When I first learned about macros back in oh, probably 2017, I was SOLD. You mean I don’t just have to eat bland, boring food in order to hit my goals?! I was totally in.

 

But after experiencing some fun newbie progress, I started to notice some unpleasant side affects. I found it harder and harder to stick to those initial (deficit) macros I had set for myself. My relationship with food started to decline. My progress stalled and even seemed to be going backwards in some areas.

 

It was when I started to notice this same pattern in other women that I decided - something’s not right here. Maybe macros was the first step, but we’re missing something..

 

So I started digging & researching, and discovered the evidence based fitness world. I started to seriously invest in continuing education, and for the first time I learned about nutritional periodization. 

 

I learned about this idea of approaching goals in seasons, for both optimal physical progress and mental health. I learned what my body had been trying to tell me all along - that fat loss is not a lifestyle, it’s a phase. I started to periodize my goals and saw my body composition change again for the first time in a long time, but even better - my relationship with food and fitness absolutely transformed, and has only gotten better throughout the years. 

 

I realized, I don’t have to choose between balance and goals! I can have it all, just not all of the time. 

 

Evidence based nutrition practices changed the game for me, and now I’ve taught hundreds of women these exact principles & have seen firsthand physiques and mindsets transformed.
