MacroHabits Podcast

TGIF! She’s got her spark back!!!! Post Christmas catch up, what I’m doing for NYE, & then I dive into this week’s episode… I’m breaking down the habit pyramid- why the smallest, most “unsexy” habits are actually the foundation for lasting results in your health, fitness journey, and life.

How do you stay on track with your health goals while recovering from surgery? For many, recovery brings anxiety about weight gain, muscle loss, or setbacks — sometimes leading to risky choices that can slow healing. In this episode, Hannah kicks off her podcast with one of the number one topics her audience asks questions about. Hannah shares her personal journey through her multiple breast augmentations, including her implant decisions, recovery process, and the strategies she used to maintain her nutrition and fitness goals without compromising healing. You’ll hear practical tips on tracking macros during downtime, preparing for recovery, and making choices that support both your health and your results.
