The Hormone Balance Solution™
Come and spend six months with me and my team to learn how you can
take charge of your health and empower yourself so you can feel better than you have in years – both mentally and physically.
“It changed my life for the better. Thank you.”
What is The Hormone Balance Solution?
The HBS is a 6 month comprehensive hormonal health program for busy women who want to get answers to their health issues once and for all so they can kick the weight gain, moodiness, gut problems, skin issues, period problems, fatigue, overwhelm, insomnia, hair/eyebrow loss, and other symptoms in order to get back to the woman they once were.
The HBS is a 10 week system, (within a 6 month program) designed to teach you how to look after your body and educate you on topics you must know about in order to get hormonal balance – and keep it long-term.
This all-in-one hormone health-restoring program includes a DUTCH hormone test, a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test, and a GI Map gut test. These are functional health tests that are more in-depth than anything your allopathic doctor will ever run for you. And – when we run these tests all together side by side – we get a trifecta of information allowing us to develop foolproof customised protocols that get our ladies results.
We also look at your blood work to round out your picture and leave no stone unturned in our quest to dive deep into your case and get you answers once and for all.
How do I know if I need the Hormone Balance Solution?
✓ Heavy, irregular, or painful periods
✓ PMS (cramping, water retention, tender breasts, mood swings)
✓ Fibrocystic breasts
✓ Ovarian cysts
✓ Fertility issues
✓ Debilitating fatigue that leaves you unable to do those things you most desire to
✓ Hair loss and thinning hair
✓ Osteoporosis (weak, brittle bones)
✓ Uncontrollable irritability or rage
✓ Vaginal dryness (but you’re lacking a sex drive in the first place!)
✓ Mood swings, anxiety and/or depression
✓ Bloating, indigestion and other digestive issues
✓ Constipation and/or diarrhea
✓ Acne during or just before menstruation or other skin issues
✓ Cold hands and feet, constipation and other sluggish-thyroid symptoms
✓ Hot flashes and night sweats
✓ Weepiness and crying spells
If you have any of these above symptoms then you’re in the right place. My team and I can help you.
And when you work with us inside The HBS you get two brains across your case – not just one. This is unheard of in a hybrid program such as this. Usually you will only be allocated one health practitioner on your case. But in The HBS both Michelle and Tara talk about your case, review it together, and come up with the best possible protocols for you based on their 20 years of combined experience in women’s health.
It's time for you to get back into balance and back to feeling like yourself again.
So, if you’re ready to make sustainable changes that actually stick then you've found your biggest cheerleaders and support system in The Hormone Balance Solution.
Meet The Team
Hi, I'm Tara Thorne.
Your Functional Nutritionist and Women’s Health Expert.
My journey to healthful living started in 2008 after I suffered severe anxiety attacks.
But in 2015, I came face to face with HPA axis dysfunction, (also known as “adrenal fatigue”). I wasn’t really all that surprised as I had just come out of two years of various emotional and physical stressors.
On top of this, I was working for myself, finishing up school, working on building up my new business, all whilst being a mummy to a 3 year old and a not-even-one-year-old.
I ended up on an antidepressant, (allopathic docs’ favourite catch-all “solution”) temporarily, but I was able to go off these meds within a couple of months and finally seek the help of an experienced functional health practitioner.


I read books, searched reputable websites and talked to Professors, Naturopaths, and Nutritionists about their recommendations for a woman in my situation.
Thankfully I came out the other end of all this with a very clear understanding about adrenal dysfunction and multiple hormone imbalances, as well as exactly what I needed to do – and continue to do to this day!
This is now my mission and passion: optimizing women’s health and hormonal balance.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT until you have an extreme case of adrenal dysfunction or multiple coinciding hormone imbalances to seek help – like I did.
Listen mama, I see you. And I can confidently tell you that there’s no need to ‘go it alone’ anymore, trying to figure out how to fix your complex hormonal systems that are constantly cross-talking to one another.
With the many years of study and clinical experience I have, and my deep passion for helping women just like YOU, I couldn’t be more excited to help expertly guide, support and cheer you on in your health journey.
Hello, I'm Michelle Robinson.
Functional Medical Practitioner
Michelle is a Functional Medicine Practitioner certified in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and Breath work and a Mindset coach.
Michelle was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in her mid-30s, which sent her into early menopause at 36. Michelle has over 12 years of experience supporting clients to get to the underlying causes of their symptoms and health issues, and supports women with physical,
mental and emotional imbalances so they can combat hormonal burnout, reduce debilitating symptoms, rebuild resilience, and regain their energy.
Michelle brings incredible knowledge to The HBS group and we're so lucky to have her as part of the team!


