004: Do whole foods matter if I'm hitting my macros? with Dani Patton

Quick note: The audio for this episode is a little glitchy (which sucks!!) BUT the episode is so worth the listen so I couldn't bear to not share it with all of you, and I hope you'll still hit play!! Have you ever wondered if you still need to care about whole foods if you’re tracking macros?Lots of diets like Whole30, Noom, and Weight Watchers assign value to “good and bad foods” encouraging whole foods, but with macro counting, you may wonder if fruits and vegetables matter if you’re hitting your macros with processed food!Well I’m here to discuss it! This week, Dani Patton joins me to talk all about macros and wellness and whole foods when it comes to putting together a diet that feels really good and feels really sustainable. We cover: Dani’s discovery of macro counting and why she believes macro tracking works for results and long-term healthHow she approaches whole foods in her dietIf we really should cut out all sugar and seed oilsHow whole foods played a role in her fertility journey last yearIf an 80/20 lifestyle is superior to othersHow to approach health when you’re just starting outThe power of maintenance (we both had major breakthroughs here)How she’s approached macros during her pregnancy Dani’s new macro course for moms & pregnant womenThis episode is a 10/10 and a conversation I enjoyed thoroughly. 🏆 Apply for the 2026 Mother's Day Scholarship (win 3 months of free coaching, valued at $1350!)
