I’m Lori Balue, founder of Aging Adventurously™ and a Metabolic Restoration Practitioner. I lost 100 pounds after 50 and reclaimed my health.
Today, I help women over 50 restore their metabolism and lose weight naturally using functional diagnostic testing and my Metabolic Restoration Protocol™—so they can regain energy, rebuild strength, and live what I call Aging Adventurously™.
About Lori Balue
Aging Adventurously™ Founder • Metabolic Restoration Practitioner • Former Obesity Survivor
I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley loving frosted animal cookies, donut-truck snacks, ice cream, and everything sweet.
By my early teenage years I was already close to 200 pounds—exhausted, depressed, and hiding in baggy clothes, depressed and already uncomfortable in my body.
For decades I bounced from diet to diet:
low-fat, low-calorie, vegetarian, HCG, Paleo…
Lose the weight.
Gain it back.
Start again.
Meanwhile, I battled asthma, allergies, PCOS, and depression while raising three children and feeling trapped in a body that didn’t feel like mine.
The Turning Point
The turning point came when I began to realize something deeper:
It wasn’t about willpower.
It wasn’t about trying harder.
It was about what was happening in my metabolism.
Discovering the Root Causes
That realization led me into functional nutrition training, where I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).
Through functional testing, I began to understand what my body had been trying to tell me for years.
I discovered underlying patterns—food sensitivities, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction—that had been keeping me stuck.
Over time, I lost 100 pounds naturally and permanently.
But more importantly, I restored my metabolism.
What I Do Now
Today, I help women over 50 do the same.
Using functional diagnostic testing and my Metabolic Restoration Protocol™, I work with women to uncover the root causes of fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, and declining health.
Because symptoms don’t tell the full story.
When we look deeper—at hormones, gut health, mineral balance, and metabolic patterns—we can finally understand what the body needs to function properly.
My Mission
Most women are told their symptoms are just part of aging.
But what I’ve seen—both in my own experience and in working with clients—is this:
The difference isn’t age.
It’s metabolism.
When metabolism is supported, the body responds.
Energy improves.
Weight begins to normalize.
Strength returns.
Why This Work Is Personal
Obesity and diabetes took both my father and one sister. Another sister was taken by cancer.
This work is personal.
This is generational.
This is legacy.
I’ve seen what happens when metabolic health is ignored or misunderstood—and what becomes possible when it’s restored.
What’s Possible
At 63, I live without disease or medications. I live with strength, energy, and endurance.
I hike, stay active, and continue to build a life that once felt out of reach.
This is what I call Aging Adventurously™—
living with strength, energy, and independence in the years that matter most.
My Promise to You
I bring the same determination and resilience that carried me through decades of struggle and into lasting health.
If I was able to overcome obesity, prediabetes, inflammation, and chronic symptoms—
Then change is possible for you too.
You don’t need to keep guessing.
You need the right data, the right strategy, and the right support.
And together, we can help you step into the most vibrant chapter of your life—
Aging Adventurously™
Your health is your wealth.
Your body wants to heal.
And it’s never too late to become beautiful, strong, and adventurous again.
