Just a HUGE shout out of respect to these mothers/grandmothers that can deadlift well over their bodyweight for not 1RMs, but for sets and reps and taking what life throws at them and sticking with it!

Not that my in studio clients and my nutrition coaching only clients haven't already heard this from me...I Googled the question, "What are the negative results from not macronutrient eating?"

The single largest mistake people make when attempting to improve their body composition is calling it weightloss or weightgain and then from there not eating via a unique macronutrient profile geared toward them and their specific goals.

You primarily have two choices to achieve this:

1. Self meal prep using a scale, measuring cups and spoons. This is more time consuming, but also the most economical way.

2. Pay an outside source to build your meals and have them delivered to you. Less time consuming, but also more expensive. Ideal for the busier financial successful individual.

BOTH are WORTH IT!

Anything else is just fooling yourself AND not only negatively impacts your goals, but also usually leads or makes worse the main American diseases of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

Wendy Smith Baker at her heaviest was 242 lbs. and well over 50% bodyfat.

Today her Inbody scan shows 144.7 lbs., a steady and consistent drop in bodyfat down to 33% ALL while building and/or maintaining lean muscle tissue along the way...AT 63 YEARS YOUNG!

If your weightloss journey is NOT prioritizing building or at least maintaining lean muscle tissue along the way, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

Protein is having a moment. In fact, it might just be having a decade. This is more than throwing back protein shakes after a lift. It’s more than fitting in that power bar between errands. Protein has become the star of the show when it comes to nutrition, and it has a seat at the table in the di...

When most people think about muscle, they picture aesthetics; toned arms, sculpted shoulders, six-pack abs. But the truth is, muscle is one of your body’s most vital health assets. It's not just about how you look; it's about how well your body functions.

Let's break down why building and maintaining muscle is key to your overall health, performance, and longevity.

Muscle is Metabolically Active
Muscle isn’t just passive tissue, it’s a glucose-regulating powerhouse. The leaner muscle you have, the better your body can manage blood sugar levels and insulin response. Muscle helps lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It also plays a major role in reducing inflammation and improving body composition. Unlike fat, muscle burns calories at rest, meaning it boosts your resting metabolic rate, the amount of energy (calories) your body uses to maintain basic bodily functions and perform physical activity.

Muscle Strengthens the Brain, Too
The benefits of muscle go beyond the physical. Resistance training increases levels of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a compound that supports memory, learning, and mood regulation. Muscle strength is linked to better cognitive performance, especially as we age, and studies show that consistent resistance training reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. Strong body, strong mind.

Protects Joints, Bones & Balance
As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass. It’s a process called sarcopenia, which begins as early as your 30’s. Without resistance training, it accelerates, leading to loss of mobility, balance, and independence. Muscle protects your joints and bones, making everyday movement safer and more efficient. It reduces the risk of falls, fractures, and other mobility-related injuries. Strength training can also improve bone density, lowering the risk of osteoporosis.

While building muscle supports heart and metabolic health, it’s also important to look beyond traditional markers like total cholesterol or BMI. Consider asking your healthcare provider for tests like apolipoprotein B (apoB) and lipoprotein(a), which provide a more accurate picture of cardiovascular risk than a standard lipid panel alone. If you have a family history of heart disease, you may need to work harder to offset a genetic predisposition. That’s not discouragement, that’s empowerment.

More Muscle, Less Risk
Think of muscle as long-term health insurance. Research shows that higher muscle mass is associated with:

1. Lower all-cause mortality.
2. Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic illness.
3. Improved outcomes in recovery from surgery, illness, and injury.

Muscle is more than what we see in the mirror. It’s functional strength, metabolic stability, and protective power for every system in your body.

Keep lifting, keep fueling, and keep honoring your body!
