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 that some get curious about natural ways to support the body in its role of using food (and insulin) properly as fuel and keeping weight in check.

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

Here are some of the testimonials that have been coming in from the beta test group. Please note: These testimonials reflect individual experiences.

“This week’s check-in on my natural GLP-1 support beta test experience. This week 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 grazing. No constant thinking about what’s next.” – Tammy O.

“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.” – Melissa S.

“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! Really excited and curious to see: can I get results without feeling horrible side effects or being obsessed with food all day long to finally release this last 40 pounds?” – Carrie Jo

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

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 supplement 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 supplement 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.
