True Healing Starts from Within

At Total Metabolic Solutions, we target the root of modern illness: hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, and cellular stagnation.

Rather than force your body into submission through calories or unsustainable trends, we teach your body to:

  • Burn fat efficiently as a primary fuel source

  • Balance insulin, cortisol, estrogen, and more

  • Restore brain clarity, sleep, and mood

  • Heal the gut, nourish the cells, and reduce inflammation

What Makes Us Different

We understand that health isn’t just about the diet—it’s about changing your mindset, habits, and lifestyle.

Traditional calorie-counting approaches often fail because they fight against your body’s natural processes. Our hormone-first method works with your biology to restore metabolic flexibility—the ability to switch between burning fat and carbs for optimal energy and health.

Through our 12-month Metabolic Mastery program, you’ll experience a total reset that addresses the root causes of:

  • Stubborn weight gain

  • Persistent fatigue

  • Mood swings and cravings
  • Poor sleep quality

Why This Works (When Others Don't)

We focus on metabolic communication. Our focus is how your hormones, organs, and cells talk to each other.

Why our system succeeds: We restore that communication using the following:

Personalized Nutrition Therapy

FAQ's

How is TMS different from traditional nutrition coaching or functional medicine?2025-07-03T03:38:13+00:00

We don’t just teach what to eat. We teach you how to think metabolically.

TMS goes beyond food plans or supplements—we integrate:

  • Hormone-focused Nutrition Therapy
  • Strategic Intermittent Fasting (with flexibility)
  • Nervous system regulation (through breathwork + vagus nerve activation)
  • Gut-brain healing protocols
  • Supplementation that supports all 11 major organ systems

Most programs focus on food or fitness. We focus on rewiring your entire metabolic system—so your body becomes efficient, energized, and resilient from the inside out.

This isn’t a diet. It’s a full-body reset.

What is insulin resistance and how do I know if I have it?2025-07-03T03:27:51+00:00

Insulin resistance happens when your cells stop responding efficiently to insulin—your body’s master metabolic hormone. This means more insulin gets released, but blood sugar still stays high. Over time, this can lead to weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, hormone imbalances, and even diabetes.

Common signs include:

  • Cravings (especially for sugar or carbs)
  • Energy crashes after meals
  • Belly fat that’s hard to lose
  • Skin tags or dark patches of skin
  • Mood swings or brain fog

Most people don’t even realize they’re insulin resistant because it develops slowly. At TMS, we teach how to reverse it naturally—without medications—by regulating hormones through nutrition, fasting, breathwork, and lifestyle shifts.

What is the glycemic index and why does it matter more than calorie counting?2025-07-03T03:29:18+00:00

The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises your blood sugar. Foods with a high GI spike your insulin, while low-GI foods support stable blood sugar and fat burning.

Here’s the truth:
Calorie counting ignores how your body processes food. 100 calories of sugar affects your hormones VERY differently than 100 calories of avocado. That’s why focusing on nutrient density and hormone response is way more effective than tracking calories.

At TMS, we teach you how to use the Glycemic Index Chart as your secret weapon to regulate insulin and support metabolic healing—no calorie apps required.

Is cholesterol actually bad? Or have we been misled?2025-07-03T03:32:39+00:00

We’ve been misled.

Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, brain health, and cellular repair. The body actually makes about 75% of your cholesterol on its own—because it needs it! The real danger lies in oxidized cholesterol, driven by inflammation and insulin resistance, not cholesterol itself.
We educate our clients on the full picture, including:

  • The difference between LDL subtypes (Pattern A vs. Pattern B)
  • The role of Omega 6:3 ratios
  • How to reverse arterial plaque naturally through nutrient therapy (e.g. Vitamin E tocotrienols)

Cholesterol is not the enemy. Inflammation is.

What does a Metabolic Reset actually look like day to day?2025-07-03T03:34:46+00:00

A Metabolic Reset with TMS doesn’t mean deprivation—it means nourishment.

Your day might include:

  • Lemon water + minerals in the morning to activate digestion
  • Strategic intermittent fasting (not starving—strategic!)
  • A nutrient-dense, low-glycemic meal plan that keeps insulin low and energy high
  • Breathwork sessions to lower cortisol and regulate your nervous system
  • High-quality supplements to support the liver, gut, brain, and hormones
  • Movement that matches your energy and healing phase

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter diets. We customize every protocol based on your biofeedback, labs (when available), and how you feel.

Do I have to be in ketosis all the time? (Hint: No.)2025-07-03T03:36:48+00:00

Nope—and we wouldn’t want you to.

While ketosis is an incredible short-term tool for healing, reducing inflammation, and increasing fat burning, long-term success comes from metabolic flexibility—your ability to switch between burning fat and carbs efficiently.

We teach you how to cycle through nutritional phases:

  • Ketogenic healing periods
  • Strategic carb-refeeds
  • Hormone syncing (especially for women 40–80)
  • Seasonal eating and targeted fasting

This keeps your metabolism flexible, your hormones happy, and your body primed for long-term health.
