About Balanced Health Naturally

About Jeannette Scapens – Adelaide Naturopath & Metabolic Balance® Coach

Hi, I’m Jeannette Scapens, founder of Balanced Health Naturally in Brighton, Adelaide, South Australia.
I’m passionate about supporting and empowering women in midlife and beyond to transform their health, restore energy, and feel great again naturally.

While I can assist with many health conditions, my special focus is on weight loss, hormone balance, and thyroid health, particularly during peri- and menopause. Using a holistic, food-first approach, I help you lead your healthiest, happiest life.

Consultations are available in person at my Brighton clinic or online via telehealth video or phone call across Australia

My Qualifications and Approach

I’m a qualified Naturopath (Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy) and certified Metabolic Balance® Nutrition and Weight-Loss Practitioner.
I’m also a certified Thyroid Recovery Practitioner, certified NLP Practitioner and Coach, Hypnotist, Eating Psychology Coach, and certified Sound Bowl Meditation Practitioner.

As a professional member of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS), I adhere to recognised national standards of education, ethics, and continuing professional development.

This broad combination of skills allows me to address both the physical and emotional sides of wellbeing—combining natural medicine, nutrition, mindset, lifestyle changes, and energy work for lasting results.
My holistic approach also includes the use of functional testing. I can order blood and other specialised tests to help identify the root causes of your symptoms and guide targeted, personalised treatment for lasting improvement.

My Health Journey

My own health struggles led me to study naturopathy.
After the birth of my children, I experienced fatigue, weight gain, and thyroid imbalance that left me feeling flat and frustrated. When I received my comprehensive blood test results, including additional thyroid antibody testing, I discovered I had Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. By following my Metabolic Balance® personalised nutrition plan and supporting my thyroid naturally, I released 19kg in five months, restored my energy, and normalised my antibody levels.

That experience inspired me to help other women reclaim their vitality using the same natural principles.

How I Help My Clients

Most of my clients come to me wanting to:

  • Lose stubborn weight naturally

  • Rebalance hormones during peri- or menopause

  • Improve thyroid function and metabolism

  • Reduce stress and emotional eating

  • Feel energised and confident again

One of my favourite tools for helping women achieve these results is the Metabolic Balance® personalised nutrition program.
This practitioner-only system uses your blood results to create an individualised eating plan that supports your hormones, metabolism, and overall health. I combine this with naturopathic care and mindset coaching to help you achieve lasting results, not just a temporary fix.

Other Areas of Expertise

  • Thyroid Recovery Practitioner – specialised support for Hashimoto’s and underactive thyroid.

  • Food Fit Biocompatibility Analysis – a simple test to find your compatible foods and identify those that may irritate your body, helping to improve digestion, skin health, and overall wellbeing.

  • Functional Testing – blood and other specialised tests to identify the root causes of health concerns and guide precise, personalised treatment plans.

  • Hypnosis and NLP Coaching – helps re-program habits and emotional patterns around eating and stress.

  • Sound Bowl Meditation – promotes relaxation, reduces stress, calms and balances the nervous system, and supports deeper, more restorative sleep.

My Philosophy

I believe the body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right tools—nourishing food, herbs, nutrients, rest, movement, and emotional support.
As your Adelaide Naturopath and Metabolic Balance® Coach, my goal is to guide you towards balance, confidence, and lasting wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer online consultations?
Yes. I provide consultations both in person at my Brighton, Adelaide clinic and online via Zoom or phone. This means you can access naturopathic care, guidance, and Metabolic Balance® coaching from anywhere in Australia, all from the comfort of your own home.

Can I work with you if I’m not in Adelaide?
Absolutely. Many of my clients live outside Adelaide and choose to work with me online via telehealth video link or phone call. I provide the same level of personalised care and support as I do for in-clinic clients, including tailored nutrition plans, functional testing, and follow-up sessions to keep you on track.

What if I don’t want to do the Metabolic Balance® program? Can you still help me?
Yes, definitely. While Metabolic Balance® is one of my favourite tools for achieving excellent results, I offer a wide range of naturopathic services that can be tailored to your needs. These include individual dietary and lifestyle guidance, herbal and nutritional support, and Food Fit Biocompatibility Analysis to identify your most compatible foods. Together, we can create a realistic plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you feel better naturally.
