In this episode I share my personal journey from a health wake-up call to prepping for fit model competition, focusing on practical nutrition changes that transformed my glucose and A1C levels.I explain macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats), meal timing, the importance of higher protein intake, and how I use MyFitnessPal to track macros, plus why I include one regular treat meal each week.I also give a simple sample day of meals and encourage consulting a coach or nutritionist for individualized plans.

At a national competition the speaker whispered, "I give myself permission to lose," and the weight of expectation fell away, replaced by calm, focus, and clarity.Allowing yourself to lose reframes failure as learning, shifts negative thinking into hopeful possibility, and motivates the small actions that lead to real improvement.Loss becomes an invitation to try again, refine your approach, and grow into the version of yourself you want to be.
