MacroHabits Podcast

TGIF GALS! Today I’m joined by Paulina Hefferan for SUCH a good conversation about fitness, motherhood, body image, and what it actually takes to build a physique you can maintain long-term.
Paulina shares her full story- from growing up being bullied and starting her own weight loss journey, to becoming a personal trainer, business owner, and mom. We talk about how her relationship with fitness and food has evolved over the years, what postpartum recovery looked like for her, and why strength training + a sustainable routine are still the foundation of everything she does.
Paulina also opens up about her breast implant journey, experiencing breast implant illness, being diagnosed with lupus at 22, deciding to explant, and ultimately making the decision to get implants again! I hope you guys enjoy!! xoxo

Grab your coffee and come hangout with meeee! We have A LOT to catch up on in today’s solo episode!! How I manage to hit 150g of protein while traveling, a girls weekend in Laguna Beach, getting my place back in order, current random favorites, my PRF treatment, hair updates + more. Then we’re getting into your submissions and Q&A. We’re talking about balancing a long distance relationship without abandoning your own goals, the difference between making healthy sacrifices for a relationship vs. losing yourself in one, period weight gain vs. actual fat gain, and how to tell if you genuinely need a deload week or you’re just feeling unmotivated. Plus, I’m sharing something I do every week to improve my physique, something I’ve actually STOPPED doing that has made me feel better, and the goals I’m currently working toward that have absolutely nothing to do with the way my body looks.

TGIF GALS! Feeling stuck even though you’re doing everything “right”? In this solo episode, we’re breaking down what a true plateau actually is and what to do when your progress stalls- from auditing your adherence and understanding TDEE to adjusting your macros, reverse dieting, progressive overload, and knowing the difference between a weight-loss plateau and a physique plateau. I also cover the sneaky things that can mask progress, why eating less isn’t always the answer, how carbs and fats can impact performance, and how long is too long to stay in a deficit. Plus, a little life update on navigating negativity online, my thyroid ultrasound, and moreee <3

Diet culture has made us feel like we have to pick a side: either love your body exactly as it is OR have a goal to change it. But I don’t think those two things are mutually exclusive. In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the conversation around diet culture, fat loss, macro tracking, and why wanting to change your physique does not mean you hate your body. We’re talking about the difference between structure and restriction, why I believe you can’t hate yourself into your dream body, and how having goals for yourself can come from a place of self-love, not punishment. I’m also sharing my own experience with tracking macros, how it completely changed the way I understand portions and fueling, and why eating “healthy” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re eating for your goals. You’re allowed to want fat loss AND love your body. You’re allowed to have structure without restriction. And you’re allowed to have physique goals without letting them consume your life.
