Episode 22: Macros 101 — The Good, the Bad & the UglyMacros are everywhere right now — but are they really the secret to better health, fat loss, and hormone balance… or just another diet trend in disguise? In this episode of Gut Feelings: Life Unfiltered, Jen and Melissa break down the world of macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats) and dive into: What macros actually are and why they matter The rise of macro counting and the “If It Fits Your Macros” craze The good — awareness, education, and structure The bad — obsession, low-calorie calculators, and hormone chaos The ugly — processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and toxic diet culture A functional medicine approach to tracking that prioritizes food quality, hormone health, and gut balance You’ll walk away with practical, real-world strategies to use macros as a supportive tool (not a second job) while keeping your hormones, metabolism, and sanity intact. Because health isn’t just about hitting numbers — it’s about nourishing your body, balancing your hormones, and feeling unstoppable.
