply shows how your body is designed to function and respond to things like stress, food, and lifestyle.

For many women, that information is actually a relief.

Instead of blaming yourself for symptoms or forcing yourself into plans that don’t fit, you finally have context. And when you understand your body, it’s much easier to support it with confidence instead of fear.

Thrive is the most in-depth level of my Balance by Design program, created for women who want a deeper understanding of how their body truly works.

Over six months, it combines personalised metabolic support with hormone, stress, and genetic insights to uncover the underlying drivers of health changes many women experience in their 40s and 50s.

It’s designed for those ready to look beyond quick fixes and create meaningful, long-term change.

Feeling better is good. Thriving is better.

“Making time to see Rebecca and start the Metabolic Balance program was the best investment I’ve made for myself in a long time.

It has returned immeasurable value to my health and weight.”

– Kaz O’brien

After years of trying everything through PT training without the results she once had, Kaz started sleeping better again, reduced hot flushes, lowered her body fat, and lost 11kg.

What stands out isn’t just the physical change.
It’s how supported she felt through hormonal change, injury, and a busy life as a dance mum.

Structure, science, and genuine care can change how the body responds, especially when things have felt frustrating for a long time.

This level of my Balance By Design program is designed for women with more complex health concerns, including hormonal changes, perimenopause, gut issues, and ongoing stress.

It offers extended support, coaching, and accountability, giving us the time to work through challenges, navigate setbacks, and build sustainable progress.

✨ Sometimes clarity comes from slowing down and having the right support in place.

Some days your gut doesn’t need another strategy. It needs calm.

A warm drink can help signal the body to slow down and settle, especially when digestion feels sensitive, sluggish or unsettled. Sip slowly, without rushing or distractions, gives the nervous system a chance to stabilise and support digestion more than we realise.

It’s not about fixing anything
It’s about creating enough calm for the body to do its job.

Small acts of kindness can go a long way.

Everyone needs a different level of support depending on where they’re at in their health journey. That’s why I’ve created a few structured pathways, all based on personalised care, just with different levels of depth so it feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Every option is tailored to you. The difference is how far we go. Some focus on building strong foundations, others tackle deeper, long-standing imbalances, and the top tiers allow us to dig even deeper with hormone, cortisol and genetic testing when that level of insight is needed.

No one-size-fits-all here. Just the right level of support, at the right time.

💬 Health works best when the support matches the person, not the other way around.
