In this inspiring episode of the “I Did It” Series, I sit down with Timili Grady, a 45-year-old MACROS 101 alumna navigating the challenges of perimenopause. Like many women in their 40s, Timili felt like everything that used to work for her body had suddenly stopped. But through the process of reverse dieting—strategically increasing her calories to boost her metabolism—she found a surprising and powerful solution, a transformation that not only changed her body, but also her energy, mindset, and relationship with food. If you're feeling frustrated, stuck, or out of sync with your body in midlife, her story will offer hope, insight, and a reminder that it’s never too late to take back control of your health. Let’s dive in!

Get ready for some serious light bulb moments in this episode as I share a live coaching session from one of our MACROS 101 calls with Anna. If tracking your food has ever felt overwhelming, frustrating, or like a constant test of perfection, you’re going to relate to this one. Anna came into our conversation feeling stuck—swinging between obsessively tracking every gram and giving up altogether when she couldn’t be perfect. Together, we unpacked her resistance and reframed tracking as a tool for learning, not a test to pass or fail. You'll hear the exact questions I asked that helped shift her mindset and reveal how powerful a simple perspective change can be. Tracking isn’t about control—it’s about understanding. And when you approach it with curiosity instead of judgment, that’s where the real freedom begins. Let's dive in!
