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
