If your health or weight loss plan involves counting daily macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates & fats), please stop. In this episode, I’m going to explain why you should focus on micronutrients, rather than macronutrients.
It’s not that proteins, carbs and fats aren’t important. It’s that centring your meals and daily routines around macro metrics doesn’t fully cover your needs for balancing hormones - your body’s regulators. It’s only a part of the picture. Also, counting macros is a pain.
With my clients, we always focus on getting the right amount of micronutrients - vitamins and minerals. Micronutrients build the hormones that regulate everything from weight (fat), skin issues, digestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), bloating and more.
