The Hormone Balance Solution™
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 Hormone Balance Solution is a 6 month comprehensive hormonal health program for women in their 40’s – give or take a few years – who want to get solid answers to their hormonal health issues once and for all so they can kick the weight gain, belly fat, moodiness, skin issues, fatigue, insomnia, hair/eyebrow loss, hot flashes, low libido, and other symptoms in order to get back to the woman they once were.
The HBS is 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 Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test and a GI Map gut test. These are functional tests that are more in-depth than anything your allopathic doctor will ever run for you. When we run these tests together – we get a goldmine 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.
HBS member, Casey shares the dramatic improvements she's acheived from her work inside of the program.
“I already feel tremendously better. Before, I felt desperate – out of control at the beginning. I have energy now to get through the day, which is unbelievable – a huge improvement! I feel like a new person, and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. I can’t thank you enough.”

“My anxiety is almost gone. I can speak in public again. My fatigue is substantially better. My patience with my children and husband unbelievably better. My hair is barely coming in grey anymore and I have all new hair growth. I can swallow pills again without gagging. No more panic attacks. I feel like my thyroid has improved. My peri-menopause symptoms have improved. My husband tells people how I am back to my old self. I feel like I am better than my old self. You all have been a blessing. Thank you!!”

After spending years and thousands of dollars going in circles with Naturopathic doctors, Tara cut through it all and gave me answers.
I finally feel like I’m moving forward in my health journey, and it’s greatly in part of Tara’s Hormone Balance Solution.”

“I am feeling FABULOUS! I honestly feel the best I have in a very long time. I started the Vykon right when it came in, I have noticed the biggest difference in my mood, my energy and overall well-being since taking it. I am seriously so amazed at how much better I feel in a short amount of time. Your program has truly been such a blessing to my life. I am so excited to continue and see where I am at the end of the 16 weeks. I am absolutely loving the information and getting a snapshot of what’s going on inside my body. Just really loving the whole program so much!”
Brittney
“Since working with Tara and her team I feel like a completely different person. In our last consult I kind of forgot what my initial reasons for working with her were. I forgot I use to get migraines, clotting, and pelvic pains. I even forgot that my stress levels were high! I am a huge believer in the HTMA and GI maps tests. It is unbelievable to see on paper things move in the right direction along with symptoms improving along the way. My copper levels were through the roof along with other heavy metals that I am still working to detox but they have come down so much. I believe this was a huge driving force to my migraines I had had my whole life. I literally felt toxic and I guess I was.”

