TIP: Double-check products and prices with Aziz downstairs at the much smaller Healthmart. He stocks a very tasty range of raw milk and yoghurts and always has some good advice.

Dis-Chem, with its chemist chain stores in Canal Walk, Somerset Mall, Tygervalley and Claremont, stock lots of grains, nuts and dried fruits and organically grown dry produce. Their house brand of supplements is good value for money.

Christoph Lenz nutritionist and metabolic balance coach explains the underlying principles of the programme. Looking into metabolic balance you will discover it not being rocket science but a sound eating plan based on “normal food” from your supermarket. As insulin is the key to many metabolism related hormones, effects and diseases we will explain how we are going to control it easily by just eating the right stuff at the right time.

After the presentation of approximately 60min there is enough time to ask any questions.

The Free metabolic balance Info Nights are scheduled for every 1st Tuesday of every month at 7:15pm. Please send us an email or give us a call in order to be able to prepare tea, coffee and snacks accordingly.
