From Diet Myths to Real Food: How Women Can Fuel Their Bodies Without Restriction w/ Meagan Murtonen EP 202
Forget the diet noise.
In this episode, we sit down with holistic nutritionist and founder of That Girl Nourished, Meagan Murtonen, to unpack what actually fuels a strong, energised body—especially for women who are tired of chasing size goals and starting over every Monday.
Meagan shares her unconventional journey from the wedding industry to mindset coaching to nutrition, and why treating food as fuel—not something to restrict—changes everything. We dive into the difference between whole foods and ultra-processed “health” lookalikes, why real spices and quality fats matter, and how sugar quality and food pairing impact blood sugar, sleep, and cravings.
You’ll also learn why women’s 28-day hormone cycle means our nutritional needs differ from men’s daily rhythm, and how adequate protein, fat, and fibre support healthier hormone signalling, reduced inflammation, and better mood.
Meagan breaks down a realistic daily blueprint—around 130g of protein, at least 25g of fibre, and broad micronutrient coverage—using simple, satisfying meals like breakfast burritos, bone broth soups, Greek yogurt with high-protein granola, and chocolate chia pudding that tastes like dessert while delivering omega-3s and minerals.
We also challenge common nutrition fads like keto, carnivore, and BMI obsession, while offering practical swaps that stabilise energy and reduce decision fatigue.
If you’re ready to fuel like a human—not a headline—this episode is for you.
