🍽 "Let food be your medicine"

🩺 General Practitioner & founder of Nieuw-Metabolism - Metabolic Health Clinic.

🍴Helping patients develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle through nutrition.

10/03/2026

Metabolic health plays a central role in long-term wellbeing. The foods we eat can influence blood sugar balance, energy levels, appetite regulation, and overall metabolic function.

Including nutrient-dense whole foods such as eggs, avocado, fatty fish, and leafy greens can support stable blood glucose, provide high-quality protein and healthy fats, and contribute to better metabolic balance. These foods are commonly included in evidence-based approaches to metabolic health, including low-carbohydrate and whole-food nutrition strategies used in metabolic medicine.

For many people experiencing fatigue, low energy, stubborn weight gain, or difficulty maintaining a healthy metabolism, understanding how nutrition affects metabolic function can be an important step toward improving overall health.

At Nieuw-Metabolism in Pretoria, comprehensive metabolic health assessments help patients better understand their metabolism, blood sugar regulation, and nutritional needs. Our GP-led clinic focuses on metabolic care and personalised nutrition strategies designed to support long-term metabolic wellbeing.

If you would like to learn more about your metabolic health, book a consultation to discuss a comprehensive metabolic assessment.

Your metabolism influences far more than just weight.
At Nieuw-Metabolism, we assess how your body processes energy, nutrition, and hormones so you can better understand your health.

Your metabolism is how your body converts food into energy.

When metabolic health is disrupted, it can contribute to conditions such as:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Fatty liver disease
• Obesity
• Chronic fatigue and insulin resistance

Nieuw-Metabolism is a GP-led metabolic health clinic in Pretoria.

We focus on understanding how nutrition, lifestyle, and metabolism interact, using evidence-based medical care and structured dietary guidance.

Our approach may include:
• Comprehensive metabolic assessment
• Medical evaluation and testing
• Personalised nutritional guidance
• Ongoing medical supervision

Nutrition plays an important role in metabolic health.

Dr Lizw van Nieuwkoop has further training through The Nutrition Network, focusing on how dietary strategies may support the management of metabolic conditions.

Dietary approaches such as low-carbohydrate or ketogenic nutrition may be considered where medically appropriate.

A metabolic health assessment may be helpful if you:

• Struggle with persistent weight gain
• Have been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes
• Have high blood pressure or fatty liver disease
• Experience low energy or metabolic symptoms
• Want medical guidance on improving metabolic health

If you would like to better understand your metabolism and how nutrition may support your health, you can schedule a metabolic health assessment at Nieuw-Metabolism in Pretoria.

Here's a fun one 😁 This or that, metabolic health edition 👌🏼

25/02/2026

Metabolic health is no longer just a concern for older adults. Increasing research shows that sedentary behaviour, prolonged screen time, low physical activity levels, and poor nutrition are linked to worsening metabolic and cardiovascular markers in adolescents and young adults.

Insulin resistance, weight gain, elevated blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and early signs of metabolic syndrome are now being seen at younger ages than ever before. Left unaddressed, these risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and heart disease later in life.
Improving metabolic health early makes a measurable difference.

Regular physical activity, reduced screen time, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and professional medical guidance can help restore metabolic balance and reduce long term risk.

If you are concerned about weight changes, fatigue, blood sugar levels, or overall metabolic wellness, a personalised assessment can help identify risk factors and guide appropriate management. Early intervention is always better than late treatment.

Dit kom meer voor by mense wat oorgewig is, tipe 2-diabetes, hoë bloedvette en insulienweerstandigheid.

Dit kan dikwels geen simptome in die begin hê nie.
Maar as dit nie behandel word nie, kan dit vorder na inflammasie (MASH), littekenvorming (sirrose) of selfs lewerkanker.

Wat kan aanleiding gee tot dit?
• Metaboliese disfunksie

• Oorgewig of vetsug.

• Hoë bloedsuiker en
bloedvette.

• Swak dieet en min fisiese
aktiwiteit.

Hoe kan ons dit behandel?
Die eerste stappe sal wees:

• Gewigsbeheer deur dieet
en oefening.

• Bestuur bloedsuiker en
bloedvette.

• Medikasie (waar nodig
en toepaslik).

Dr van Nieuwkoop
en neem die eerste stap na beter gesondheid.

A preventative annual check-up is important because it helps catch health problems early, before they become serious.

Most metabolic conditions like insulin resistance, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and early-stage type 2 diabetes don’t cause obvious symptoms at first. You can feel “fine” while your blood sugar, blood pressure, or inflammation markers are quietly getting worse in the background.

📅 An annual check-up gives your doctor the chance to:

✔️ Pick up early warning signs before they turn into chronic disease.
✔️ Track trends over time (not just a once-off number).
✔️ Identify hidden risks like high visceral fat, prediabetes, or hormonal imbalances.
✔️ Adjust lifestyle or treatment early, when it’s easiest to reverse or improve.
✔️ Personalise your prevention plan based on your family history, weight distribution, stress, sleep, and lab results.

In metabolic health, prevention is everything. The goal isn’t just to treat disease; it’s to stop it from starting.

Physical activity has a powerful impact on your metabolic health, especially when it comes to:

Weight gain
Blood sugar control
Cholesterol levels
Blood pressure

Regular exercise can help improve key metabolic markers, including insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and body composition. Which basically means your body becomes better at doing its job.

When you move your body consistently, it becomes easier to:

Regulate blood sugar Manage fat storage (especially around the belly)
Improve energy levels
Reduce long-term metabolic risk

The best part?
Exercise is safe for most people, cost-effective, and one of the most recommended therapies for long-term metabolic health. Even small, consistent movement can shift your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure in the right direction.

For anyone struggling with weight, fatigue, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome, exercise is part of the solution.

But it needs to be the right type, at the right dose, for your body. Chat to Dr Lize van Nieuwkoop for a personalised plan.

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where the body burns stored fat for fuel instead of glucose (carbs), producing compounds called ketones. It occurs when carb intake is very low, forcing the liver to convert fat into ketones for energy. It is commonly used for weight loss and therapeutic diets.

If you are interested in a ketogenic diet, contact Dr Lize van Nieuwkoop for expert guidance.
