Do macros confuse you? Do you have no clue, really, what they are or how to figure them out, how to track, or any of that? Macros, probably one of the few things that are so simple, yet we overthink it to the point of making it beyond confusing. Let’s break down the essence of macronutrients and how they relate to your health.
In this episode I go over what each macro does in the body, and how we should try to figure out how much of each we need.
Everybody should have a basic understanding of macros. Tracking is useful to help figure out what you are eating and how much. It is important to remember that these are tools. It is important not to let tracking become an obsession. Use it as a temporary tool to understand what you are eating and to figure out where to make adjustments to reach your goals.
Listen and and learn all the basics about macros!

Are you looking to level up your health goals? Well hang around for this episode
I was going to talk about the power of accountability on your health journey, but I've had a bit of a revelation. Accountability isn't the magic bullet. What you really need is support.
I dive into the meaning of accountability with the hopes of understanding it, you can pivot like I did to understand the magic is in support. Maybe it’s semantics, but a health and wellness support group can literally make or break your journey.
On a weight loss or health journey, having the knowledge that you're not alone is a game-changer. It's like having your own personal cheerleading squad. We all need a tribe, a group of people who've been through similar experiences and can empathize with our challenges.
Listen in as I give suggestions on where to look for support and what to look for. Getting support is the biggest strategy for success in many aspects of life. It’s definitely important on the lonely journey to health. When you find support, cherish and nurture it, it will bring you one step closer to achieving your health goals. You are not alone on this journey to better health and wellness. Embrace the power of support; it's your secret weapon.
