Metabolic Renewal is a unique weight loss program for women, designed to suit your individual hormonal requirements. With this plan, they claim you get to create a diet, exercise and lifestyle plan that suits YOU.
Does this work for all women, and more importantly, will it work for you? In this Metabolic Renewal review, we’ll take a closer look to see exactly what you get in the plan, how it works, who it’s right for, and who it’s not right for.

For men, we recommend Metabolic Aftershock instead.
What is Metabolic Renewal?
What’s in the box
Metabolic Renewal is a 12-week program that integrates the diet, exercise, and lifestyle plans recommended and customized according to your profile. If you need longer to reach your goal weight and shape, you simply repeat the program, increasing the intensity of the exercises if you wish.
Dr Jade Teta
The plan is designed to help you lose fat fast by combining short, intense bursts of exercise with a protein-based eating program that doesn’t involve counting calories or going hungry. It was developed by integrative physician Dr Jade Teta, who also designed Metabolic Aftershock.
What’s in the box?
Inside Metabolic Renewal you get:
1. Quick Start Guide
A two-page summary of the program
2. Exercise Videos on DVD or online
All of the 15-minute workouts for the 4 phases of the 12-week plan, at different levels according to your current fitness. These come on 4 DVDs for you to play on your TV or computer, or you can access them online.
Dr Jade Teta is your coach and his students demonstrate the different levels for each exercise. According to Dr Jade, all of the exercises can be done at home, with no special equipment (unless you are at a higher level of fitness where you might want to use weights). They are very quick (three 15-minute sessions a WEEK), so you can easily fit it into your schedule.
3. Metabolic Renewal Roadmap
A 204-page book covering:
– how Metabolic Renewal works
– hormones and metabolism
– meals, mindset, and movement
– how to get started
– how to accelerate your weight loss
The book also includes the 12-week Metabolic Meal Plan with all the recipes you need. But you don’t have to follow the meal plan exactly. If you prefer, you make your own meals, following the suggested guidelines. (That’s what I do.)
4. Transformation Tracker booklet
A 30-page booklet for you to track your progress in many different areas including weight, vitality, body shape and much more.
When you order the physical version, all of this comes in a well-designed box where you can keep everything together.
The plan is also available in a downloadable version, which saves you the shipping cost. And if you order the printed pack, you also get the downloadable version for free, instantly. This means you can access the videos online without waiting for everything to arrive in the mail. But it’s pretty good to hold everything in your hands, so if you live in North America where shipping is cheap, I recommend getting the physical copy too.
So here’s what you’re wanting to know from this Metabolic Renewal review:
Does Metabolic Renewal work?
You’ll see testimonials on the live site (click here to see them now), but the exercise element of Metabolic Renewal is based on Jade Teta’s previous Metabolic Prime and Metabolic Aftershock fitness videos. So all of the principles have been tested there.
I’ve been in Facebook groups with the people following those plans, as well as trying them myself. What I can say is that the approach works if you stick to it.
As with Metabolic Aftershock, you’re likely to get the most benefit if you’re either overweight or ‘skinny fat’ (‘skinny fat’ means within the healthy BMI range, but flabby and unfit). If you’re significantly overweight, you’ll probably need to take it slow with the exercise at first, but you can get huge benefits if you persist.
It’s fine to take it slow and do just what you can. Jade Teta stresses this all through the videos. When he says 10 repetitions of something, you can do 5, or just one.
The people who had problems with it were mostly either too disabled to do any exercise at all, or so fit already that the exercises did nothing for them–or so they said. I did find this a little hard to believe! The exercises are graded, and to me, you’d have to be a real gym bunny to feel no benefit at all from the highest grade in the videos.
The lowest grade stretched me at first, but I was pretty unfit. If you have any issues such as knee problems, you can either change out the exercises that don’t suit you, skip some repetitions, or do a lesser version (like stepping instead of jumping).
It’s important to rest when you need to, and don’t do the exercises too often. This is because muscle development actually happens when you rest, not when you exercise.
And of course, check with your doctor before starting any program, especially if you have medical issues.
Who can benefit from Metabolic Renewal
First, this program is especially designed for women. You’ll only be helped by all the references to hormone levels if you’re female (of any age).
It’s designed for women of all ages, including before, during, and after the menopause. There are slightly different plans for these different stages, and some tweaking for different hormonal types of younger women.
Of course, you’ll get most out of Jade Teta’s Metabolic Renewal program if you want to lose fat and tone up your body.
The short bursts of exercise recommended here are perfect for women with busy schedules or those who dislike exercise and get bored quickly.
You may need to tweak a few things. For example, I was flicking through the Metabolic Renewal Roadmap and saw a recommendation for post-menopausal women to walk 4 hours a day! I thought–eek! That may work if you’re retired, but nobody with a job could do it! However, it does include ALL kinds of walking that you do during the day, including cleaning the house or walking to the photocopier at work.
I think it’s better to look at it in terms of steps. The program recommends 5,000 to 20,000 steps a day (around 1 to 4 hours if you did all the steps at once, but nobody does.) If you get a step counter, you can easily track this, and you’ll likely be surprised how much you already do.
