How to Take the Metabolic Protocol

Follow this daily schedule for optimal results. Consistency is key — take your formulas at the same times each day.

☀️
Step 1 · First Thing in the Morning

Lemon-Chia Water

Start your day with warm water, one whole lemon squeezed in, and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds. Steep for 15 minutes, then drink. Chia expands with water and lemon supports healthy digestion, which many people find helps them feel satisfied before their first meal. A whole fresh lemon is ideal, but 100% lemon juice is fine as a substitute.

Lemon-chia water in the morning only. In the afternoon before your Metabolic Boost PM, use plain chia water (no lemon).
💊
Step 2 · With Breakfast

Metabolic Core AM — 3 Capsules

Take 3 capsules of Metabolic Core AM with your breakfast meal. This is your primary metabolic support — berberine, forskolin, L-carnitine, and 6 additional synergistic compounds studied for healthy blood sugar and fat metabolism.

3 capsules with breakfast. Take with food to maximize absorption and minimize any GI sensitivity from berberine.
🥤
Throughout the Day

Protein Shakes — 30g Each

Aim for 3 protein shakes throughout the day (morning, noon, and evening) at 30g protein each for a total of 90g daily. This preserves lean muscle mass during weight loss and supports satiety between meals. Supplement with small portions of lean meat and salad.

Important: If you have kidney disease or a history of renal impairment, consult your medical provider before increasing your protein intake. High protein consumption may not be appropriate for individuals with compromised kidney function.
🔥
Step 4 · With Lunch (Phase 3 Only)

Metabolic Ignite — 2 Capsules (Advanced) · 3 Capsules (Complete)

Once you've successfully completed Phases 1 and 2, you may advance to Phase 3 by adding Metabolic Ignite at lunch. This midday thermogenic formula supports energy expenditure during your most metabolically active hours and healthy starch metabolism from the lunch meal through green tea EGCG, L-Carnitine, White Kidney Bean, Capsimax®, and Paradoxine®. Also available in a caffeine-free version.

1 capsule with lunch — must be taken WITH food (White Kidney Bean requires a starch substrate to work). Caffeine version must NOT be taken after 2 PM to prevent sleep disruption.
🌤️
Step 5 · 3:00 – 5:00 PM

Metabolic Boost PM — 2 Capsules

Start with your afternoon chia water (warm water and 1 teaspoon chia seeds — steeped 15 minutes; no lemon needed). Then take your Metabolic Boost PM between 3:00 and 5:00 PM with a small snack containing fat (yogurt, nuts, avocado). This supports appetite balance through the evening when cravings are strongest. Saffron, chromium, and adaptogenic herbs work together to support healthy hunger signals and metabolic function.

Step 1: Drink your afternoon chia water (no lemon).
Step 2: 2 capsules Metabolic Boost PM. Always take with a small fat-containing snack for optimal absorption.

A Simple Ritual Before You Take a Single Capsule

This simple daily ritual supports a feeling of fullness through two mechanisms: fiber and water volume from chia seed expansion, and digestive support from whole lemon.

1

Warm Water

Start with a glass of warm (not hot) water

2

Whole Lemon

Squeeze one whole fresh lemon into the water (100% lemon juice is fine too)

3

Chia Seeds

Add 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

4

Steep & Drink

Let it steep 15 minutes, then drink. Use in the morning only. In the afternoon, use plain chia water (no lemon) before your Metabolic Boost PM.

Three Formulas. One System.

Each product targets different metabolic pathways at different times of day. Customers start with Phase 1 (foundation dosing of Core + Boost), advance to Phase 2 (increased dosing) after Week 4, then advance to Phase 3 by adding Metabolic Ignite at lunch.

Finished a GLP-1 Program?
Herbal Support for the Road Ahead.

Prescription GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are powerful tools. Many people reach their goal and then, together with their provider, decide to stop. What comes next is a common question.

N&O LLC's Metabolic Weight Management Protocol offers research-based botanical support for appetite balance, blood sugar, and metabolism — a daily structure for people who want to keep healthy habits going after their program ends. It is not a medication and does not replace one; it is herbal support to use alongside the plan you make with your provider.

Herbs are for prevention and terrain support. Conventional medicine is for when it's medically necessary. They are not enemies — they are partners.

— Dr. Paulette Y. Jones, DNP-L, RN

Research-Based Botanicals

Our protocol supports appetite balance, healthy blood sugar, fat metabolism, and thermogenesis through 16 botanical compounds, each at a dose used in published research.

A Fraction of the Cost

Our herbal protocol provides ongoing metabolic support at a price that doesn't force you to choose between your health and your budget, with subscription pricing from $60 a month.

Gentle on the Stomach

Every formula is timed with food and fat for absorption and comfort, and the phased approach lets you start gently and build.

Where Do I Start?

Coming off a GLP-1 injection? Start with Phase 2 — the advanced formula. Your body is already accustomed to structured daily support. Phase 2 provides fuller herbal support for appetite balance and metabolism as you settle into your new routine.

New to metabolic support? Start with Phase 1 — the foundation formula. This allows your body to adjust gradually, establishes your metabolic baseline, and assesses your tolerance before advancing.

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any prescription medication. N&O LLC's Metabolic Protocol is not a replacement for prescribed medical treatment and is not intended to produce the effects of any medication. It is a research-based herbal option to use with your provider's guidance.
