Improving Metabolic Health for all New Zealanders

About Metabolic Health NZ

Metabolic Health NZ is a charitable trust working to shift the dial on the nation’s metabolic health, from evidence to action.

We believe good metabolic health is built on the fundamentals of behavioural medicine — whole-food nutrition, movement, quality sleep, and stress management — all backed by robust science. From Evidence to Action is more than our byline; it’s how we work: at the interface of research and real-world practice, translating what the science tells us into approaches that communities, primary care, and health services can put into action across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Through research partnerships, education, events, and community action, we’re making metabolic health a national priority — closing the gap between what works in the science and who gets to benefit from it.

A Tatou Torohanga / Our Vision

For every New Zealander to have the knowledge, support, and clinical pathways needed to achieve optimal metabolic health — the foundation of energy, vitality, and a long, healthy life.