Meet The Team
Hi, I'm Tara Thorne.
Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Certified Functional Nutrition Coach.
Then, when I moved from Australia to Canada when I was 27, I suffered from another bout of (this time crippling) anxiety, which – you guessed it – my doctor gave me more Band-Aids for in the form of Clonazepam and Zoloft. But I knew these meds were not the solution. I knew there must be a reason for my symptoms – and it wasn’t a medication deficiency!
After years of struggling and then years of learning everything I possibly could about women’s hormones, functional testing, therapeutic supplements, nutrition, the nervous system, and SO much more, now, in the thick of my perimenopausal years, I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 20s!
I am also blessed with an incredible amount of knowledge and clinical experience, which I bring to you and my clients so you don’t have to struggle like I did, or try to figure it all out on your own. I’ve helped thousands of women worldwide regain their confidence, their self-esteem, and ditch their debilitating symptoms – and you can too!
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:
ACCOUNTABILITY, GUIDANCE, & SUPPORT
• 26 weeks (6 months) spent with Tara and Michelle, and the other HBS ladies, inside the program. This gives us ample time to dive deep into your case, watch how you respond to protocols, tweak things if needed, continuously ask you questions and get feedback from you – and all this guides us and helps us redirect when needed. Healing is not a simple, black and white process, nor is it quick when done right. Likewise, there’s no overnight fix for your symptoms. This is why we’ve made this program half a year in length, to give you time to undo damage and rebalance body systems. We play the long-game in the HBS – which gives you long-term, sustainable results. These 6 months also enable us to give you support and encouragement whilst we educate you about your body, so you leave The HBS feeling confident about what to do for the rest of your life to support your body and keep it healthy.
• Four private one-on-one consultations with Tara or Michelle. These consultations are completely private and give you time to ask us 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 your protocols and to encourage and support you in your healing journey and where you can improve things to optimise your results, more info in the FAQs.
• Weekly group coaching calls. These give you even more time to talk to Tara and Michelle – face-to-face – about your health, your test results, the custom protocols we’ve developed for you, and more. These sessions allow you to get support, motivation, and encouragement and all your questions answered. These calls are at appropriate times for ladies in North America, Australia, as well as the UK – so nobody misses out. They are also all recorded for you to watch later, either as videos or as audio files, (like a podcast).
• Private Facebook community full of other HBS members as well as direct, continual access to Tara and Michelle. This private group is a very active community of like-minded women on a similar journey to you. It’s where you can ask as many questions as you like for the duration of the program and seek support from Tara and her team, as well as the other HBS ladies. Tara and her team are completely accessible to you in this group, so you never have a question or query go unanswered.
• Weekly emails direct to your inbox for the first 11 weeks of the program, and a further 5 emails for the remainder of the program. These emails are designed to keep you focused, on track, and remind you where you're supposed to be at in the program, what you're supposed to be focusing on, and where you're going / what’s coming up.
• The HBS membership option. Once you’re finished the first 6 months with us you may decide you want to continue working with us. Over 70% of the women who join The HBS continue on in The HBS membership, because they’re loving the support, community, and re-testing options we offer.
FUNCTIONAL HEALTH TESTS, BLOOD WORK ANALYSIS & FOOD JOURNAL/MACRO ANALYSIS:
• Access to an online food journal. In this journal you can input what you’re eating so we can review this in detail for you and make personalised suggestions for you.
• Cronometer reviews. If you’d like, we can review your macros in order for us to give you more personalised dietary recommendations.
• 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 heavy metals – which we see on this test – you may NEVER see hormonal balance). You do this test in the comfort of your own home.
• GI Map stool test – the most comprehensive stool test on the market. You don’t have a hormone issue – you have a gut issue! Running hormone tests can be a waste of time and money, especially in your 40’s. All your hormone imbalances, (in fact, all your symptoms) start in the gut, so running a gut test is a mandatory part of any healing program. You do this test in the comfort of your own home.
• Analysis of blood test results. 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 deeper into your health case. If you don’t have blood test results currently, we can 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).
• Other testing available if you need it. We have access to other testing as required such as SIBO testing, mold testing, Lyme testing, and much more. We only recommend these if we truly believe you need to do them.
• Custom supplement protocols based on your test results and unique case. No more DIY-ing your supplements or throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. We are experts a developing custom supplement protocols that work for our clients.
• Video explanation of your test results and blood work. In these videos we explain – in detail – your results and how they relate to your symptoms, so you’re never left wondering what a marker means or how your results relate to your symptoms. We give you answers and spend the time explaining these to you, which you’ve probably never been given before. These videos are yours to keep and refer back to forever.

Experiences Shared by Previous HBS Members
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!”

For years I have chased symptoms and tried things based on those symptoms. While some of it helped, I still was left trying to figure out what was happening inside my body. Now I know!
In Tara's program I discovered what exactly was happening and Tara developed a protocol to finally address the reason I was experiencing the symptoms.
Take back your power ladies! Do the tests and the work. It is worth every penny to finally know what is going on and how to treat it. After a few months in the program, I can honestly say I have more energy than I have had in a long time. I see signs that my body is healing.
I am finally standing in my power and moving forward. Thank you Tara for sharing your light and knowledge with women. Thank you for helping me to take back my power and my health!”

I started taking more time to do things I enjoyed, realising how important that is for my health. I also realised that for someone with my health concerns, high intensity exercise is not beneficial! While I mostly knew what foods to steer away from, it helped to have someone I was accountable to who was checking in on me regularly.
The HBS community of ladies all give each other food ideas, and we supported each other through the process.
Tara interpreted the test results and put me on a range of supplements to improve my health and hormone balance. I no longer feel like I need a nap everyday, I'm thinking clearer and I've also lost some weight!
After the HBS program, I feel I now have the knowledge to continue this journey myself, and I'll continue to work with Tara in the future. Tara gave me answers to my questions, and solutions to improving my symptoms. Thank you for your support and expertise Tara!”

Overheard On the HBS Coaching Calls . . .
Before and After of an HBS lady who wanted to clear her skin.
What Our HBS Members Are Saying:
I delivered my daughter 2 years prior and was overwhelmed with fatigue, joint pains, anxiety, and migraines that were crippling. Traditional western medicine was not giving me any answers, and all of my blood testing was coming back “normal” or just “slightly abnormal but not enough to treat” so I was given bandaid treatments.
I knew it was time to work with Tara and try to get to the root cause of my issues. After completing some testing we found that I have a lot of inflammation causing my health issues along with a gluten sensitivity and H pylori.
After making some changes over a month, my migraines come much less frequently, and when they do they are less severe. My PMS symptoms are less now, and my anxiety is much better. I am sleeping better and my fatigue is improved. This may not seem like much, but to me this is everything- I feel like I am slowly getting my life back. So far, I have started most protocols but most importantly have incorporated morning walks, meditation 3x per week, dietary adjustments including at least 30g but ideally 40g of protein at every meal and going completely gluten free. When I choose meals I think protein and produce and try to really just concentrate on healthy, wholesome foods to nourish me. I cannot wait to see how I feel after I continue these things for more than just a month, and start the rest of my supplements. I am also excited to retest and see how I have fixed things, and see what else needs to be worked on. I love not only having a community of women experiencing similar things that I can speak to, but Tara on my side, caring and cheering me on along the way. My only regret is not joining this program sooner. I should add that I am a Nurse Practitioner trained in western medicine practices only, and I am now “sold” on functional medicine. ”

