Hi, I'm Susan.
If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked…
I understand, I’ve been there! I can help!
Science-based, personalised nutrition that finally takes the guesswork out of what your body actually needs. No fads. No shortcuts. A real, sustainable path to feeling like yourself again.

Susan Jones — Clinical Nutritionist & Metabolic Balance Practitioner
You're not broken. You haven't failed.
It’s NOT your fault!!
Maybe your doctor told you to “just lose weight.” Maybe you’ve been offered medication, injections, or surgery. Maybe you’ve already had bariatric surgery, done everything right, and watched the weight creep back anyway.
You just haven’t had a plan built for your body. Until now…
Surviving to Thriving
My personalised nutrition program “Surviving to Thriving” is built around your own pathology results. It gives you a unique Metabolic Balance food list and menu, designed specifically for you. It’s science-based, so there’s no more guessing which foods are right for your body. And because it’s built around your biology, it’s a solution you can sustain for life, not just until the next diet. It is a complete package, proving everything you need to achieve your health goals.
“Metabolic Balance®” has been a trusted name in Europe for the last 20+ years. They have consistently been at the forefront of personalised nutrition for the individual, throughout that time. With headquarters based in Germany, the program is now available in over 40 countries worldwide, including Australia! With 20 years of practical experience and an independent research study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (University of Freiburg, Germany), this amazing program has transformed results for many health clinics. Metabolic Balance® has demonstrated meaningful results in weight management and overall wellbeing, with participants reporting improved blood values related to cholesterol, blood sugars, and inflammation.
The Way To Health Clients often mention that they feel refreshed in the morning, have more energy, love their Metabolic Balance foods and feel happier without brain fog!
Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on improving your health and disease prevention. We look at the underlying causes of a condition and utilise the bodies natural healing ability to help improve or maintain the state of your health. Nutrition and health are inextricably linked.
We can work alongside your doctor or specialist, taking into account the medications you might be on, to safely integrate evidence based natural medicine with western medicine.
A Nutritionist will take the time (60 to 90 minutes initially) to put together a picture of your personal journey to the present day including health history, lifestyle, overseas travel, environment (past and present), medications, blood tests, supplements, infections, chronic conditions, current food intake (including types of diets) food likes and dislikes, exercise, stress level, career level, emotional triggers, mental health history and coping strategies.
After taking into account all of these parts of your life story, we create a special personalised holistic diet and lifestyle plan that is tailored especially to you and your body to allow you to be as healthy as you can be.
Sometimes we prescribe some good quality practitioner supplements to help your body to adjust to the changes or support your hormones and neurotransmitters.
As mentioned above a Nutrition consultation is approximately 90 minutes long. It is important to understand the influences on your diet such as culture or emotional stress and how your mental health affects your choices. We talk through your major body systems to assess how you arrived in your current state. During the consultation, I ask about your life, stress and the environmental and emotional influences on you (even during your childhood).
A complete personal health history is taken, as well as conditions you or your family members may have. I ask specifically what made you come to see me, what your symptoms are, when did they start, the degree of pain, or how long have you been getting these symptoms. There may be things that you haven’t connected to the symptoms that could be a cause. It is very helpful to have any blood test results ready before we begin, daily medications and supplements, as there may be something I can see would support you at the beginning of your journey or there may be something that needs to be removed.
Know that your personal information is securely held and will not be discussed with any other person without you’re expressed consent.
At your follow-up consultation, I present your plan and take you through the different Metabolic Balance Phases and how to approach it. How to prepare and plan the food for the week depending on work hours or what you are doing. I may recommend some supplementation of certain nutrients to facilitate your body adjusting to the program at the start. I also can answer any questions you might have. We work together to figure out an achievable plan for you.
In Australia, we have an unregulated profession, which allows anyone to call themselves a nutritionist. So I encourage you to dig a little deeper and find out if the person you want to see is officially qualified to give nutrition advice to the public or to clients. Ask them if they are a member of industry associations, where you can look up the individual’s name and check for yourself.
My qualification is an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine, completed at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in Pyrmont, Sydney. I completed over 200 hours of clinic during my studies, seeing clients in the ACNT clinic, while being fully supervised by a very experienced Lecturer/Naturopath/Nutritionist. As of 2026, I have 7 years of practical experience within my sole trader nutrition business, with clients. I am registered with ANTA (Australasian Natural Therapists Association).
These associations ensure their members complete professional research and study every year (20 CPE points) to keep their members up to date with current practices. We must also have a current First Aid Certificate, a Children’s Check certificate and a Police certificate.
I have been seeing clients for over 7 years as a mobile Nutritionist (in person) or Online via Zoom.
After discovering Metabolic Balance and easily releasing so much weight, I have become passionate to show people like myself (over 50 yrs) that you can take control and manage your weight by eating the right foods, in the right quantities and at the right times, to have a much better quality of life. Many people expect to lose their health slowly as they age. But I’m here to say that may not have to be your story. I commit to helping you find your Best You!
I understand from 20 years of meeting clients in their homes, as an interviewer in market research, and 7 years of seeing clients for nutrition, that there are many people who need help, who are not as mobile due to injury or chronic conditions. Mental health (anxiety) may also interfere with allowing a person to get out the door. I offer an easier way for them to see a health professional in the comfort of their own home, also saving them time and effort.
I have seen the inside of many homes over the years and do not judge on the condition of your home, so rest assured that I come in peace. My own home isn’t perfectly maintained. A home should be a place where you feel comfortable.
There are many reasons that could cause a person to not be able to clean and tidy their house. Don’t feel guilty or ashamed. I don’t judge – I’m just here to help. I inspire you to have a little courage and take a step in the right direction to improve your health. Your body will thank you!
I have always had an interest in eating to be healthy. My son developed diabetes type 1 at age four years, so I had to quickly learn how to manage his condition with blood sugar checks, insulin injections and food (specifically carbohydrates). Both his grandmothers were also diabetic (one type 1 and the other type 2).
An interest in sourcing organically grown foods, especially growing my own food, started with my father. I don’t think I have a green thumb like my dad but he sure taught me a lot. I currently grow vegetables and herbs for my husband and I and neighbours when we have a surplus.
After finding myself out of a job in 2016 as a Jeweller when the shop closed and finding my 2nd job not something I loved, I called it quits! After my last child moved out of home, I found the majority of the time I was by myself. So what do I do now? Job prospects for a person 55 years old are pretty slim. I wanted something that would make a difference to people’s health.
Researching with Google’s help was frustrating as there is so much conflicting information – I found myself looking for tips on how to be healthy as my husband and I grow older.
One of my children had several strange symptoms that the doctors dismissed as a mental health problem. I knew my child wasn’t mentally ill and we both didn’t want to go down the drug pathway. Putting the puzzle together led me to want to study health in depth from an alternative viewpoint. Then I saw an ad for an Advanced Diploma of Medical Nutrition that had government fee help. Well, that was it! I still can’t believe I finished it after four years, at age 58 years (2018) and started my own little business!
A program I trust with my own health
"After a lifetime of being overweight, I discovered and completed the training to become an official Metabolic Balance practitioner. And in 2019 I released 15kg, not through willpower or deprivation, but by finally giving my body the right foods for my biology. Seven years later, I'm still using the same program to maintain my results."
— Susan Jones, Founder of The Way To Health
Nutrition support that comes to you.
As a mobile Nutritionist, I meet you at home or another quiet, comfortable place, so that getting help feels easy, not like one more thing on your to-do list.
Online consults are also available via Zoom.

