Mindy Musselman, a seasoned Registered and Licensed Dietitian with 16 years of experience is with us today to dive into the world of nutrition and macronutrients. Mindy kicks off the discussion by breaking down the basics of macronutrients—carbs, fat, and protein—and their crucial roles in fueling our bodies.

 

We explore how macronutrient ratios can be tailored to individual goals and lifestyles, considering factors like age, gender, and activity level. Stay tuned to hear us debunk a common misconception about alcohol and recommend some handy apps for easy macro tracking and basic strength training.

 

From there, we discuss the significance of fiber and protein, and how tweaking your macronutrient intake can impact weight loss and energy levels. We even dispel some myths surrounding weight loss. Join us to empower yourself with knowledge about nutrition and macronutrients and take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle!
