If you're a healthcare worker who's heard of macros but still feels confused, overwhelmed, or convinced they "don't work," this episode is for you.
I'm breaking down exactly what we covered inside my Macros Made Simple: Healthcare Edition challenge — because even after years of talking about nutrition, I'm still blown away by how many women in healthcare were never taught how food actually works in their bodies. And no, that's not your fault.
In this episode, I walk through what macros actually are, why protein, carbs, and fats all matter (yes, even carbs), and why tracking macros is very different from just counting calories. I talk about why low-carb culture did so much damage, why eating 1,200 calories is a fast track to feeling like garbage, and how missing lunches, long shifts, and stress completely change how nutrition needs to be approached in healthcare.
I also get into why macros don't have to be restrictive, complicated, or time-consuming — and how most people overcomplicate them to the point of quitting. This isn't about perfection, protein bars, or living in a tracking app. It's about learning how to eat in a way that actually supports your energy, your hormones, and your life outside of work.
➡️ Since the challenge is now closed, I'm also sharing a bonus just for podcast listeners — a free way to audit your current nutrition and finally understand what needs to shift to support your health and weight loss goals without burning yourself out.
