Functional nutrition goes beyond counting calories or following food pyramids. It’s not about rigid food rules or trendy protocols.
It’s about understanding how food affects your body at a systems level — your hormones, gut, metabolism, nervous system, and immune response — and using that information to make targeted, sustainable decisions.
In this episode, I break down what functional nutrition actually is, what it is not, and why so many people stay stuck when they focus on food choices without understanding physiology.
If you’ve ever done “all the right things” and still felt off, this conversation will help connect the dots.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
What functional nutrition really means (without the fluff)
How it differs from calorie counting or generalized nutrition advice
Why two people can eat the same way and have very different outcomes
How symptoms, labs, and intake data work together
Why food alone isn’t always the fix — but it’s always part of the picture

Connection beats perfection. • Over-educating on Stories can overwhelm your audience and halt the buying process. • Story sequences work best when they mimic real conversations, not presentations. • The C.A.S.H.™ Framework is designed for how people consume content and make decisions in 2026.
C.A.S.H.™ Framework Workshop: If your Story views are there but your sales are quiet, it’s time to update your approach. Join the workshop where we’ll break down the full C.A.S.H.™ Framework and teach you how to build Story sequences that convert.

Episode Summary
Most coaches rush clients straight into a deficit and then wonder why fat loss stalls, biofeedback tanks, or consistency falls apart. In this episode, we break down why maintenance is the real starting line for an effective fat loss phase, and why 4-6 weeks at maintenance sets the entire cut up for success. If your clients struggle to lose fat (or stay consistent), this simple shift changes everything.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why fat loss doesn’t start with slashing calories • The purpose and power of a 4 - 6 week maintenance phase • What happens physiologically during maintenance and why it matters • The key habits you need to solidify before dropping macros • What coaches should be assessing during the prep window • The mindset reframes that help clients buy into this process • How to know when a client is actually ready for a deficit
Takeaways
• Maintenance is the metabolic warm-up every successful cut needs. • A stable body responds faster and more predictably to a deficit. • Consistency at maintenance fixes tracking drift, stabilizes hunger, and improves training quality. • Most “slow fat loss” issues are actually “poor prep” issues. • When you prep well, clients lose faster, retain more muscle, and stall less.
What You Should Assess Before Cutting:
• Energy, hunger, sleep, digestion, stress • Training recovery and performance • Tracking accuracy and routine stability • Consistency across the full week • Emotional readiness and lifestyle patterns
If you want deeper guidance on programming fat loss phases, adjusting macros, and coaching clients through plateaus, this is exactly what we train inside Macro Mentorship. Learn more through the link in the show notes.

If you’re still coaching macros like they live in a calculator, you’re missing the most important part: your client’s context.
In this episode, Eve breaks down why macros aren’t just numbers ... they’re communication. You’ll learn how to stop treating nutrition coaching like a math problem and start seeing it for what it really is: a conversation between metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle.
This is the episode that will make you rethink how you build macro plans, how you assess client feedback, and how you coach beyond the numbers.
Because macros aren’t math, they’re metabolism. And once you learn to read the body’s signals, you’ll never coach the same way again.
You’ll Learn:
Why macros are more than calories and ratios
How hormones, stress, sleep, and cycle phases affect client response
What “metabolic communication” really means
How to shift from calculator-style coaching to physiology-based coaching
Why client context matters more than perfect numbers
How to coach the person, not just their data
Key Takeaways:
Macros are communication — every adjustment is a signal to the body.
The same macros hit differently depending on stress, sleep, and recovery.
You can’t coach macros in isolation; you have to coach the human.
Great coaches don’t just track numbers — they interpret biofeedback.
This is what separates coaching for results from coaching for understanding.
Power Quote from Eve:
Macros are communication. Every adjustment you make sends a message to the body — and the body always answers. The question is: are you listening?

Everyone glamorizes working from home as a coach; the freedom, the flexibility, the dream schedule. But no one talks about how quiet it can get.
In this episode, Eve gets real about the loneliness that comes with working from home as a fitness or nutrition coach. You can coach twenty clients a day and still feel completely alone—because messages aren’t connection. And when the lines between work and life blur, that “dream schedule” can start to feel heavy fast.
Eve breaks down why this loneliness is normal, what’s changed since 2020, and how to rebuild real connection in 2025, both online and off.
TOPICS:
How the online space has shifted since 2020 and why connection feels different now
Why isolation hits service-based coaches harder than most
How the “freedom” of working from home can quietly turn into disconnection
The real signs you’re slipping into loneliness (and what your body’s trying to tell you)
Simple strategies to create more structure and connection in your day
What Eve personally does to stay grounded and avoid the “alone but always online” spiral
Feeling lonely working from home doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or broken—it means you’re human. Your nervous system was never designed to live, work, and connect solely through a screen.

If you’ve ever wanted to shake a client and say, “Just trust me... eat more food!”… this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, Eve breaks down one of the toughest truths in coaching: You can’t convince your clients to eat more, stop dieting, or change habits they’re not ready to release. Because real change doesn’t happen through convincing, it happens through readiness and self-accountability.
Eve shares why logic doesn’t override fear, how to recognize when a client isn’t ready to change, and how to shift from pushing harder to coaching smarter. This is your reminder that you’re not failing as a coach, you’re working with real humans who need more than macros and motivation.
You’ll Learn:
Why fear of change often trumps facts and data
How diet trauma and “chronic deficit” thinking keep clients stuck
What readiness to change really looks like (and how to assess it)
The difference between carrying your client’s accountability and coaching it
Practical ways to guide resistant clients toward trust and consistency
Why your job isn’t to “fix” clients — it’s to help them find clarity and ownership
Key Takeaways:
You can’t push clients into readiness; you help them build it.
Self-accountability is a skill not a trait and it has to be practiced.
Convincing doesn’t create compliance. Clarity does.
Clients don’t change when they understand what to do they change when they understand why it matters to them.
As a coach, your boundaries and systems protect both your energy and your impact.
Quote from Eve:
“Logic doesn’t override lived experience. Fear is louder than facts. You can’t convince clients to change, you can only meet them where they are and guide them toward their own evidence.”

