  • Episode 2 – Mastering Your Macros with Jason Loewy

    Why should you track your macros and how can it improve your health?

    We’re excited to chat with Jason Loewy, the founder and CEO of My Macros+, a diet tracking app that integrates with Heads Up Health. This integration empowers people to take control of their health, giving people the ability to trend their health data over time.

    A bodybuilder with a computer science degree, Jason built a nutrition tracking app after being frustrated by the lack of in-depth data about what he was eating. Wanting it to be customizable and not overwhelming, he created an app that a super-user, as well as a beginner, could use.

      6. Episode 1 – Talkin’ Shit with Dr. Grace Liu (aka The Poo Princess)

        We are honored to kick off our inaugural show with the lovely and uber-talented Dr. Grace Liu. Also known as “The Gut Goddess,” and sometimes, “The Poo Princess,” Dr. Grace is a Functional Medicine Practioner, Gut Health Educator, and the founder of The Gut Institute.

        She uses Heads Up Health with her clients, many who are top-tier athletes, busy executives, and multi-tasking moms. We’re lucky to have her join us to talk about the gut microbiome, which is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, elements of our health.

        Dr. Grace’s training includes four years in plant biology, bachelor in nutritional science and food science, a doctorate in pharmacy, and Crossfit Nutrition Certified by Robb Wolf (and Nicki Violetti). She’s also very data-driven in her approach to working with her clients.

        Check out her website and listen to Dr. Grace Liu’s podcast here.
