Is macro tracking hiding the real reason you're stuck? What if ditching calorie counting helped you lose more fat, without the burnout?

I’m joined by Christina McClurken (aka Your Healthy Bestie), a former physical therapist turned functional nutritionist. She shares her system that helps burned-out dieters lose fat without logging every gram.

Christina McClurken is a functional nutritionist specializing in women's metabolic health.