Macros work… until they don’t. Every coach has had that client who does everything “right”—hitting macros, workouts, steps, and water—yet the fat loss just won’t happen. Most coaches respond by cutting calories lower, but that’s often the wrong move.
In this episode, Eve breaks down the real reasons fat loss stalls even when the math looks perfect, including metabolic adaptation, hormone imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies, and gut health issues. You’ll learn what to look for, how labs can uncover hidden barriers, and how to shift your coaching approach so you stop losing frustrated clients and start building long-term trust.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why “eat less, move more” isn’t enough for chronic dieters
The science of metabolic adaptation and how it halts fat loss
How thyroid, cortisol, and estrogen/progesterone shifts impact body composition
The role of nutrient deficiencies and gut health in fat loss resistance
When to reverse diet, support stress and sleep, or correct nutrient gaps before lowering calories again
How using labs (Blood Chemistry, DUTCH, GI-MAP) gives you the tools to troubleshoot effectively
The business advantage of going beyond macros: higher retention, referrals, and authority as a coach

Macros work—until they don’t. If you’ve ever had a client who tracks perfectly but still can’t break through a plateau, you know the frustration. Lowering calories and adding more cardio only go so far. The truth? It’s not always about the macros.
In this episode, I share why your clients actually want lab testing, how hormone health changes everything, and why integrating labs into your coaching can take you from guessing coach to trusted expert.
You’ll learn:
Why clients want labs (it’s not about the numbers—it’s about clarity and proof).
The hormone red flags most coaches miss that explain stubborn weight, fatigue, and plateaus.
3 lab tests that eliminate guesswork and help you stop second-guessing your strategies.
How to integrate labs + functional nutrition into your coaching without throwing out your macro model.
Why labs raise your credibility and retention and position you as the go-to coach in your niche.
If you’re ready to move beyond macros and start solving the deeper issues that keep clients stuck, this episode is your roadmap.

In this episode of Macros for Life, we sit down with Rose Ryan, founder of Garage Girl Fitness, who’s built a powerhouse brand helping women—from teens to women in their 60s- find strength, confidence, and real results beyond the gym.
With a strong background in personal training, fitness classes, and nutrition, Rose has evolved her approach to focus deeply on women’s hormones, especially during perimenopause and beyond.
Rose shares how carb cycling, smart nutrition strategies, and a deep understanding of hormonal shifts have become game changers for her clients, some of whom have lost nearly 100 pounds under her guidance.
But her story isn’t just about client results.
Rose opens up about how investing in her own education, joining a community of like-minded coaches, and leaning into business mentorship helped her grow from a local fitness coach to a thriving entrepreneur with a mission that’s bigger than macros....so much that she has sold out her personal training & fitness coaching.
What You’ll Learn:
Why perimenopausal women need more than just cookie-cutter macros
How Rose uses carb cycling to adapt and support hormone health
The real mindset shifts that helped her scale her business
What changed when she stopped trying to do it all alone

Macros work. Tracking works. But what if your client is doing everything right — hitting their numbers, getting their steps, training hard — and they’re still bloated, exhausted, or stuck?
In this episode, Eve breaks down why macros might not be the issue… and why they’re not always the full solution. You’ll learn the three major roadblocks that stall progress — even with the perfect macro plan — and how to coach through them like a pro.
What You’ll Learn:
Why more macro math won’t fix chronic fatigue or fat loss plateaus
How stress physiology hijacks results (even in a calorie deficit)
The gut-hormone connection and how it blocks progress
What to look for when macros “should” be working… but aren’t
How to coach beyond food tracking with a functional lens
3 Reasons Why Clients Get Stuck (Even With Perfect Macros):
1️⃣ Stress Trumps Strategy: Cortisol imbalance from under-eating, overtraining, poor sleep, or chronic stress wrecks fat loss, damages muscle, and spikes cravings.
2️⃣ Gut Issues Block Absorption: Low stomach acid, dysbiosis, constipation, and leaky gut reduce nutrient absorption and ramp up inflammation. You can’t fuel change if your gut isn’t absorbing fuel.
3️⃣ Hormone Dysfunction Disrupts Metabolism: Low T3, estrogen dominance, or low progesterone? These hormone imbalances affect how the body uses food, recovers, and stores fat ..... especially in perimenopause.
Coach Tips:
When to hit pause on a deficit and prioritize recovery
How to support digestion with simple, foundational strategies
Why you should track symptoms alongside macros
When to consider lab testing to get the real root cause

Ever been told your labs are “normal”... but you still feel tired, bloated, anxious, wired, or just totally off? You’re not alone. And no .... it’s not all in your head. In this episode, we’re diving into why “normal” labs don’t always mean optimal health.
We’ll talk about the limitations of conventional bloodwork, what those normal ranges actually mean, and how functional testing can reveal the root cause of your symptoms. If you’re sick of being told everything looks fine while your body tells a different story, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
Why "normal" lab ranges often miss early signs of dysfunction
The problem with one-time blood draws (and what they overlook)
How functional labs like the DUTCH test can uncover hidden imbalances
Why your symptoms aren’t just “in your head”.... and what they could mean
A clear path to start getting real answers (hint: it’s not more guessing)