From inside The HBS Community…
Here's what you get when you join the HBS:

























26 weeks (6 months) spent with Tara and Michelle inside the program. This gives us ample time to dive deep into your case, watch how you respond to our protocols, tweak things if needed, continuously ask you questions and get feedback from you which guides us, redirect you when needed, support and encourage you and also educate you about your body so you can leave The HBS feeling confident you know what to do for the rest of your life to support your body and keep it healthy. You didn’t get to where you are today, (symptom-wise) overnight. Likewise, there’s no overnight fix. This is why we’ve made this program half a year in length to give you time to undo damage and rebalance body systems that desperately need it.























Four private one-on-one consultations with Tara or Michelle (done via Zoom – audio only), These consultations are completely private and give you time to ask all your questions, get clarification on your protocols and testing, and give us time to ask you questions so we can ensure we’re on the right track with our protocols for you and to encourage and support you in your healing journey, (more info in the FAQs).























Bi-weekly group coaching calls over Zoom where you can talk to Tara and Michelle face-to-face about your health, your test results, the custom protocols we’ve developed for you and where you can also get support, motivation and encouragement plus get all your questions answered. The calls are at appropriate times for ladies in North America, Australia, as well as the UK, so nobody misses out. They are all recorded for you to watch later, too either as videos or as audio files (like a podcast).























Private Facebook community full of other HBS members – this is where you can ask as many questions as you like for the duration of the program and also seek support. Tara and her team are completely accessible to you in this group so you will never have a question or query go unanswered.























A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test – this is one of the most crucial tests you must do in order to balance your hormones, (if you don't get on top of your minerals and metals you may NEVER see hormonal balance). You do this in the comfort of your own home.























A DUTCH Complete hormone test – the gold standard of hormone testing in the industry and more comprehensive than blood. We send this to you and you do this in the comfort of your own home.























GI Map stool test – the most comprehensive stool test on the market. – We send this to you and you do this in the comfort of your own home.























Analysis of blood test results (if you already have them available to you) – we love looking at blood work as it gives us SO much valuable information about your body and why it’s behaving the way it is. Looking at your blood results allows us to dive even deeper into your specific health case. If you don’t have blood test results currently we help point you in the right direction as to where to get them done and what to ask for, (more info in the FAQs below).























A 10 week system (within the 6 month program) designed to teach you how to look after your body and educate you on topics you must know about in order to get hormonal balance and keep it, long-term. – During the first five weeks of The HBS we open up modules, (week by week to prevent overwhelm), giving you PDF – as well as audio resources – so you can choose how you learn and digest information in The HBS. In these first five weeks we lay the foundations for your healing and guide you on diet, blood sugar management, detoxification, sleep, nervous system and stress management, gut health, and circadian rhythms. Then, weeks six through ten open up week by week again with PDF and audio resources. During these five weeks we educate you about how to keep your thyroid and adrenals healthy, about estrogen levels and estrogen metabolism, perimenopause, boundaries and mindset. After these first 10 weeks and for the remainder of the program, we work on cementing what you’ve learned, implementing and tweaking your individual protocols, and keeping you on track to get you the results you seek. The HBS is an education because education = empowerment. You will leave The HBS knowing everything you need to in order to keep yourself healthy long-term.























Weekly emails for the first 11 weeks and then a further 5 emails for the rest of the program. – These emails are designed to help you stay focused, on track and remind you about where you're supposed to be at in the program, what you're supposed to be doing, and where you're going.























31 educational health resources that are yours to keep forever – inside The HBS portal we give you 31 resources that are available to you to download and keep forever and refer back to when you need a refresher about what you need to be thinking about to keep your hormonal health on track long-term.























Tons of additional downloadable health content resources – to give you even more support on your healing journey. We may point you toward these guides if you need specific support in one area such as increasing your protein, banishing your sugar cravings, and more.























7 of Tara's most requested e-books including her PMS Handbook, Healthy Desserts Recipe Book, Healthy Gut Guide, Summer Mocktails, and more.























4 x 7 day meal plans for each HBS diet type, (we offer 4 different diet types depending on your personal health issues) complete with recipes for all the different meals in the plans, (a total of 84 recipes are in these meal plans).























An additional 204+ gluten-free, mostly dairy-free, anti-inflammatory recipes, which you’re going to love so you can have easy meals planned that align with the HBS food guidelines you’re following.























Access to group tapping sessions with a Master Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner and the option to get a personalized tapping script at a discounted price if you so choose. PLUS, pre-recorded tapping videos by a master tapping expert that focus on forgiveness and stress and overwhelm, because you'll never heal in a stressed-out state. EFT is an emotional freedom technique that helps you dig deeper and tackle those emotional issues that are holding your health back.























