The Naturopath Who Has Walked in Your Shoes.
Meet Jeannette Scapens Naturopath
I know exactly what it feels like to do everything “right” and still feel wrong.
No judgement. Just clarity about what’s really going on.
If you are reading this, you are probably feeling frustrated. You might be eating the “healthy” foods, exercising when you have the energy, and taking the supplements… but the weight isn’t moving, and the exhaustion won’t lift.
I want you to know: It is not in your head. And it is not your fault.
I know this because I have been there myself.
My Journey: From Constant Fatigue and Weight Gain to Confidence and Clarity
My journey with constant fatigue and weight gain left me feeling frustrated, foggy, and no longer like myself. I lived with persistent symptoms – low energy, weight that wouldn’t shift, digestive discomfort, puffiness, aches and pains, and a sense that something just wasn’t right.
As I moved through perimenopause, I also experienced mood swings, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and growing discomfort with how my body was changing – and no clear answers.
Like many of the women I now support, I knew something deeper was going on… I just didn’t know what.
This ongoing search for answers led me to study Naturopathy. I was determined to understand my body, restore my vitality, and help others do the same.
Natural Medicine Helped – But Something Was Still Missing
After becoming a qualified Naturopath, I made meaningful changes using nutritional support, herbal medicine, and lifestyle shifts.
While I experienced some relief, I sensed there was still a missing piece in my own health journey.

The Turning Point: From Guessing to Testing
My breakthrough didn’t come from another generic diet. It came when I stopped guessing – and started testing.
I discovered the Metabolic Balance® program – a scientifically proven, evidence-based nutrition program that uses comprehensive blood values to create a personalised food plan. It wasn’t about starvation; it was about chemistry.
By following a plan ‘tailored from’ my unique ‘metabolic blood biochemistry to finally nourish my body, reduce inflammation and balance my thyroid’:
- I released 19kg of stubborn weight
- I put my Hashimoto’s into remission
- I regained the energy I thought was gone forever Within just two weeks, I began to feel like myself again.
The puffiness, aches, digestive discomfort, and even plantar fasciitis eased. My heart rhythm settled.
Over the following months, I released a total of 19kg – and more importantly, I felt clear, strong and confident again. It was truly life-changing!
Now, I Help Other Women Experience the Same Transformation
Since then, I’ve been offering this powerful program to my clients — especially women over 40 navigating fatigue, hormonal shifts into menopause, thyroid challenges, and stubborn weight.
On average, clients release around 10kg in just 12 weeks, with many reporting better energy, clearer thinking, more balanced moods, and a renewed sense of self. They finally feel empowered and in control.
Now, I’ve made it my mission to help other women over 40 stop fighting their bodies and start supporting them in a way that works.
Because every woman deserves to feel good and at home in her body again.
More than seven years later, I still follow my personalised Metabolic Balance® plan in the relaxed phase as the foundation of my eating and I feel fantastic. At 60, I genuinely look and feel better than I did aged 52!
Why Working With Me is Different…
Evidence-Based Support for Body & Mind
with compassionate Guidance
Many practitioners focus only on the blood work. Others focus just on the mindset and habits.
At Balanced Health Naturally, you benefit from combining both delivered in a supportive, caring way that recognises you as a whole person, not just a set of test results.
First:
I Test, I Don't Guess
(The Body)
As a certified Metabolic Balance® Coach, I work from quality data not assumptions.