Healthy Metabolism
If your Metabolism isn’t working, you can’t turn food into energy very well or use the nutrients to repair and heal properly. The result is many unpleasant symptoms such as weight gain, pain or sleeplessness. Your body is telling you it is not happy. Consuming the right foods can adjust your hormones, relieve menopause symptoms, create a perfect situation for losing excess fat. JUST eat real whole FOOD. Food provides the nutrition for making happy neurotransmitters in our brain.
Food can increase our ability to detoxify (and more). Science can now personalise your foods to correct any deficiencies or excess to enable your body to function well, now and for your future!

Physical Wellness
Eating a tart Apple every day provides the right nutrients and fibre to feed the bacteria in your gut!
Your gut microbes send signals to your brain. Brain health starts in your gut with the food you eat. The food and your gut microbes send chemical messages all over your body, including to your brain. Change your mood with the right food!
Every cell in your body is made from protein and nutrients. Fuelling yourself correctly for your age and height by providing the exact Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Minerals is important for creating vitality and energy. Gentle regular exercise like Yoga or walking is also an important part of Physical Health.

Science Based
Metabolic Balance was founded by Doctors, Nutritionists and Food Technologists at Metabolic Balance in Germany over 25 years ago. Now available worldwide. Metabolic Balance is not a diet. Your personalised Nutrition plan provides a comprehensive food list for you and a meal plan that helps you feel great while managing your weight for the rest of your life!
I offer another science based program FoodFit. Great for Food Intolerances. It uses a small sample of your HAIR by identifying which foods cause inflammation (bloat, gas, etc) in YOUR body. Eliminating troublesome foods and consuming only foods that tested well for a few months, can reset your metabolism and allow healing.
