We’re about to explore a weighty topic for many people. This is one of the biggest lies out there in regards to your health, and we are going to walk you through how to truly live for health and not for weight.

In this episode, your food guides Erica and Fabrice expose the lie that “The Scale is King.” Erica and Fabrice explore macros in-depth. You know that buzzword you hear all the time but aren’t sure how that helps you choose your dinner? We look at fat, sugar, protein, and carbs. What do they mean? How do they impact your body? And what do you actually need?

This episode will help you break free from the scale, overcome deep embedded food scripts, and provide a clear roadmap to what healthy means for you.
