Are you still chasing your Apple Watch rings or tracking every step and sweat session just to feel like you’ve “earned” your food?

This episode is your invitation to pause.

In part two of her macro mini-series, Shaela unpacks the problem with the “calories out” obsession. From fitness trackers that mislead you to metabolism shifts you can’t control, she reveals the science behind why calorie burn isn’t the gold standard for progress—and how it can become a spiritual stronghold.

💬 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why fitness trackers are off by up to 45% (and how that impacts your results)
• How sleep, stress, and hormones influence your metabolism more than you realize
• The deeper spiritual danger of trying to “burn it off” as a form of control
• A fresh, gospel-centered mindset around fueling your body with grace—not guilt
• The connection between your weight history and how your body burns calories now

💡 If you’ve ever believed that more cardio = more progress, this episode will bring freedom and clarity.

🧭 Next week, Shaela reveals the grace-based strategy she uses with clients to nourish, not punish.