Customized supplement protocols based on your test results and current health symptoms, created just for you. PLUS a recorded video explanation of all of your test results and blood work – a total of 4 videos which are yours to keep and refer back to forever. We explain things in detail so you’re never left wondering what a marker means on your results or what your testing reflects in terms of the symptoms you’re experiencing. Basically – we give you answers that you’ve likely never been given before.























Pilates workout focused on increasing the core connection (deep abdominals and pelvic floor specifically) created by Ky Russell, Balanced Body Master Pilates Instructor, Mindful Fitness Researcher, Educator, and Trainer.























6 additional workout videos by Gina Roof, Nutrition & Wellness Health Coach of Simply Balanced with Gina, and fitness instructor.























Masterclass series of 7 interviews with Tara and other health professionals in the field on topics such as hormones and the DUTCH test, perimenopause, period health, and so much more.























8 guided meditations as well as 4 breathwork guides and sound bathing recordings plus other music, affirmations, and meditation suggestions on specific apps and Spotify – We give you tools to help you calm your nervous system because without a calm nervous system you will never be able to achieve hormonal balance.























Tara’s recommended reading, recommended products, and recommended viewing – which are constantly getting added to as she finds new and amazing products that may help your healing.
Please note, The Hormone Balance Solution program is NOT for you if:
You expect to feel better in a few weeks when it's taken you your entire LIFE to get to the symptomatic place you're at today.
You're unmotivated to change some of the ways you've been living your life to date.
You’re afraid of taking 100% responsibility for your health and expect Michelle and I to wave a magic wand and fix you.
You’re negative, skeptical, and “expect” the program to fail you.
You complain and blame others frequently or you look for excuses a lot.
If you are any of the above then this program will not be a good fit so please do not apply.