Who will not benefit from the program
This plan is not designed for men. So if you’re male, I recommend Metabolic Aftershock.
For women who own Metabolic Aftershock and are doing fine with the exercises and diet plan there, you probably don’t need this. You might want to get it anyway for the hormonal aspect or to motivate yourself to follow the program more exactly, but I think you’ll find it follows the same basic plan, which works very well.
If you already do a lot of exercise, and you like working out at the gym, you may find these exercises unnecessary. You might still want to get it for the diet plan, however.
If you can’t or don’t want to move your body at all, I’d recommend getting The Metabolic Factor instead. With Metabolic Renewal, you do need to be prepared to at least stand and move around a little for the 15 minute sessions.
If you’re currently pregnant and don’t already do a lot of exercise, you can benefit from the other portions of this program, but save the exercise element for after you’ve given birth and are ready to get rid of that baby-belly.

I had a dedicated Metabolic Renewal workout practice for most of 2018 and it did work! I lost weight (a few stubborn pounds of baby weight), sculpted some nice muscles, and felt strong, energized and capable! I followed only close-to the diet, as I already eat pretty close to it, and it still gave me results that I was very pleased with. I got out of my routine when something came up in my personal life, however, I’m going back to it because I never felt better than I had while doing this program regularly.
I’ve been on a low carb diet for months at a time last year and again started up this year. I see others that are on low carb diets and the weight flys off of them while I struggle to drop even 5 lbs! I’m so tired of eating just protein and salads and omelets for weeks on end that I cave after about 3 weeks and give into eating fries or onion rings or pizza or a dessert of some type but I don’t “pig out” on those items…..but I will eat stuff like that for a few days and then feel guilty and go back on the low carb diet but I’m not noticing any weight dropping off like it works for other people. I’d like to lose 25lbs and I’ve gone through menopause….no period for over a year now, almost 2. I never had night sweats and only a few hot flashes where I wasn’t really sure if it was considered a hot flash related to menopause. No sleeping issues….I’m 50 yrs old…..have good health, just a little reduced energy but my work has me on my feet everyday as I’m in the restaurant business. I get “exercise” just being on my feet running around. My only “sluggish” time is when I wake up and start the day. I do have a few issues with brain fog trying to remember things so in my business, I write everything down. I guess I don’t know how this program would help me when I’ve been on the Keto/Low carb diet without much success and I’m pretty active for my age.
Hi Sarah
I can’t tell you why the low carb diet hasn’t worked for you in the past without seeing exactly what you eat, but I am surprised. As you say, it works for other people. Are you snacking on other foods a little bit while you work, maybe?
This program would offer you a different type of exercise, high intensity in short bursts. You might find that this changes things for you, but it will only make a difference if you find time to do the exercise in addition to the walking that you do in your job.
Hope that helps, Rosemary
What happens after the 12 week plan and I have met my goal? Is there a maintenance plan included in the Metebalic Renewal purchase ?
Sure, there is a section on what to do after the 12 weeks, so that you can maintain the good habits you have established during the program.
What is the difference between a low carb diet and the metabolic renewal?
Metabolic Renewal includes a whole series of exercises at different levels to get the hormones working to burn fat – it’s not just a diet.
Hope that helps, Rosemary
Are there many vegetarian options with this diet?
The meal plan with this, as it is presented, doesn’t look great for vegetarians, but you could make some tweaks. For example, counting nuts and beans as proteins instead of where they have them listed as fats or starches. Eggs are included in the proteins list already, if you eat those.
I am 52, pre-menopausal and already exercise almost everyday (weight training, run, walk, kickboxing, step, etc.), and still need to lose more fat and gain muscle. Would this program be something that would work for me and would the exercise portion challenge me?
I don’t see why it shouldn’t work, and I think it would still challenge you. It’s high intensity training and there are three different difficulty levels demonstrated as far as I recall. You can use resistance bands to make it more challenging, and they show somebody doing this.
The diet element is important for losing fat.
Hope that helps

I have celiac disease so I have to be gluten free. Would this diet work for me?
Yes, it’s well suited to a gluten-free diet because of the low carb element.
low carb is not necessarily GF!
Right, and vice versa. Low carb diets are well suited to a gluten-free lifestyle because low carb meal plans are designed without many things that are normally made with wheat like bread, pasta, cakes. But you still need to be careful to avoid gluten grains and gluten in packaged food products and low carb “treats”.
Can you advise/estimate how much postal charges will amount to. I can see the reduced prices for the products but just says plus postage. If it comes from USA will this be expensive? Also once I receive this one off offer will i be subjected to further amounts being taken from my account if I do not respond to e mails or tick boxes to say I do not want further supplies?
Karen, sorry for the delay responding to your comment. I didn’t get a notification the way I usually do.
The postal charges depend on where you live. If you’re outside the USA it is expensive and I’d recommend getting the download only version. But you would see the shipping cost for your address before you paid, anyway, so you could decide then.
Regarding other products, as far as I recall you’re not signed up for anything else unless you specifically add other things to your cart. But as always when you buy things online, be careful before checking or unchecking any boxes (and before leaving them checked or unchecked).
