Building Health from the Ground Up: Lessons from the MetFix Foundations Seminar

In August, Cynergy Training’s founder, Cynthia Brown, and Coach Charlene Pifer joined the MetFix Foundations seminar in Boston — a hands-on learning experience focused on how nutrition, metabolism, and lifestyle choices can help prevent or even reverse chronic disease. As a founding MetFix affiliate, Cynergy is excited to share what they learned and bring these life-changing tools back to our community.

Why MetFix Matters

MetFix is guided by one core belief: when we understand how metabolism truly works, we can counteract the chronic disease epidemics caused by processed foods, inflammation, and poor nutrition. This mission aligns directly with Cynergy’s vision — supporting lasting health through fitness, nutrition, mindset, and community.

Key Insights From the Seminar

• We’ve been misled about food – much of what we think is “healthy” has been shaped by industry, not science
• Metabolic flexibility is essential – our bodies are designed to burn fat for fuel, but the modern diet forces us to rely on sugar
• High fat, moderate protein, low carb – this macronutrient profile supports cellular repair, hormonal balance, and energy clarity
• Whole Foods > Packaged Goods – our ancestors didn’t eat from boxes
• Health isn’t about weight loss – it’s about reducing inflammation, improving energy, and restoring metabolic function
• This knowledge is empowering – it gives people control back over their biology

Cynthia’s Reflection

“This course gave us deeper clarity into what Cynergy MetFix can offer. It’s not just learning — it’s acquiring tools to support the people who trust us. Our mission and MetFix’s mission are aligned: educate, empower, and drive change.”

Charlene’s Call to Action

“The current food environment — heavy in sugar, ultra-processed foods, and seed oils — is fueling obesity and disease. MetFix’s approach (high fat, moderate protein, low carb) offers a concrete path forward. I’m energized by the diverse participants — coaches, first responders, cancer researchers, and even a school superintendent. Each of us has the ability to bring these lessons into our communities where change is needed most.”
