Balance & Burn Reviews: Natural GLP-1 Support

There’s a lot of buzz around the naturally occurring hormone, GLP-1 and its role in metabolism, appetite signaling, and blood sugar balance. Here we’re taking a deep dive into Young Living’s new Balance & Burn GLP-1 support, including reviews from an early test group.

Maintaining a healthy weight can be harder as we age… even for those of us who are doing all (or most of) the right things like:

• moving our body every day (and adding weight-bearing exercise as we get older)
• prioritizing real food and balancing macronutrients
• eating in an order that supports blood sugar stability
• getting sequential daylight to help regulate the circadian rhythm
• managing stress and keeping our nervous system regulated

I’ve learned first-hand from working with nutritionist Lisa Kirby and interviewing experts like Dr. Catherine Clinton that the actions above really do help with hormones and weight as perimenopause nears.

But even after seeing and feeling results in your body, modern life can make it hard to maintain the willpower it takes to avoid the cravings and crashes that come with fluctuating hormones. Yes, a reasonable diet or philosophy allows for a splurge every now and then. But my friends and I often wonder what’s the difference between one bad weekend and a month-long abandonment of your beliefs when it comes to eating healthy!

So it’s no wonder some of us are curious about natural ways to support the body in its role of using food (and insulin) properly as fuel and keeping weight manageable.

What is GLP-1?

GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone your body releases when you eat. It helps signal satiety, supports blood sugar balance, and can make it easier to stop eating when you’re truly satisfied. It’s not new or artificial. GLP-1 isn’t a trend or a drug. It’s something your body already makes naturally, especially when your gut is supported and meals are balanced.

For many people, foundational habits still do the heavy lifting:

• Eating protein, fiber, and healthy fats in a way that supports steady energy
• Getting outside for natural sequential daylight
• Moving your body daily and adopting some form of weight-bearing or resistance exercise
• Managing stress and regulating the nervous system so the body isn’t constantly in “fight or flight”
• Allowing room for flexibility – we like the 80/20 approach to eating

A supplement like Balance & Burn is meant to support those foundations. It was created to support metabolic balance and appetite regulation through ingredients that align with a more holistic wellness approach.

Balance & Burn Reviews

Please note: These testimonials reflect individual experiences.

“Two weeks in and I’m down 8 lbs. The food noise is gone. I’ve never in my life felt ‘done’ after a meal, actually satisfied and that feeling is amazing. I’m more focused and can finally finish what I start. No cravings. I’m sleeping better through the night. I feel motivated with steady, calm energy not the jittery kind. I even feel more connected to my husband because I feel better about myself.” – Melissa S.

“This week’s check-in, I released 8.5 lbs and 4.5 inches total 3 inches just from my stomach. I’m not hungry. I’m still eating, I’m just being intentional because the food noise is gone. No constant thinking about what’s next.” – Tammy O.

“Balance and Burn is curbing my appetite so much! I’ve been taking it for 5 &1/2 weeks. That still blows my mind that I do not want the whole refrigerator with salt on it. When I take it, the food noise is gone. No hunting in the pantry. Nothing. Which is not the norm for my menopause self. I’m down 11 pounds through two holidays!” – Carrie Jo

“One month in and I’m down 15 pounds and 12 inches.” – Bryan M.

“I’m on Day 5 today and this morning I weighed. I’ve lost 8 lbs. I was shocked so I triple-checked the scales! While I cheated a little yesterday with some chocolate kisses. I’m very impressed with the way the simple ingredients are bringing my metabolism back to the younger years’ levels.” – Angela A.

“After using the balance and burn system, I’ve lost 22 pounds in eight weeks and I feel amazing. It’s been easier to stick to my healthy eating plan, and I feel healthier and more satisfied. It’s been a total lifestyle shift, not just a temporary change.” – Jared W.

“I just stepped on the scale and I’m 7 pounds down since my 3-week check-in with 3 inches gone total. This wasn’t strict dieting. Balance & Burn each morning, real food, and living life! I enjoyed Christmas, road trips, birthday dinners, and still got results.” – Tina D.

“In my first 2 days using Balance & Burn, the scale moved 7 pounds. Monday morning I weighed 366, and this morning I weighed 359. This will not be everyone’s experience. I have a lot of weight to release, and my body has been inflamed and metabolically stuck for a long time. My energy is back in a way I remember from when I was younger. There’s a sense of alignment, like my body remembers how to work with me again.” – Tiffany P.

