If you’re a woman in midlife or postmenopausal, you probably know this story all too well.
You gain weight.
You lose weight.
You gain it back… sometimes with interest.

That’s been my reality more than once.
Add in postmenopause, fluctuating hormones, and a lifelong tendency toward low blood sugar, and things can start to feel frustrating fast. I try to be mindful of what I eat, how I move, and how I support my body naturally, yet there are seasons where things just feel harder than they used to.
As a holistic practitioner, I also see the other side of the conversation.
Over the last few years, I’ve watched many clients turn to prescription weight loss medications, including injectable GLP-1 drugs. While some see short-term results, I’ve also witnessed side effects that give me pause: digestive distress, muscle loss, nutrient depletion, energy crashes, and a general disconnect from how the body is meant to work.
Needles aren’t for everyone.
The cost isn’t realistic for many families.
And quick fixes rarely lead to long-term balance.

That’s why I was cautiously curious, and honestly excited, when I learned about the new Balance & Burn™ System from Young Living.
This is not a drug.
It’s not a stimulant-heavy crash-and-burn approach.
And it’s not about starving your body into submission.

Balance & Burn is a plant-powered GLP-1 support system designed to work with the body, not override it. It focuses on supporting healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range, metabolic flexibility, and gut health, which is especially important for women navigating midlife changes.
One of the standout ingredients for me is Akkermansia postbiotic, a beneficial gut compound that research shows plays a role in GLP-1 signaling, metabolic health, and microbiome balance. Supporting the gut first is always where true change begins, especially when blood sugar regulation is part of the picture.
