Ep. 35 | Macros for Women Over 40: What They Are and Why They Matter for Your Health

Macros. Everyone's talking about them. But what are they actually? And why should you care — especially right now?

If you've been confused by the term, overwhelmed by the numbers, or unsure why any of it matters for your health, this episode is your starting point. No jargon. No complicated math. Just a clear explanation of what macronutrients are and why getting them right can change how you feel, how your body functions, and how you manage your health long-term.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • What macronutrients are — protein, carbohydrates, and fats — and what each one does in your body

  • Why all three macros are essential — and why eliminating any of them creates problems, not solutions

  • How macros are vital to your overall health — from energy and brain function to hormone production, immune support, and cellular repair

  • Why balancing your macros helps prevent chronic illness — including heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction

  • How macros specifically help women managing diabetes and menopause — and why getting the balance right matters more in midlife than at any other stage

  • Why understanding macros gives you a framework for eating that's flexible, sustainable, and personalized to your body

This is the foundation. Once you understand what macros are and why they matter, everything else — how much protein to eat, why you need carbs, which fats to choose — makes a lot more sense.

This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 who keeps hearing about macros and wants to finally understand what they are, why they matter, and how they connect to her health right now. This is the place to start.
