In response to an influencer who claimed “Dietitians aren’t focused on nutrients, they focus on macros”....
1. This doesn’t even make sense.... in fact, they are called macroNUTRIENTS
2. If weight loss were just about hitting your protein and carbs…my clients wouldn’t be sitting across from me crying about the comments they heard when they were 12.
Macros don’t unpack the moment your mom told you you were “getting big.”
Macros don’t teach you how to stop eating at night because it’s the only quiet moment you get.
Macros don’t rebuild a metabolism that’s been punished by decades of dieting.
Macros don’t heal the part of you that believes you’ll fail again because you’ve failed so many times before.
But in my sessions?
Women tell the truth they’ve held in for years:
“I eat because food was my comfort growing up.”
“I’m scared to eat more because every diet taught me the opposite.”
“I’ve been the caretaker for everyone… and now my body I feel like $hit.”
“I don’t even know who I am outside of being a mom.”
“Losing weight feels so unattainable, I can’t ever imagine what that me feels like.”
THIS is the real work.
The deep emotional layers.
The nervous system.
The metabolism.
The habits.
The identity shifts.
The childhood conditioning.
The stuff that’s been shaping your relationship with food long before you ever downloaded MyFitnessPal.
So no… this career isn’t “just a piece of paper.”
And weight loss isn’t “just macros.”
It’s science, psychology, and a whole lot of healing.
