  <description>Macro tracking is great tool however, macro tracking is not for everyone. In this episode, I breakdown food groups and provide a variety of meal ideas to help you understand how to build simple, balanced meals. Though this may be a simple concept, most people are not doing the simple (nutrition) things consistently, which is ultimately the key achieving your health-related goals!

  <description>Over the last year and a half coaching and overseeing over 100 clients, I've noticed that the most successful people in our nutrition coaching program have 4 things in common. In this episode, my dedicated client Katie Edwards and I discuss these commonalities as well as her keys to success so far.
