Ever felt like carbs are the enemy or that protein is the only way to build muscle? You're not alone. If you've been drowning in diet advice or stuck in that “all-or-nothing” mindset, this episode is for you.
I sat down with Christina Chu, sports and performance dietitian, to debunk the myths around macronutrients, break down why balance is the key (not extremes), and show you how to fuel your body for strength, muscle gain, and wellness, without the guilt.
We get into why carbs are essential for muscle recovery, the truth about protein, and why skipping meals or obsessing over perfect nutrition is just setting you up for burnout. Christina drops some major knowledge on why the “dimmer” approach to nutrition is way more effective than thinking you have to be perfect. Plus, we talk about how to get back on track when life throws you off course.
Christina Chu is a nutrition expert, performance coach, and speaker, and she’s all about helping women fuel their bodies for long-term health, strength, and confidence. If you're tired of the quick fixes and want to build a sustainable routine, this episode is a must-listen!
