Today's episode is one I've been so excited to record because this is a story that's been such a big part of my own journey — and one that I know so many of you will relate to. We're talking all about what tracking macros has actually taught me. I'm going to share what tracking gave me, what I wish I had known sooner, and then walk you through the six phases I went through — from tracking every single thing to where I am now, which is living in a place of peace, trust, and balance. By the end, you'll know how to stay consistent without obsession, how to use tracking as a tool instead of a rule, and how to build the kind of food freedom that lasts. What I Discuss:

The real lessons I learned from tracking macros for nearly 15 years — beyond food, into mindset, discipline, and self-trust.
Why tracking isn't meant to control you, and how I use it now as a tool for freedom, not restriction.
The six phases I went through on my journey, from tracking every bite to living in full peace and balance with food.
How under-eating doesn't make you disciplined…it makes you depleted.
How fueling your body actually builds confidence.
The key shift that helped me move from obsession to awareness — and why real food freedom comes from knowing, not guessing.