“I’m 6 weeks in and I’m down 11 pounds and 18 inches body wide.” – Anonymous beta tester

More Energy, Focus, Blood Sugar Stability, Improved Sleep

“I have very little appetite and I had dinner last night. Put a normal amount for me on the plate and then looked at it and took off about half. I was saying it was too much without realizing I don’t do that usually. I feel like I’m in my 20s again with food and just eating for fuel. 5 days. Amazing. Also much more calm and relaxed, sleeping better too.” – Anonymous beta tester

“The last time I wore a glucose monitor, my numbers were looking like pre-diabetic (or perimenopausal insulin resistance), even with focusing on protein-heavy meals, not a lot of snacking, and walking twice a day. I’ve been taking Balance & Burn for 8 days and my average glucose has dropped from 115 to 95. The only thing I’m doing different (aside from this supplement) is that I have more energy to walk longer and do 5-10 min of bodyweight exercises a day.”

“I’m feeling calmer. I can’t quite explain it.” – Carrie B.

“Inflammation is down. My apron belly is tightening like I’ve been doing crunches but I haven’t. I have zero desire for sweets. I crave water instead. My HRV is up. My resting heart rate is down. I have an insane amount of energy without feeling overstimulated. This has been super fun and my to do list appreciates it! I get full fast and have to be intentional about protein and fiber.” – Melissa P.

“Since starting the supplements, I have lost 12 pounds, and it was only a little over a week! I was very surprised by the quick drop and complete loss of my cravings, whenever I eat I noticed that I get full faster and stay satisfied much longer. I have more energy than I did before, my brain fog is completely gone.” – Angelica P.

“My husband and I went out to longhorn tonight and got steaks. Normally we both could eat all our meal. Tonight we both took half home and we didn’t eat it after our movie couch date.” – Mary C.

“I’ve been using B&B for 4 days and I’m down 3.5 lbs. This is a big win for me because over Christmas I indulged big time and had gained 4 lbs, so to get back to normal in 4 days is amazing. Biggest shift I’ve noticed is it is just easier to eat less and not snack, especially after dinner. I usually crave salty snacks after dinner but have not been wanting to snack after dinner at all.” – Anonymous beta tester

How Balance & Burn Works

Balance & Burn is designed to work with your body, not fight against it. It supports the signals (hormones, enzymes, metabolic pathways) your body already uses to regulate appetite, energy, and blood sugar. When those signals are unclear, the body tries to protect itself, often through increased cravings, energy crashes, or holding onto fuel “just in case.”

This system is designed to support metabolic health using ingredients like:

• Berberine (phytosomal) — supports healthy insulin signaling
• Akkermansia postbiotic + fibers — supports gut health and GLP-1 signaling
• Citrus polyphenols — support fat utilization and waist changes
• Plant-based caffeine + green tea extract — gentle metabolic support

Together, these help support:

• Balanced blood sugar
• Appetite and satiety signaling
• Fat utilization for energy
• Gut and metabolic health

For people with insulin resistance, this combo can be a game-changer when paired with good nutrition and movement.

Balance: Supporting Gut–Hormone Communication

The Balance & Care packet focuses on the relationship between the gut microbiome and hormone signaling – particularly GLP-1, a hormone involved in appetite regulation and glucose handling.

One area of research behind this approach involves Akkermansia muciniphila, a beneficial gut bacterium associated with gut lining integrity and metabolic signaling. Research has explored how this bacterium and its metabolites may support communication between the gut and hormone-releasing cells.

In simple terms, this pathway is about:

• Supporting gut integrity and microbial balance
• Encouraging the body’s own GLP-1 signaling (not forcing it)
• Helping appetite cues feel calmer and more trustworthy

What people often notice:
Feeling satisfied after meals, fewer intense cravings, and less “food noise” through steadier internal signals.

Burn: Supporting Energy Use and Metabolic Efficiency

The Burn & Control packet is designed to support how the body accesses and uses stored energy.

It works through pathways involved in cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) signaling, which plays a role in fat breakdown and mitochondrial activity, supporting how efficiently cells convert fuel into energy. And it helps the body remember how to access available energy without relying on stress hormones or artificial push.

The Control portion involves AMPK, sometimes described as a master regulator of metabolic balance. AMPK activation helps cells:

• Pull glucose out of the bloodstream
• Use carbohydrates more efficiently
• Support steadier insulin signaling

What people often notice:
Energy that feels steady rather than forced, less drag through daily movement, and a sense that the body is more willing to participate instead of resisting.

Keep in mind that supplements are not a substitute for real food, movement, or nervous system care. Always consult with your healthcare provider before adding new supplements or making changes to your diet or lifestyle.