We decided we wanted to try for another baby. We tried and tried and nothing. Early 2018 I decided to get acupuncture and saw great improvements to my cycle. 6 weeks later we were pregnant. I was pregnant for 20 weeks until we found out our baby’s heartbeat was no longer. We were devastated.
I took 2 months to recover and decided once and for all to get proper help. This is when I contacted Tara. She explained to me her approach and testing she offers. She told me we would have to prioritize getting better before considering trying for another baby. I wasn’t sure we wanted to wait but we decided something had to be done. By this time I had extreme fatigue and was quite over weight for my normal. I barely felt alive.
In July 2019 we began working with Tara. I’ll never forget the relief when I received Tara's notes explaining everything. All my results. All the mystery behind why I felt the way I did. Finally! Some Answers!!!!! Tara put together a personalized protocol to begin my healing ASAP.
It’s now been 2 (almost 3) months that I’ve been following my protocol. I’m happy to report that I’ve lost 10lbs within the 1st month and a half. My energy levels are 100% better than they were. I am now eating better, and sleeping better. My last menstrual cycle was a dream!
I had suffered heavy periods since I was 15. Last 4 cycles I was also experiencing a migraine just before starting. This last cycle I had zero headache and had a very minimal flow. I’m pretty amazed! Back in 2015 when my acne got really bad, I also began getting intense eczema on both hands. I’m thrilled to say that after 4 years of battling eczema, my hands are now clear! This happened on my second month after starting my protocol.
I’m just so thankful. This was the one issue I didn’t see clearing up. I have a lot of work left to do but all this has helped me to get to the next stage of healing. I’m putting this together in hopes that people can see what a blessing it was to work with Tara Thorne. How her knowledge of nutrition and how the body works, was crucial in my turn around.. If you're on the fence or feel like nothing will work, please consult with her. I feel blessed to have found her.”
Andrea
I’m 38 years old, live a busy life as a full time financial professional and was starting to experience the exact same symptoms and issues my mother had when she was my age…this was a major turning point for me when I decided I needed to get to the root of my issues, not just mask them.
Tara and I have spent the last few months using a combination of food choices and supplementation to address the primary gut infection (h.pylori) and help my body detox from all the estrogen. Follow up testing shows that h.pylori is gone and that my markers for gut inflammation and difficulty detoxing estrogen have come WAY down. I’m also experiencing regular, normal periods, no breast pain and no headaches!!
We recently re-ran the GI map testing again and will tackle some secondary disbiosis issues that very commonly lurk under the primary issues.
I am also going to start implementing Tara’s recommendations for better/more sleep and stress management to allow my body to shed the excess weight.
The support in the community is awesome, and it’s a great place to get real, point-in-time answers from Tara instead of just crossing my fingers and googling important health questions.
I am so pleased with Tara’s thorough and precise process and her kind and thoughtful approach. I know I’m on the right track and implementing foods, supplements and lifestyle choices that specifically are geared for me and my issues. I only wish I had found her sooner.”
Rebecca
After this, I decided to try a different route and see if I could find something more holistic and naturally based which led me to a functional/holistic approach. I had never met someone who understood what I was going through as well as Tara. Tara is a very intelligent woman who had been through her own health issues and found a way to resolve them. In this, she has become a blessing to help others who may be dealing with something similar. She is always available to answer questions as they arise and explain your treatment protocols very clearly and thoroughly. The functional portion of the HBS gets to the root cause of an issue instead of a traditional way of treating the symptom(s).
Within two months of the protocols and a more thorough understanding of the root causes as well as how to heal myself from the inside out, I experienced a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, a 20-30 lb. weight loss, clearer skin, improvement in brain fog, increased sleeping through the night, increased endurance, and an overall increase in moods and happiness.
Tara is able to address those issues which are pinpointed in the Dutch, GI Map, and HTMA testing while also making it a necessity to focus on emotional and mental health. The health of the human body is dictated by each part that makes us whole and it has to be addressed as such. Daily walks, food choices, gratitude journals, and healing past emotional traumas are all necessary to achieve your best health possible. Tara is awesome in helping you do those things.”
Ranada
Traditional health care providers had zero answers for me and I was trying everything myself to get well.
I ended up eliminating most foods that I realized were causing me problems- to the point where I was only eating meat, some vegetables, some fruits and coconut. Everything else made me sick. I was still in pain often and extremely tired, sleeping every day. I tried all different products, doctors and health care workers.
I was often in tears and felt I had little quality of life. On top of this I had hormone problems and could not lose the excess weight I was carrying.
I stumbled across Tara’s page on Instagram and followed her for a while to see what she was all about. What attracted me to her was the LACK OF GUESSING with her testing and her holistic approach to health, and she was GETTING RESULTS!!
I have been working with Tara in the HBS for around 5 months, she gave me answers and solutions too. Health is not a quick fix, I put in the time and money to improve my health but boy is it worth it. I can eat 95% of foods now, have normal bowel movements, have lost the excess weight with no calorie counting etc, have so much more energy and am working full time. Tara and I will keep fine tuning my health, mainly my hormones now, and getting my minerals balanced.
As women we often invest so much time and money in our family but we need to invest in ourselves too!
Thanks Tara for your knowledge and help.”

