When Christoph Egel relocated

to the USA to serve a 3-year

expatriate assignment, he and his

amily quickly started to enjoy the

American way o lie so much, they

decided to stay and localize. Unortu-

nately, they also became victims o a

main cause or the obesity epidemic

here in the U.S. heavily processed

oods, a lack o natural nutrients and

bad eating habits.

Christoph and his amily joined more

than 2/3 o the American population in

their quest or a solution to being

overweight or obese. The Egels,

though, had an advantage riends

and amily at home made them aware

o a break-through nutrition program

that had emerged in Germany in 2002:

metabolic balance. This program was

developed by Dr. Wol Funack,

metabolic expert, in close cooperationwith Silvia Brkle, nutritional engi-

neer, and his wie Birgit Funack, who

has since been the managing director

o Metabolic Balance GmbH & Co. KG

The relationship between a balanced

diet and a properly unctioning

metabolism is unmistakeable, states

Dr. Wol Funack. As a method,

metabolic balance pays particular

attention to the act that the body

must produce sufcient enzymes and

hormones in order to maintain a

balanced metabolic system. Every

participant is provided with a nutri-

tional plan that is individually

designed and recommends specifcallythose oods that the participant needs

in order to produce these vitally

important substances.

In an independent study published in

the Journal o Nutrition and Metabo-

lism, metabolic balance demonstrated

signifcant positive eects on weight

loss, symptoms or metabolic syn-

drome, mental well-being and general

quality o lie. It achieves this througha combined approach: natural oods

with a balanced nutrient content, a

well-defned regimen supported by

certifed coaches and regular exercise.

It is no surprise that this award-

winning program has experienced

tremendous growth over the last

decade and has changed the lie

o more than 600,000 program

participants in 28 countries,

including almost 2,500 participants

in the United States.

Today, Christoph Egel is the CEO o

Metabolic Balance, Inc. Ater his wie

became one o the frst metabolicbalance coaches in the U.S. he

experienced the metabolic balance

nutrition program frst hand and was

able to eliminate all the medications

that his executive liestyle required

him to take! Consequently, he is

extremely excited about the value

metabolic balance can add to

corporate wellness programs. As the

economic impact o the obesity

epidemic amounts to more than $270billion per year, with the losses in

productivity being estimated at $164

billion, an all-natural nutrition

program like metabolic balance

can reduce the burden o the

continuously growing healthcare

contribution on companies. Taking

care o our employees is one o our

most important priorities. Healthy

employees are invaluable says

Dr. Funack and this commitment

to its employees earned metabolic

balance the prestigious 2011

HAWARD Health Award.

The obesity problem has reached

epidemic proportions. By 2030, 42%

o Americans are projected to

be obese! metabolic balance is
