In Hollywood, the stars whisper his name: Wolf Funfack, a country doctor from the Upper Bavarian Isen, Germany, has developed a weight loss program with global success.

The fact that the rich, beautiful and famous up in the Hollywood Hills recently whisper  the name Isen, is not the fact that this small market town exudes a great deal of glamour in the rolling hills of Upper Bavaria – except that in this area the series “Somehow and Anyway” was filmed.

Wolf Funfack is a country doctor in Upper Bavaria. Today there stands the headquarters of Metabolic Balance, a worldwide organization.

On the red carpet, this program is endorsed by internationally renowned actresses like Jennifer Aniston and Kate Winslet and regional celebrities such as Sonja Kirchberger and Katerina Jacob as their doctrine of salvation. It’s called ” Metabolic Balance” and seems to live up to its name.

Wolf Funfack decided almost exactly ten years ago on this program to change the metabolism in the body. Many general practitioners and medical practitioners in Germany display the subtle blue-green Metabolic Balance logo, which points out that they cooperate with Funfack.

In 30 countries, the program is now widespread. “I can sometimes even not believe how fast it all goes,” says Wolf Funfack who has finally given up his work in the Internal Medicine practice in Isen two and a half years ago, because the people of the world struggling with their weight needed him – and not only the patients in Isental.

The people who slim down with Doctor Funfack want to change their stature – the 5000-strong town Isen has quietly changed with the rise of the fame of their country doctor in the past few years.  The Metabolic Balance headquarters was built in Isen two years ago, a big building but harmonious stone-wood construction, built according to geomantic principles.”The soul of this special force place thereby come to fruition,” says Funfack. Energy is certainly needed here: the house is the central server that calculates your personal computer nutrition program for all Metabolic Customers customers worldwide.

What makes the place Isen still a bit different from the neighboring villages are the restaurants and hotels. In local beer gardens,  one can can order the vegetables by weight, for example. A restaurant  in the village center touts its own Metabolic Balance menu. The B & Bs and Inns are usually completely booked when they are running one of Funfack’s conference center nutrition seminars.

The principle of this metabolic program goes something like this: The consultant creates a diet plan that is based on 36 blood values ​​of the individual. 80,000 to 100,000 plans are produced per year, which are created in the data center in Isen. Low carbohydrate, high protein, lots of vegetables are the main ingredients. After two days of preparation, the culinary highlight is a vegetable soup, and then begin two weeks strict conversion – without alcohol and sweets with three protein-rich meals. Noodles or rice is prohibited, and the portions are small.

In the third phase, the maintenance phase, one may also test again other foods,” says Funfack, who  probably can recite even in deep sleep the other principles: “Three meals a day with at least five hours break, no snacks, do not eat after 9pm. The food may contain only one type of protein. ”

A native of Erlanger, Funfack had started in his doctoral work at the beginning of the seventies with “obesity in infancy and early childhood.” For ten years he worked in the Moabit Hospital in Berlin, where he stated: “The children who are arrived, were getting fatter. ” In 1983, he found himself by chance in the form of a practice display by Isen, where he soon with specially tailored nutritional advice rather casually moved his heavy patients to. Funfack sought the solution in the blood values, the plans he wrote by hand, the mouth-to-mouth propaganda was in full swing. “When I eventually had to write three to four schedules per day, I started to work professionally with a software company,” said Funfack.

Meanwhile, his wife directs the company, there are countless books of Metabolic Balance for beginners, professionals, diabetic to the mental and metabolic reference. 3500 consultants were trained in its Isen Academy in recent years,and 2000 are currently most active. The courses are always full, even though the 17-day training for dietitians costs about 2500 Euro, additional courses separately.

The office of the country doctor who was so successful behind the seven hills of Isentals is worth seeing. Beside one hand is a milky-gray rock crystal on the desk (“It makes me feel good”), the view from the porthole window of the house on geomantic helical pattern in the garden, the so-called sanctuary should ground the boss. But on the dresser opposite attracts a small pennant, an American flag the Chamber of Commerce of California. “The was given to me, because I am now also a member of the Chamber of Commerce there,” says Doctor Funfack.

Company offshoots in Europe and South Africa, China and Russia have been around longer. For a year, the company from the district of Erding is largely boarded in San Diego. “America is a big market for us, the people there are really necessary,” says Funfack. And then he can not help but smile.