FAQs
Because I know you've got questions about the HBS. So, I've got answers.
Once I’m finished my time in The HBS is my health “done”? Will I be “healed”?
Please remember, it took you your whole life to get to where you are today in terms of your health, so it can take time to get back to optimal health. As I once heard someone say: you don’t walk 10 miles into the woods to walk out in 5. You have to be realistic.
Doing health properly takes time, and that’s why The HBS is a 6 month program.
Everyone heals at a different rate depending on what you’re healing from and the effort you put in.
And it’s vitally important to know that Michelle and I don’t heal you. YOU heal you. We give you the best tools, tips, advice, and protocols in the business, but at the end of the day it’s up to you to truly listen to what we tell you and do the work.
If you wish to stay on after the 6 month time period you can! That’s what The HBS membership is for: to allow you to stick around inside the program for as long as you like, paying month to month, (more on that below).
Health is a forever journey and you will never be “done”. Just like you take your car in for a service yearly. I believe everyone should take their bodies to a functional health practitioner at least once yearly for a “tune up” (by doing functional testing and getting customised supplement plans). But there’s no doubt you can feel so much better than you do today – and sustain this long-term – even after a few short weeks inside The HBS.
When does the program start? Is there a “start date”?
There is no “start” date for The HBS because we accept a limited number of women into The HBS on a monthly basis.
Your time in the program starts once you’ve paid. The reason for this is that we have to lay the groundwork BEFORE we get your tests back so that the supplements we start you on, according to your test results, “stick”.
The first weeks in the program – whilst we await your test results – we focus on the right diet type for you, blood sugar balance, sleep, nervous system work, detoxification, and more. These lay the foundation and if you don’t do these things first then the testing protocols won’t work as efficiently.
Once you’re all signed up you’ll receive the first week’s resources with all the pertinent forms and information you need to get started. Plus, you’ll get immediate access to the private Facebook group and coaching calls where Tara and Michelle are waiting to support you and answer all of your questions.
What do the one-on-one consultations look like?
You get 4 consultations throughout your 6 months inside The HBS. This is what they look like:
- The first consultation is done over Zoom (audio only) with either Tara or Michelle. This is a 45 minute information gathering session. It’s a chance for us to gather as much information about you as possible by talking with you and going through the online intake form you would have filled out for us prior to this consultation. This initial session will happen ideally within the first 2 weeks of the program.
- The second consultation occurs around week 10 of the program and this is a 30 min audio consultation with Tara or Michelle and is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about your protocols and test results and an opportunity for us to guide you / tweak anything we may need to tweak, and ensure you’re confident about the next steps in your healing journey. We can run through all your testing during this consultation so you completely understand what it all means and how it relates to your specific health symptoms.
- You’re invited to set up your third consultation on week 14 of the program and this is also a 30 min audio consultation with Tara or Michelle. This is another chance to get more of your questions answered and for us to ensure that you’re motivated and confident about the direction you need to take in the coming months to continue your health journey.
- You’re invited to set up your fourth and final consultation on week 22 – a few weeks before your final week of the program.
Do I really get good in-depth support in a group program?
The HBS isn’t so much a “group” program as it is a “hybrid” program. What we mean by this is; you have a community of ladies in the Facebook group and you get many of you questions answered in here by Michelle and I and you also have frequently group coaching calls but you also have many private one on one consultations – it’s not purely a group program.
Some think that because The HBS is a hybrid program they won't get the support they need, but this couldn't be further from the truth.
In The HBS you get a huge amount of support between the one on one consultations, the Facebook group, and the group coaching calls. There is nothing you would get, support-wise, working with us one on one that you won't get inside The HBS. In fact, we find that the community support inside The HBS of other ladies is invaluable to women and helps them succeed in their healing journey.
What is a "hybrid" program?
A hybrid program is a combination of one on one private consultations + group support via the private HBS Facebook community, (where you get the support of both me and my team as well as other ladies in the program who are going through the same things you are) and the group Zoom calls.
Do I need Facebook to participate in The HBS?
The private Facebook group is filled with incredible support, inspiration, and guidance and it’s the best place to get quick answers to questions that may pop up for you whilst you’re in the program as we don’t do private email support.
Will I have to go on a strict diet?
If we think you need more support by way of a low FODMAP or low oxalate diet we can help you with this too. We also give you recipes and meal plans to inspire and make food choices easier for you – for every diet type.
I'm vegan/vegetarian - is this program right for me?
In my experience, many women do well when they incorporate some animal protein in their diet, especially when it comes to hormone balancing. (Our bodies can only work with the building blocks we give it – and this is especially true of our hormones!)
Vegetarians & vegans – you are of course welcome to join. I fully respect your choices, however, please know I can’t further customize a vegan or vegetarian meal plan but you’re welcome to adapt the meal plans to your own preferences.
I'm breastfeeding. Should I join the program?
What is the GI Map test?
What is the HTMA test?
Can I get other tests done if we think something else is required?
What if I want to re-test? How can I do that after my 4 months is up inside The HBS?
That’s where The HBS monthly membership comes into play!
If you want to continue your healing journey past the 6 months in the program you can join the membership. This is when you pay month to month and are able to stick around and gain continued access to everything, including retest packages that aren’t available outside The HBS. You can purchase these retest packages inside the membership if/when you’re ready.
Do I have to purchase supplements?
We do recommend supplements for you after you’ve completed your testing. It’s hard to make shifts in your health by diet alone. Cost of supplements depends on what health issues we have to work on together and what your test results show.
Please be prepared to make an investment in supplements, (and we give you discounts wherever we can) but also know this: we will give you the best case scenario of supplements we suggest you take but we can prioritise them for you so you can pick and choose if budget is a concern. We will always do our best to limit the cost where we can. Nutraceutical support however, is a crucial part of your healing.
We lay out exactly what we suggest including dose, brand, and where to purchase from. You're free to purchase whatever you want, (all or none or just some) and from wherever you'd like.
Do you read my blood work inside The Hormone Balance Solution?
Do you give me a requisition to go and do blood work?
If your doctor won’t play ball here we give you suggestions for private labs where you can get blood work done.
Do I HAVE to have blood work done already before I join The HBS?
In fact, we like to see old bloods as well as newer ones – this gives us the trends of your blood work.
But if you don’t have any when you join that’s totally fine. You can get bloods run after you join the program and whenever your results come in we will do a blood work overview for you.
I’m busy (like really busy), but I know I NEED THIS PROGRAM - so how am I going to find the time to fit this all in?
That’s why all the meal plans and recipes I provide and meal planning/prep tips are as simple as can be – without compromising on flavour, of course.
I also try to make my meals really family-friendly. For example, most of the recipes are ones that I cook for my own family, and often use in my weekly meal rotations at home, so you won’t be slaving away in the kitchen cooking multiple meals for multiple mouths.
But, I won’t lie… planning ahead is a MUST if you want to keep yourself (and your family) fed healthfully, and that’s why I strongly suggest meal planning each week.
At the end of the day, my question to you is this: how can you afford to NOT find the time for your health?
Do you have a payment plan option?
Can I do The HBS if I don’t live in Australia?
What’s your refund policy?
Refund requests will be considered on a case by case basis and are not guaranteed.
I'M READY TO PUT MYSELF FIRST!
Don’t continue to play guessing games with your health. It’s time to test and not guess and finally get answers.
