026 | Life Can Be Delicious ft. Heidi & Natalie of Butter Your Macros

Diet culture. What a crazy thing! Every year people spend billions of dollars on pills and teas and packaged meals and programs in search of essentially one thing – peace. Peace with food. Peace with their bodies.

We have been conditioned to ignore what our bodies tell us and instead focus on whatever quick fix will help us shed pounds and solidify happiness. I for one was tired of working so hard, only to be hangry all the time and hate the journey. Shedding pounds? Yeah, kinda. Happiness? Nowhere in sight.

Then I got curious. What if I listened to my body and explored things that felt overall good to me?

Enter Butter Your Macros. Heidi Bollard and Natalie DuLaney have put their shine on the science of counting food macronutrients (“macros”). They are engaging and smart and fun, and their insights are direct, fresh and doable! We had so much fun talking everything macros. Listen in!

In this episode:

- Your food choices are not character reflections

- Loving while vs. loving when

- Breaking down macros
