We talk about structured macros, stepping away from tracking, and a balanced approach that honors both your physiology and your relationship with food.I also explain how leptin, ghrelin, and hunger signaling shift after prep and why intense hunger or rapid weight gain doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.This is for the competitor who wants to recover with intention, not fear.

Especially in fitness and bodybuilding. In this episode, I talk about how people pleasing quietly shaped my training, food choices, recovery, and even my identity as an athlete and coach.I share how this pattern shows up in high-performing women, why it’s so hard to recognize while you’re in it, and how it can lead to burnout, disconnection, and unsustainable results, even when everything looks good on the outside.This conversation is an invitation to slow down, look deeper, and ask whether you’re training for alignment or approval.If you care about your physique and your long-term health, this one’s for you.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_ashtonmabe
