August 27, 2024 • Episode 6

In this conversation, Julia and Kaylin discuss the concept of balance in health and fitness, specifically focusing on surviving the weekend. If you're someone who says "I'll just start over again on Monday"... this is the episode for you!! A big piece of this episode is how to build a lifestyle - including the weekends - that support the goals you have for the future (and where mindset fits into that too!)

They share their personal journeys with nutritional periodization and how it has changed their relationship with food and their bodies, while emphasizing the importance of a life-first approach and debunking the myth that counting macros means restriction. You'll especially enjoy this part if you've ever wondered how tracking your food could be a healthy choice in a world that glorifies intuitive eating as being THE best choice every time.

They also discuss the dangerous mindset of using food as a reward, especially as busy women, and the opportunity to find other forms of self-care.

They highlight the importance of education, curiosity, and finding balance in order to achieve sustainable results. In this conversation, Kaylin and Julia discuss the importance of viewing food as a reward and finding other ways to feel good that align with our goals.

They emphasize the need to be mindful and curious about our food choices, using tracking as a tool to shed light on our nutrition. They also discuss strategies for planning and balancing social events and weekends with macros, including pre-logging and making choices that align with our preferences and goals.

The conversation highlights the importance of flexibility, imperfection, and self-compassion in our nutrition journey.
