Listen Later

I’m PUMPED to be kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast, all about…MACROS!


If you’ve been putting in the work at the gym, but still aren’t seeing the results you want, chances are your nutrition isn’t actually supporting your goals.


That’s where really understanding macros comes in (and why I’m here to help unf*ck them for you)!


You may be wondering “WTF are macros, really?!”. Basically, macronutrients are what food is made of - protein, carbs, and fats. They’re not another fad diet like Keto or Weight Watchers, and they’re different from calories. 


Most people think they’re eating healthy, but don’t actually know what their breakdown looks like. This step is sooo important, and you can’t skip it if you want to see long-term results with your health!


This series is all about education that leads to actual implementation, so you can start seeing the body recomp results you’ve been chasing. Let’s keep it real, simple, and unf*ck macros together!


Episode recap:

  • Why you can’t get the body you truly want without first understanding macros
  • The 3 macronutrients + what “tracking macros” actually means
  • Calories vs. macros + why knowing the difference changes everything
  • Why the breakdown of your food matters more than you think
  • The “all the rules” cycle that keeps women stuck in health & fitness + how to break free from it
  • What to do if you’ve already hit your macros for the day, but you’re still hungry
  • How eating intentionally and learning your body’s needs leads to more control + ultimate food freedom
