Pro-Metabolic Nutrition – Australia
Stop Starving Your Metabolism
Pro-metabolic nutrition consulting that works with your body's energy systems — not against them.
Most nutrition advice slows you down. Literally.
Cut calories. Eat less fat. Exercise more. Avoid sugar. This is the standard playbook — and for many people, it makes things worse. Lower energy, worse sleep, stubborn weight, hormonal issues, cold hands and feet, brain fog that won't lift.
That's not a willpower problem. It's a metabolic one.
Pro-metabolic nutrition starts from a fundamentally different premise: your body needs adequate energy, not less of it. When you provide the right fuel — enough calories, the right fats, adequate carbohydrates, key vitamins and minerals — your metabolism responds. Body temperature rises. Energy stabilises. Hormones rebalance. Sleep improves.
This approach is informed by decades of bioenergetic research, including the work of Dr Ray Peat.
Whether you're new to pro-metabolic ideas or you've been experimenting for years, this consultation gives you a personalised strategy based on where you actually are.
What You Won't Get From a Conventional Nutritionist
Most nutritionists and dieticians will give you advice that actively works against your metabolism. They'll tell you to:
Cut calories and increase exercise (suppresses thyroid, raises cortisol and adrenaline)
Avoid saturated fat (essential for hormone production and cellular respiration)
Replace butter with seed oils (directly inhibits mitochondrial energy production)
Eat more fibre and whole grains (anti-nutrients, gut irritation, mineral depletion)
Fear all types of sugar (while ignoring the physiological importance of adequate glucose)
Rely on blood panels alone (missing the functional picture entirely)
A pro-metabolic consultation starts from a fundamentally different set of assumptions — ones grounded in bioenergetic research and validated by decades of clinical observation.
This Is For You If
You suspect conventional nutrition advice is making your health worse, not better
You've heard about pro-metabolic or bioenergetic nutrition and want professional guidance — whether you're just starting out or years in
You have hypothyroid symptoms, low body temperature, hormonal imbalances, or chronic fatigue
You've tried conventional nutritionists and felt like they didn't understand your framework
You want a practitioner who understands bioenergetic principles — not someone you need to educate
You're in Australia (or anywhere in the world)
How We Work
This isn't a standard nutrition consultation. We assess your metabolic health through a bioenergetic lens:
Metabolic indicators — body temperature, pulse rate, sleep quality, energy patterns, digestion, and hormonal signs. These tell us more about your metabolic state than most blood panels.
Dietary assessment — not just macros and calories, but the quality and metabolic impact of what you're eating. Are you eating enough protein? What about the types of fats and carbohydrates? Are you getting enough bioavailable calcium, magnesium, and fat-soluble vitamins?
Environmental factors — light exposure, endocrine disruptors, water quality, and stress load. These directly impact thyroid function and metabolic rate.
Targeted strategy — specific, actionable steps to support oxidative metabolism, improve thyroid output, reduce metabolic stress, and address your individual symptoms.
What’s Included
60-Minute 1:1 Consultation — We'll assess your current metabolic state, dietary approach, and lifestyle factors. I'll identify where you're stuck and what's working against you — using a bioenergetic framework, not conventional dietetics.
Personalised Starter Protocol (PDF) — Within 48 hours, you'll receive a clear, actionable document outlining specific dietary adjustments, supplementation if needed, and environmental changes — all informed by pro-metabolic principles.
30-Minute Follow Up Call — Once you've reviewed your protocol, we'll meet again to walk through the findings, answer your questions, and refine the approach.
A Clear Next Step — Whether you want ongoing support or simply need a one-time strategic assessment, you'll leave with a clear direction.

Who You’ll Be Working With
I'm Ben — the person behind Eat Ancestral.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Health Science (Nutrition and Exercise) and I've spent over a decade in this field — first as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, now as a nutrition and health strategist.
My approach is heavily informed by the work of Ray Peat, alongside Weston A. Price, and other researchers who actually studied what makes humans healthy — rather than what makes food and pharma companies profitable.
I don't prescribe or diagnose — I educate and strategise. My job is to help you understand what's actually driving your symptoms, and give you a proven framework to address it.
For some clients, that's a single engagement. For others — especially those unwinding years of metabolic suppression — I become a long-term advisor. This is where that relationship starts.

Common Questions
What happens on the calls?
The first session (60 minutes) is where we assess your nutrition, lifestyle, and goals. I'll gather what I need to build your protocol. The second session (30 minutes) is where we walk through your recommendations and make sure you're set up to move forward.
I'm new to pro-metabolic nutrition. Is this right for me?
Absolutely. You don't need to have read anything beforehand. If conventional advice hasn't worked for you and you want an approach that supports your metabolism rather than suppressing it, this consultation will give you a clear starting point.
How familiar are you with Ray Peat's work?
Very. His research on thyroid physiology, the metabolic effects of PUFA, the protective role of progesterone, and bioenergetic principles has fundamentally shaped my approach. That said, I don't follow any single researcher dogmatically — I integrate insights from Peat, Price, and others into a practical, personalised framework.
I've been doing pro-metabolic for a while but I'm still not feeling great. Can you help?
That's exactly who this is for. The principles are sound but applying them to your individual biology takes more than reading articles. Common issues include: not eating enough, still consuming too much PUFA, inadequate mineral intake, thyroid suppression from chronic stress, or environmental factors nobody's addressed.
Do you recommend supplements?
When needed, yes — but food comes first. If supplementation is appropriate, I'll recommend specific forms and doses informed by bioenergetic principles. I also have a comprehensive Nutrient & Supplement Protocols guide available separately.
Is this just for people in Australia?
No. Most consultations happen via video call. I work with clients worldwide.
What if I want ongoing support?
Many clients want a practitioner in their corner long-term. After your follow-up call, I'll explain the options — from periodic check-ins to comprehensive programs.
Ready to stop fighting your metabolism?
No calorie counting. No crazy meal plans. Just a strategy built around how your body actually produces energy — and someone qualified to help you implement it.
