June Goals + The Macronutrient Shift (I Didn’t See Coming)

I'm just as shocked as you are!

Have you ever made a decision that actually changed things?

I’m not talking about the kind you’ve made a hundred times before, where you write, do the thing and feel good for three days, and then quietly let it go. I mean the kind that hits different. The kind that lands differently and where something actually moves.

I’ve spent time trying to understand the difference between the decisions we make to do the thing and those we don’t. I’ve been trying to figure it out for years.

While there may not be a specific formula, I think there is something worth noticing.

The difference between making the decision and sticking with it and making the decision and just talking about it is the willingness to be open to options.

It’s the willingness to be open to options you haven’t considered yet. Even open to the possibility that options exist.

For most of us, myself very much included, we approach change as if it were a straight line. If I walk every day, I’ll lose the weight. If I increase my protein, I’ll build muscle. One decision, one path, one expected outcome.

But life doesn’t move that way.

And neither does your body. As frustrating as it feels, I think this is exactly what you have been looking for.

Last year, I opened up to more possibilities.

And some of these possibilities, I would have flatly rejected two years ago. Things I was sure weren’t for me. Even approaches to health I’d quietly dismissed, like ketosis.

Yet, what I found on the other side of that openness genuinely changed how I feel in my body, not just physically, but in the deep, sustainable, this-is-finally-working kind of way.

I wanted to share that with you because things are finally working.

But first, my June goals. Because I think the way I’m setting them this summer says something important.

My June goals are:

1. Make the good choice, THE EASY CHOICE.

2. Sunshine every day

3. Daily walks

4. See the good in EVERYTHING

5. No AM carbs

6. Slow down

7. Less screen time, MORE PEOPLE TIME

Here’s what I love about this list: I’ve defined what each one means, but I’ve left open how I’ll reach them.

Take walking, for example. The measurement is doing it daily. But when I go, how long I’m out or what it looks like on any given day can vary. That allows me to take control of what doesn’t need to be controlled and let my actual life shape what I need in it. It’s been such a game-changer. Not just for the habit, but for how I feel about the habit.

And that’s the standard I want to invite you into this summer. Start treating your body from a place of respect for what it does for you and what you want it to keep doing. Not punishment or pressure. Just actual care.

Before We Go Deeper…

Truthfully, one of the most underrated metabolism tools I know isn’t a supplement or a diet protocol. It’s something that helps you reach a metabolic state, and that comes back to energy.

The most powerful thing you can do for your body is always, first and foremost, the basic things like sunlight, sleep, and movement.

Before you diet. Before you supplement. Before you make a major life change like quit your job, charge your body battery. Because the charge of your body changes your thoughts.

Which is why I’m pushing you to walk.

I know you’re probably over listening to me talk about it. And it sounds too simple. But here’s what I’ve come to understand: movement, especially consistent daily walking, changes how your body uses food.

It changes your metabolic state by improving insulin sensitivity, it supports your mitochondria, it regulates your nervous system, and it creates the kind of baseline charge in your body that it needs to make every other healthy decision easier to make.

That’s actually why the Summer Walking Club exists.

It’s not really a step competition. It’s not a fitness flex. It’s a 3-month community challenge built around one of the most powerful things you can do for your metabolic health, and doing it together, which research consistently shows makes consistency more likely.

If you haven’t joined yet or if you’ve been on the fence, this is your nudge.

The doors close this Sunday! Come walk with us. Your metabolism will thank you.

Now, to get back to the macronutrient shift I didn’t see coming but I 100% don’t regret, might shock you, but I also hope it inspires you.

The rest of this post includes:

• The big macronutrient shift I made

• What that looks like in my daily life.

• The first real steps to becoming fat adapted

• Five actual breakfast ideas I eat with this macronutrient shift feel completely doable

Is for paid subscribers. If that’s you, keep reading. This is the part I’ve been most excited to share.

The Macronutrient Shift (I Didn’t See Coming)

About halfway through the Summer Walking Club last summer, something shifted.

I started feeling charged. I was energized in a way I hadn’t been in a long time. And with that energy came a kind of determination that helped me realize my diet was the last piece holding me back from feeling truly good in my body.
