Jade,
Functional Health Practitioner,
Like many women, Jade spent years dealing with acne, digestive issues, and hormone imbalances, only to be told everything was "normal." When she lost her period and began experiencing autoimmune-related symptoms, she knew something deeper was going on. This led her to functional nutrition, where she learned how to address root causes like gut health, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar balance, and hormone signaling.
Now as a Functional Nutritionist, she uses evidence-based functional lab testing along with personalized nutrition, lifestyle support, and targeted supplementation to help women overcome hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and skin concerns with sustainable, root-cause solutions.

Micaela Riley
I created Be Balanced because I wish something like it existed when I was struggling with my own symptoms. For years, I saw OBGYNs, endocrinologists, and gastrointestinal doctors—the works. But I was dismissed every single time with responses like, "This is just part of being a woman," "All your labs are normal," or the classic, "You just need to eat less and work out more."
None of it helped, and pushing myself harder in the gym only made things worse. Finally, I found functional medicine, did the right lab testing, and got the answers I needed: high cortisol, Hashimoto’s, PCOS, insulin resistance, and gut issues—all at once. Once I understood how everything was connected, I finally knew how to properly support my body. Things improved, and now I’m on a mission to help you do the same.

"My journey has been truly transformative. I've learned how to properly fuel my body, significantly reduce my stress and cortisol levels, and heal my gut from the inside out. Micaela helped me trust the process and believe in my body's incredible ability to heal. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work with her and look forward to continuing this journey together!"
"If you've exhausted your options and are looking to make a REAL change, this is your sign. Working with Micaela has absolutely changed my everyday life. For years, I was in and out of doctors' offices, searching for answers. Test after test, all my labs came back 'normal.' This personalized approach transformed my health. I'm now on a maintenance routine, down 40 pounds, and feeling the best I've ever felt."
"I fully remitted my Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's in just 3 months! I started working with Micaela 10 months after stopping hormonal birth control with a slew of symptoms. From January to now, I have had the opportunity to take the Dutch test, a GI Map, and a Food Sensitivity Test. In those 3 months, I have lost 6 pounds and so much inflammation — but most excitingly, I have fully remitted my conditions in just 3 months!"
"I am grateful, thankful and hopeful. I was at a roadblock with my health. I was discouraged, frustrated, hopeless and just sad with how I felt on a day-to-day basis. She has shown me how to live a balanced lifestyle, the importance of getting enough macronutrients and minimizing stress. I am grateful, thankful and more hopeful for the years ahead. I would recommend Micaela to anyone who needs guidance, has been struggling with their health or just doesn't know where to start."
"I started working with Micaela because I wanted to understand why I was experiencing stubborn symptoms that wouldn't go away. I tried so many things and finally found answers by taking the DUTCH test and meeting with Micaela to go over the results. I now feel encouraged and empowered to take control of my symptoms by following Micaela's protocol. Thank you!"
"With cystic acne, a missing period, and a slew of other hormone related issues, I attempted to DIY my healing for over a year. My attempts got me nowhere. Getting proper testing and a plan created by someone with Micaela's knowledge lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Since starting with Micaela, I am getting my period regularly. My skin is clear. My digestion is super regular. My face is way less puffy. The list goes on!"
