Episode 31: Zan Ruhl ON Using Macros To Heal Your Relationship With Food & Eating Habits
In this episode, the CEO of The Habyt, Zan Ruhl, and I talk all about macronutrients and how it can be a tool to support women in improving their relationship with food, eating and their body. Given the conflicting opinions about tracking macronutrients, I felt it was important to have an honest dialogue about its pros and cons so that you can make informed and empowered decisions as to whether or not it might be a practice that is supportive to you on your journey.
We discuss…
- What the term “macro” means and how it differs from dieting
- Zan’s personal journey with binging and weight loss
- How restriction fuels binging, and why eating more calories and carbs is key
- How you can learn to just eat some of your favorite foods (without willpower)
- Why mental health is the most important factor in determining if macro counting could be a useful tool for you
About Zan Ruhl:
Zan Ruhl is the CEO and Coach at The Habyt, a high touch, habit based, macronutrient focused nutrition program for women. After years of weight gain and feeling like she was living in a body that was not her own, she decided it was time to regain her health and confidence back, intentionally. As she dove into her studies of what healthy living meant to her, she discovered the beauty and flexibility of living a macro-based lifestyle.
Through her personal journey, she knew it was her calling to help those with similar issues. While completing her masters, Zan worked at an eating disorder clinic, where she learned that the mental journey is oftentimes more important than the physical. The Habyt program is designed into four distinct sections that cover education, mindset makeover, habit building and sustainability.
