Episode #44: Macros & Fitness with Dr. Ruth St. Victor

Summary

Workouts, calorie counting, and eliminating carbs are part of a laundry list that feels never-ending and just doesn’t work for losing weight. Having lost 60 pounds without exercising, I’ve never loved counting macros, but my guest this week has a different perspective after discovering that macros were the missing piece for building her fitness.

Dr. Ruth St. Victor is a board-certified OBGYN and has been one of my closest friends for the past 10 years. She’s a physician who understands the science of how our bodies work, and she’s a fitness fiend. She’s gone down every rabbit hole when it comes to making your body function at peak capacity, and she’s here to share all of it on the podcast.

Tune in this week to discover why Dr. Ruth St. Victor and I still have friendly arguments about counting macros, and how she’s gotten me to think about fitness and nutrition differently. Ruth is sharing her fitness and nutrition journey, why you need a plan specific to yourself, and all of the things about tracking macros that might surprise you.

I see time and time again how much emphasis high achievers put on making perfect plans. Yes, plans are important, but not as important as knowing how to masterfully implement the plan and create high-quality results. In my upcoming webinar, I am going to be teaching you my three simple frameworks that guarantee success in reaching your ideal weight. Join me for Quit the Strict Meal Planning and Do This Webinar Instead on Friday, February 10th, 2023 at 12pm Eastern (9am Pacific).