What is the difference between the metabolic price and metabolic renewal programs? I am trying to decide which one I should purchase.
Metabolic Prime focuses almost entirely on exercise and is intended for both men and women. Metabolic Renewal has more about diet, although it has the exercise component too, and it considers the different hormonal needs of women at different stages of life.
Can you have B-12 injections while on this program?
That’s a question for their support, but personally I don’t know of any reason why you shouldn’t.
How does the exercise portion of this program differ from Dr. Jade’s previous Metabolic Afrershock program? I already have that.
The exercise portion is not that different as far as I know. To be honest I haven’t gone though all the videos in Metabolic Renewal because I already have his others. It is the diet and metabolism part that is new here.
I don’t eat meat. Is this still going to work for me? Most programs push meat.
Hi Kimberly
I’d say you’ll be fine if you eat fish and eggs. It’s not totally low carb–there is some starch. But there is an emphasis on protein.
Hope that helps
Rosemary
I need a Hormones Free Plan.
Due to having Cancer reseptors. I have to AVOID anything with Estrogens and Soy.
Do the protien shakes contain soy?
Hi Sherry,
You make the protein shakes, so you would just need to get a protein powder that didn’t contain soy and use that.
Rosemary
Is this a subscription program or can I buy it once and not worry about my credit card being charged 15 or 91 days later because I didn’t call to cancel? I’m so tired of those scams and would just like to get this program and not worry about future charges; I can’t see anywhere that there are recurring charges but wanted to ask those using it.
It’s a one-time payment. They will try to sell you a subscription to another product after, but if you don’t want that, just close the page. Then you will just have paid for this one thing and not be charged again. Also, be sure not to check any boxes for other things while you are checking out.
I have my uterus removed but still have overies in 46 .I also have hypothyroidism and nerve issues in my feet that make it hard to walk for long periods.this has effected my exsersise. It’s very expensive to buy great foods. Will I have to change alot of the foods I buy.I’m not wealthy and I still have to feed others in my house.Will I have to make seprate meals.I know I need to loose the weight to be health
This depends on what you buy now and what your other family members eat. The plan does give recipes for shakes and such that include special foods, but you don’t have to make these. You can use the food list to make meals with regular items like meat, fish, vegetables. Generally it’s a low carb diet.
I would hope that you could make the same meal for all the family and then serve rice or potatoes with it for your other family members but you skip that carb dish yourself. However it depends what they like. If they only eat pizza or processed foods you would need to make something different for yourself. I hope that helps.
Can you drink coffee or tea on this program?
Hi Jane,
As you can see from the photos, I have this as a printed book and DVD. I’ve flicked through the book and I can’t see anywhere that coffee and tea are banned, but I have no way to search, so I can’t guarantee it. He does mention herbal teas being a good thing at one point.
I drink green tea myself, but not coffee – so I wouldn’t remember if coffee is banned (and TBH if tea is banned I’d have ignored it!)
I hope that helps!
I had a complete hysterectomy 2 years ago. I am on Estradiol. Will this program work for me?
In general a hysterectomy in the past (and fully healed) wouldn’t affect the program, as there is an option for post-menopausal women that would apply. However, I’m not medically trained and can’t comment on your medication. You should talk to your doctor about diet and exercise for your individual case, whether there are any restrictions on the exercise you should do, and whether your medication would affect your chances of having a successful weight loss.
I’m kinda worried….I took the quiz and felt several answers applied. I changed the answers and got a totally different type and totally different instructions….like I said I felt several answers apply and I’m afraid I will get the wrong program.
The program contains the plans for all of the types. The quiz just helps you see where you might fit. If you aren’t sure, when you get the program you can look at it in more detail and decide which is best for you. You’ll have them all there.
Hi I am 47 and going through menapause , i am on HRT and have put on 10kgs in 8mths even thou i was still excersising and watching my diet will this program help me to lose the weight even though i am on HRT?
Yes, you should still be able to lose it. It will make a difference what you eat, not only the quantities, and this program with a low carb focus should be good for that. It has specific plans for women going through menopause.
Are Dr Jonny Bowden and Dr Jade Teta working together? If so, is the eating plan for Metabolic Renewal the same as the eating plan for Metabolic Factor? I can’t decide which program to get. I just want to get the program that will help me shed the weight fastest without having to change nearly all the food in my pantry (like the Paleo diet encourages). Is the only difference btw Meta Renewal and Meta Factor the absence of exercise? Thank you.
I don’t think they are working together exactly, although the programs are compatible. There’s a lot more detail about diet in The Metabolic Factor, with specific types of food at certain times. As far as I recall, the diets follow the same principles, but in Metabolic Renewal they are more general guidelines. If you don’t want to change what you eat very much, I’d recommend Metabolic Renewal. However, diet has a big impact on weight loss, so you will need to make some changes.
Could I have a protein shake for breakfast and also one for lunch then the dinner Dr. Teta suggests? Would this work?
Thanks
I guess so, as long as it doesn’t leave you hungry in the afternoon, so you risk going for the wrong kind of snack.
