I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, as I have an intention for this year to trust my intuition—especially today, as I just finished a coaching session with my Habit coach Jae. Before and during, I downloaded the Habit app and was guided and encouraged every step of the way. And the app continues to be helpful—it’s where I now go to reference my results and get personalized meal ideas and coaching support, whenever I want! It’s a holistic approach to nutrition. I’m learning things about my body that I didn’t know before, like that I should cut back on the amount of coffee I’m drinking because one of my biomarkers shows that I may metabolize caffeine more slowly. I also learned that I’m a “Range Seeker,” which means that my body can be flexible with carbs, fats, and protein and that I should aim for an average of 50 percent of my calories from carbs, 30 percent from fat, and 20 percent from protein. I was also surprised to learn that my body loves carbs, and I’ve adjusted my diet since, embracing them with less guilt thanks to the data to support this sound decision. An even bigger surprise? The peace of mind I have with the choices I’m now making about my diet!
