Being healthy isn’t just about looking good. It’s about feeling good in our bodies, having energy, being around for as long as possible and setting an example for our kids. Food is a huge part of health, and most of the time it feels like achieving it requires us to give up all the foods we love. 

What if we could eat whatever we want, just managed intentionally, so we can still reach our goals? What are macros and why are they an easier way to track our nutrition? 

In this episode, I’m joined by mother-daughter duo, Hilary Downey and Bridget Shinn. They share how their app Body By Hilary makes nutrition less overwhelming and restrictive so you can have that pizza guilt-free!

As a mom, I don’t want my kids to see me constantly at war with food and my body.