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”?
It's important to acknowledge that achieving optimal health takes time, considering the entire journey that has led you to your current state. As the saying goes, you don't walk 10 miles into the woods only to walk out in 5. Realistic expectations are key.
Properly prioritising your health requires a significant investment of time, which is why The HBS program is designed to span over 6 months. It's crucial to understand that healing times vary depending on individual circumstances and the level of effort you put into the process.
It's vital to recognise that Michelle and I do not heal you. Ultimately, you are the one who heals yourself. We provide you with the best tools, tips, advice, and protocols available, but it's your responsibility to actively listen and put in the work.
Should you choose to continue beyond the initial 6-month program, you have the option to join The HBS membership. This allows you to remain a part of the program on a month-to-month basis (more details below).
It's important to remember that the journey toward health is ongoing and never truly finished. Just like you service your car yearly, I believe it's beneficial for everyone to seek guidance from a functional health practitioner at least once a year for a “tune-up,” which involves functional testing and 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”?
We do not have a specific “start” date for The HBS program, but we do have a limited number of openings available for women each month. Your program journey begins once you have completed the payment process.
We need to establish a solid foundation before receiving your test results, ensuring that the supplements we recommend based on those results will be effective. Therefore, your healing journey begins right away – not once you receive test results back.
During the initial weeks of the program, while we are awaiting your test results, our focus will be on crucial aspects of healing such as identifying the right diet type for you, achieving blood sugar balance, optimising sleep, working on the nervous system, facilitating detoxification, among other important elements. These steps are essential for establishing a strong foundation. Without addressing these aspects first, the testing protocols may not yield optimal results.
Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive all the resources you need to get started. Additionally, you will gain immediate access to our private Facebook group and coaching calls, where Tara and Michelle will be available to provide support and answer any questions you may have.
What do the one-on-one consultations look like?
- The first consultation is done over Zoom (audio only) with either Tara or Michelle. This is a 45-60 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 program is more than just a typical group program— it’s a hybrid program that offers a unique combination of support. Some individuals may mistakenly believe that a hybrid program lacks the necessary support, but this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, The HBS program offers an extensive level of support that encompasses one-on-one consultations, the interactive Facebook group, and the group coaching calls. You receive comprehensive support within The HBS that is equivalent to, if not surpassing, the level of support you would receive in a one-on-one setting with us. Moreover, the invaluable community support from fellow participants within The HBS often proves instrumental in helping women succeed on their healing journey.
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?
While we prioritise flexibility and individuality in The HBS program, we don't adhere strictly to rigid diets. When you join, we provide you with our Anti-Inflammatory HBS Dietary Guidelines, which offers healthful dietary recommendations suitable for most individuals. However, during our initial consultation, if we determine that you would benefit from a more specific diet tailored to your needs, we will offer you personalised recommendations and provide additional resources to support you in implementing this specific diet type. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the dietary guidance that best suits your unique requirements and preferences.
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 6 months is up inside The HBS?
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?
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?
I understand. As a busy working mom with two young kids and a business to run, finding time for your health can be challenging. But there’s nothing special about those who have transformed their lives before you inside The HBS. Here's the truth: if other women can do it, so can you.
Meal preparation is a crucial part of healthy living, and we'll support you in The HBS with tips on batch cooking, meal planning, and more. We provide a variety of recipes for you to choose from. And the educational portion of The HBS is designed to fit into a manageable amount of time—possibly even less than what you spend on TV or social media scrolling. We have also provided audio recordings of the important resources and coaching calls so that you can learn in a way that suits you best.
Remember, you can start with one small step and build from there. The HBS is not a race, but a lifestyle. We can go at your pace. Neglecting your health can only make your struggles worse, so it's important to make time for your wellbeing.
