EPISODE 16 SHOW NOTES

I’m very excited to be back for another season of the Fueled & Free Podcast!

I wanted to kick off this season with a little recap of my summer + some exciting life updates. I’ll also be answering some questions I received from my instagram audience regarding tracking macros and going into a calorie deficit. 

Disclaimer: If you’re struggling with a sluggish metabolism, gut issues, an irregular menstrual cycle, it’s wise to focus on supporting your metabolism and addressing any underlying health issues BEFORE trying to change your body composition, and go into a calorie deficit.

in this episode, my experience hiring a macro coach this summer and managing health goals when life gets busy, i cover:

  • A few life updates on what I’ve been up to this summer + what’s ahead 
  • Why I decided to hire a macro coach 
  • Why consistently tracking my food and paying closer attention to my eating habits has been extremely beneficial for me
  • Taking time to really assess my relationship with alcohol
  • The importance of tracking your food, and focusing on your ‘why’ when you’re working on personal health goals
  • Why all of your health markers need to be optimal before going into any kind of fat loss or calorie deficit
  • How it can look going out to dinner and consuming alcohol when tracking macros/being in a calorie deficit
  • My best advice for meal planning & prepping
  • How to break down + find your macro split
  • Setting a realistic goal for fat loss

MORE ABOUT ME

Thanks for being here! I'm a functional nutritionist and holistic health coach that specializes in helping you balance your hormones and optimize health by finding the root cause of your symptoms. 

Hey, I'm Margaret

JOIN THE NEWSLETTER

I specialize in taking a root-cause approach to understand your body from the inside out using nutrition and functional lab data, while embracing holistic and alternative approaches to wellness I’m not stranger to feeling desperate for solutions to fix your health symptoms yet only be told, “your labs look great” and “nothing’s wrong”. I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues and went to countless of doctors and health practitioners only to be offered birth control or a prescription medication for my acne. 

I said “no thanks!” and dove deep into the science and research. Now I am healthier, more vibrant and feel more balanced in my 30’s than I was 10 years ago, and I truly have functional medicine to thank for that! Ever since, my team and I have helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more
