A Deep Dive into Macro Nutrition with Claire Cook
Today, we’re joined by my cousin Claire Cook. She’s a certified life coach, macro nutrition coach, and a PE teacher. Before working with her, I knew close to nothing about macro nutrition. I had healed my hashimotos by embracing clean ingredients and cutting out toxins. But the specifics of what to eat and when? Definitely not my area of expertise
So six months ago, during a trip to Las Vegas, I made the decision to commit to macro coaching with Claire. Sure, I had to set aside my pride a little to work with my cousin. But I’m so glad I did because this has seriously been one of the most eye-opening things I’ve done in my health journey.
Claire is taking us through a process that is not hyper focused on restriction or obsessive thinking around food. Tune in to hear some of the tools we’ve used along the way and the specific tests Claire has all of her students run to operate from a place of deep understanding with our bodies.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The necessary function carbohydrates play in our diet
Why many people aren’t getting enough protein
How to cut down on fats without turning to “low-fat” processed foods
How toxin exposure and hormone balance play a role in weight loss resistance
