from Ruth Mac Fit Podcast · host Ruth MacIntyre
This is an episode for those of you feeling like there's always another health rule to follow.Protein. Fibre. Ultra-processed foods. Morning routines. Supplements. Strength training. Walking after every meal. It can feel like healthy living has become one endless to-do list.In this episode, I'm exploring why so many of us feel overwhelmed by health advice, how social media turns sensible recommendations into all-or-nothing rules, and why somebody else's optimal doesn't have to become your minimum.We'll talk about:Why protein has become such a hot topic (and what the research actually says)How social media strips away context from health adviceWhy "good enough" is often better than chasing perfectThe simple filter I use before taking on another piece of health adviceHow to build a healthier lifestyle that actually fits your real lifeLinks mentioned in this episodeCalorie & Protein CalculatorRuth Mac Fit websiteFollow me on InstagramA note on joining the membership:Coaching is currently open, with doors closing in on 1st August before our next intake begins in September.Find more info on the membership via the website.
