  • everyday fuelling for women

    Got a question? Send me a text! :)

    Alicia talks about a small but important change in her Health Coaching business, complains about TV shows only being 10 episodes long--wtf?, and shares a dead-behind-the-eyes Spin Class experience. 
    at [13:35] Alicia gets into the importance of eating Protein, Carbs, and Fats. They are ALL critical for exercise recovery and everyday life.  So, how do we fuel as women for everyday life?  So many fad diets have demonized Fat and Carbs at one point or another, and  when one macronutrient is demonized, the other one is usually over done.  Learn how each macronutrient plays an important role in your health, hormones, body composition, recovery, and sleep!

    Got a question? Send me a text! :)
