Macronutrients might be the main character in most nutrition conversations, but if you're serious about your health, performance, or just feeling like a functioning human, you need to care about the micros.

They break down fat-soluble vs. water-soluble vitamins, who's most at risk for deficiencies, when supplements make sense (and when they're a waste), and how to make getting enough micronutrients way less complicated than it sounds. This one's for anyone who wants to go beyond macros and start feeling their best from the inside out.

Krissy, Kelsey, and Chelsea tackle the myth that being fit or athletic means looking a certain way. They break down how this misconception takes root and how the media, social expectations, and even our own internalized beliefs have shaped what we think athletes should look like.

They discuss the wide range of physiques across different sports, the impact of training volume, nutrition, and genetics, and the disconnect between aesthetic goals and actual performance. They also get personal—sharing their own struggles with body image, sport-specific ideals, and the pressure to look the part.

Whether you lift, run, ski, or move your body in any way, this conversation is a powerful reminder that fitness is a skill, not a look—and if you're doing the thing, you are the thing. No matter your body type.
