Are carbs the enemy? Is fat making you fat? Should you be eating more protein? In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and giving you the real, root-cause-based breakdown of what macronutrients actually do for your body—and why you need all three for optimal health.

Host by me, Brandee Hommerding, a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and diet culture dropout, I am explaining why your body needs carbs, protein, and fat, and how you can create balanced meals without fear, guilt, or food rules. This isn’t about counting macros! It’s about understanding them.

In this episode:

• What macronutrients are (and how they’re different from micronutrients)
• Why carbs are your body’s preferred fuel, not something to fear
• The truth about protein deficiencies and how protein supports hormones, muscles, and metabolism
• How fat fuels satiety, hormone health, and vitamin absorption
• A simple campfire analogy to understand digestion and energy from food
• Why balanced meals = better energy, mood, and hunger regulation
