Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster are back with health coach and influencer Jenny Fisher for Episode 2 of our four-part series on building a healthier life — one step at a time.

This week, it’s all about fuel — learning how to nourish your body with the right foods, without the guilt, confusion, or crash diets. Jenny breaks down practical nutrition strategies that anyone can do, from understanding macros to mastering the art of balance and indulgence.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why food is more than calories — it’s fuel and medicine for your body.

• How to calculate simple calorie and protein goals using Jenny’s easy formulas.

• The power of protein for energy, muscle, and metabolism (and why 100g a day can change everything).

• How to build plates that include fiber, whole foods, and smart indulgences — no deprivation required.

• How to reduce added sugar without losing joy in eating.

• Why small, consistent steps (and Jenny’s “Two-in-a-Row Rule”) lead to lasting success.

Jenny reminds us that eating well doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it’s about making mindful choices, honoring your body, and enjoying the process.

🥗 Whether you’re learning to track macros, eat cleaner, or simply drink more water, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and equipped to fuel your best life.
