307 - Muscles Without Macros: How to Build Lean Muscle Without Obsessing Over Numbers

from Crying Burns Calories · host Katy Saltsman

Tracking macros isn’t wrong, but it’s also not required to build muscle, lose fat, or improve your metabolism. In this episode, I explain why so many women get stuck relying on numbers, why that approach often backfires over time, and what actually drives long-term results.You’ll learn how muscle is built, why your body resists change when it's only numbers focused and how to shift toward a system that works with your physiology, not against it.

Sisters Cracking Up Abby Rodman and Julie Howard Any woman in midlife knows the complexities of this time of life have the potential to crack us. Fortunately, there just as many things that crack us up…and keep us sane.We're midlife sisters, psychotherapist Abby Rodman and beauty expert and coach Julie Howard, and we want to talk about all of it. We're with you — commiserating, crying, raging, and, yes, laughing all along the way. And maybe, like us, you've got a sister to share it all with. If you don't, we might just be the sisters you've been looking for. We talk openly, honestly, and (hopefully) humorously about social and psychological topics that really matter like relationships, parenting, careers, aging, stress, sex, health, and mental health.Our goal is to listen, share, understand, enlighten, laugh and, most of all, figure out this crazy time of life together — like sisters.
