The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2023/03/08

The biggest mistake I see being made when it comes to kickstarting your health journey is immediately jumping into a calorie deficit. Diet culture has conditioned you to believe that health is restricting food and becoming your smallest self, when in reality this isn't health at all. Health is about learning how to nourish your body so it can thrive through the consumption of mostly whole real foods and understanding how to moderate indulgences while partaking in lifestyle factors such as movement,

Ep 16: No, You Won't Get "Bulky"

2023/03/01

I am TIRED of hearing women fear getting "bulky" and allow this fear to hold them back from weight training and eating more, so we're going to tackle this mindset block head on. Why is it that women are afraid to get bulky? How is this fear harming your progress or causing you to fall for BS diet advice? Will you actually get bulky if you weight train? All that and some tough love on today's episode. MARK YOUR CALENDARS On Wednesday March 22 at 6pm PST I'm hosting a free class called Master

Ep 15: Food Freedom Requires Responsibility

The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2023/02/15

WTF is food freedom even? It's two words strung together by health coaches all over the internet (including myself) that depicts a life outside dieting... or something like that. In reality, food freedom doesn't seem to have a set definition and it's pretty subjective to what it means according to the person using the term. Regardless, what I don't want you to think is that food freedom and going down a path that leads to intuitive eating means you get to eat whatever the f*ck you want without a

Your mindset around nutrition and your journey will impact the decisions you make along the way which will greatly impact your health. It's time to be smarter than the BS marketing by diets and supplement companies and internet know-it-alls who think that because they track their macros they know a thing or two about nutrition. These are the mindsets that are keeping you stuck in a cycle feeling frustrated by your lack of progress or yo-yo results. The mindset shifts I unpack in this episode:

Ep 12: What The Path to Intuitive Eating Can Look Like

The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2023/01/25

If you’ve been tracking your food or dieting for an extended period of time you might be wondering how you make the shift towards intuitive eating. To answer this question, I want to tell you how I specifically transitioned off macro tracking to intuitive eating and what that looks like for me. I think it’s also important to note that this journey does not look the same for everyone, so I’ll also be dishing on what has helped my clients in their own journeys as well. In this episode I talk on how I

2023/01/18

Fatphobia - the fear of being fat, also known as weight bias or weight stigma. Have you ever given thought to how your thoughts around your body and health may be rooted in internalized fatphobia? Given that diet culture has generated an industry worth billions, it's safe to say our society is deeply rooted in fatphobia. Fatphobia impacts our lives immensely - it impacts what we wear, what we buy, how we think of others as well as ourselves, and what measures we take to be healthy. The problem is

Ep 10: Less Is More When It Comes to Exercise

The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2023/01/11

When it comes to exercise, less is more. This is a lesson I wish I learned much earlier in my fitness journey as it would have saved me a lot of grief, but I guess if I didn’t learn it the hard way I probably wouldn’t be the coach that I am today. I take a lot of my philosophies from personal experience and quite frankly my goal in educating others is to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes I did. In today’s episode, I’m going to provide some background on why we have a tendency to take fitness

It's that time of year in which we're thinking hard about the goals we want to accomplish in our future. But have you ever set your sights on a goal or multiple goals only to let time pass and see none of them come to fruition? Do you get started with the best of intentions and highest motivation only to see your efforts dwindle over time?

Imagine being put on your first diet 9 years old. Think of the impact that will have on you and your relationship with food and your body for years to come. For many of you, you don’t have to imagine it because you lived it. To think that’s how entrenched we are in diet culture that we push it on our kids at early ages can be mind blowing. But this is exactly what happened to today’s guest, Gabi Mahan. After being put on a diet at a young age, she eventually developed an eating disorder that she

You've seen it in my videos and you've probably heard me talk about it before on any one of my social media platforms. What makes me the anti-macro coach and why am I anti-macro tracking? To fully answer this, I'm going to give you a little background on macro tracking my personal history with the method and some of my takeaways and why I've taken an anti-macro stance.

You've been told all your life to eat less in order to shrink your body. The problem is that eating less hasn't been making you any healthier, in fact it's making you unhealthy. Our societal obsession with dieting is leading to us having a poor relationship with food, binge and restrict tendencies, gut health and hormonal health problems, and more. In this episode, we're going to dive into why you should be eating more than 1200 calories, how eating more helps you heal your relationship with food,

For this episode, I interviewed my former client, Jhana. Jhana worked with me from November 2019 until November 2020, so as you can imagine we tackled A LOT together. We reflect on what it was like for Jhana to kickstart her postpartum weight loss journey just before Thanksgiving and how ditching macros enabled her to enjoy the holidays while seeing progress as well as how we navigated the stress of the pandemic and everything that came with it.

The holiday season is a time of food-centric gatherings, indulgences, and being overwhelmingly busy which is why *most* people will fall off track with their health habits.

Ep 1: Fix Your Foundation

The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2022/11/02

When someone decides to set out on the path of improving their nutrition, they're often led towards dieting or calorie counting or macro tracking. Counting calories and macros has become one of the most popular routes for people to take when they're trying to embark on a health journey of any kind - whether it's weight loss or building muscle or just improving how they eat. The issue that I find with jumping into these methods as your first line of defense is focus on how much you're eating versus
