Job Title: Health Communications Intern

Location: Remote
Type: Unpaid Internship (Flexible Hours)

About Meterbolic:

Meterbolic is a transformative organisation at the cutting edge of metabolic health. Our mission is to help people understand and improve their metabolic health through early detection, personalised insights, and preventative care. Metabolic health impacts almost every aspect of our lives—from energy and athletic performance to mental clarity, weight management, and even hormonal balance. By specialising in Kraft Testing, a method that identifies insulin resistance early, we give individuals the power to make meaningful changes before serious conditions develop.

Why Metabolic Health is Important and So Prevalent

Metabolic health plays a critical role in our well-being. Insulin resistance—a key factor in poor metabolic health—affects over 1 in 3 adults in the UK and contributes to a range of issues, from Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease to fatigue, athletic performance challenges, weight gain, and hormone imbalances. Many people experience poor sleep, lower energy, and reduced physical performance without realising that metabolic health is the root cause. Women’s health is particularly impacted, as metabolic issues can affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and energy levels. Our goal is to make understanding and improving metabolic health accessible for everyone, from athletes seeking enhanced performance to individuals wanting to improve their daily energy and quality of life.

The Importance of Early Detection

Through early detection, we help individuals catch signs of insulin resistance and other metabolic issues before they progress to more serious conditions. By identifying these early markers with our Kraft Test, users can make lifestyle adjustments to prevent further health complications, optimise their energy, and achieve greater balance in their lives. Early intervention in metabolic health has been shown to improve fitness, boost mental clarity, and support longevity—making our approach invaluable for everyone.

Why Meterbolic is an Exciting, Upcoming Business

We’re not just a testing company; we’re building a comprehensive approach to help people gain control over their health. As an upcoming business, we’re excited about our plans for home testing kits, digital health packs, and partnerships with organisations in health and wellness. Our vision is to empower people with the knowledge to optimise their health, creating a proactive, accessible path to wellness for people from all walks of life.
