STRONG & LEAN™
A personalised weight loss program for women ready to reset their metabolism, regain their vitality, and feel confident in their bodies again.
(Based on the science behind Metabolic Balance®, uniquely delivered through Sara Knight’s Strong & Lean Method.)
You’re not imagining it —
Your body really has changed.
For years, you could more or less manage your weight with a few healthy habits and some willpower. But now? It feels like everything you used to do has stopped working.
You eat less, move more, and somehow gain weight.
You feel puffy, tired, and frustrated.
And no matter how “healthy” you try to be, the scales refuse to budge.
You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken.
Your metabolism — the intricate system that governs how you burn, store, and use energy — has simply shifted.
This is common in midlife, when stress, inflammation, hormonal changes, sleep, and insulin sensitivity all begin to work against you.
Strong & Lean is designed to turn that around.
My Story —
And why I created Strong & Lean
For most of my life, I was able to maintain my weight with a bit of effort and awareness. But in my mid-40s, everything changed.
Suddenly, it felt like my body was fighting me. Any change in diet or exercise seemed to lead to more weight gain, not less.
I tried countless approaches — including hiring a young 20-something weight loss coach (big mistake!).
It wasn’t until I followed the personalised, biochemistry-based approach behind what is now the Strong & Lean Method that everything clicked.
I lost 17 kilos in six months — even while taking two overseas holidays in that same period.
More importantly, I learned how to eat and live in a way that supports my metabolism and insulin sensitivity (my personal Achilles heel).
Now, I still live the Strong & Lean way — with more flexibility and balance — and I help other women do the same.
Because when you understand how your body works, you can finally stop fighting it.
The Strong & Lean Approach:
A clear, data-driven, personalised path to reach and maintain your healthy weight — without deprivation, confusion, or burnout.
Strong & Lean is a clinically guided, wholefood-based weight loss program that helps you:
Lose weight and keep it off — by balancing blood sugar, hormones, and metabolism.
Improve energy and mood — so you wake up clear-headed and ready for your day.
Reduce cravings and inflammation — through foods that stabilise insulin and decrease inflammation.
Rebuild confidence and calm — knowing exactly what, when, and how to eat for your body.
It’s not about counting calories or chasing perfection.
It’s about precision, consistency, and understanding what your body needs to thrive.
Why most programs don’t work for women in midlife
Most weight loss plans fail because they rely on restriction, gimmicks, or a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
They focus on calories instead of chemistry.
And they ignore the deeper drivers of midlife weight gain — like stress, poor sleep, blood sugar imbalance, and inflammation.
Strong & Lean is different.
It’s built on your personal biochemistry, using your blood results, health history, and body composition to create a nutrition plan that works for you, not against you.
What makes Strong & Lean different:
1
Personalised
from the inside out
Your program starts with a comprehensive blood test (38 markers) that provides a snapshot of your metabolic health, hormones, and inflammation.
From there, you get a personalised eating plan that tells you exactly what to eat, how much, and when — based on your unique needs.
2
Grounded in science, guided by experience
Strong & Lean is built on the principles of the Metabolic Balance® program — a method developed by European physicians and nutrition scientists with over 30 years of data — and refined by my years of clinical experience helping women reset their metabolism.
