Patricia Frederick brings a unique perspective to this episode as a French-trained chef, health coach and lifelong food lover who faced stage three breast cancer in her mid-sixties. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, she found her appetite, digestion, energy and confidence around food deeply affected. Even with strong nutrition knowledge, she needed support to rebuild in a structured, personalised way.

Through Metabolic Balance and guidance from practitioner Mary-Leigh Scheerhoorn, Patricia began using real food, balanced protein portions, fresh vegetables, herbs, fruit and simple meal structure to support recovery and reconnect with nourishment. A turning point came as her energy returned, her hair began growing back, and she walked 200 kilometres in March for cancer research. Patricia’s story is honest, hopeful and practical, reminding listeners that personalised nutrition, whole food and steady practitioner support can help people feel more capable on their health journey, one nourishing meal at a time today.

In this episode of Metabolic Balance Stories, host Cherry Wills speaks with Rachael Fattore, a naturopath and Metabolic Balance practitioner from regional New South Wales. Rachael shares how her own healing journey began after a serious accident as a teenager, which led to chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and eventually a deep interest in natural health. Despite years of naturopathic knowledge, whole foods, and movement, she later experienced fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, cycle changes, and feeling disconnected from her body. Further testing revealed Hashimoto’s disease, giving her an answer, but she still needed a clear way forward.

Rachael explains how discovering Metabolic Balance ® in 2021 became a turning point in both her personal and professional life. Through her personalised nutrition plan, she found structure, nourishment, and a food foundation that supported her energy, weight, thyroid health, and long-term wellbeing. Cherry and Rachael also explore why “eat less and exercise more” is not always the answer, especially when stress, hormones, thyroid health, gut health, and burnout are involved. This conversation highlights the power of real food, practitioner guidance, and sustainable lifestyle change for clients who feel stuck despite doing their best.

Cherry Wills and Jacqui Lewis discuss how personalised nutrition fits alongside medical weight loss interventions like bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications.

While these tools can be powerful, they are not complete solutions on their own. Without the right nutrition, clients may face muscle loss, malnutrition, and challenges with long-term sustainability.

This episode highlights the importance of structured eating, education, and ongoing support, especially when appetite is reduced.

It also reinforces that weight regulation is not one-size-fits-all.
