Sick of tracking every bite like you're prepping for a fitness competition... just to end up bloated, cranky, and confused? In this episode, we're calling out the obsession with macro tracking and breaking down what really matters when it comes to nourishment. Ellie dishes up the difference between macros and micros—what the science says, when they might be useful, and why most women are completely missing the point. Spoiler: You don't need a calculator to heal your hormones, balance blood sugar, or reclaim your energy. You need real food, a little sass, and a whole lot of grace. Let's trade food fear for freedom, and math for meals that nourish your body and spirit. Because God didn't design you to be a walking nutrition label—He designed you to thrive. DON'T FORGET—WE WANT TO SEE YOU AT OUR WOMEN'S SUMMIT ON APRIL 26TH! ✨ Here are the details for the day:

Ellie also shares practical tips on food timing, fasting, the role of movement (without overtraining), and how key supplements like bitters, chromium, adaptogens, and blood sugar-balancing herbs can support this reset.
