Episode Summary
On this episode of Stay Fit Mom podcast, Tracy interviews Coach Cassie (Krista’s sister), a Stay Fit Mom coach since 2020, mom of three, and an OBGYN ultrasound tech, about her health journey with macros, CrossFit, Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism, and lupus (SLE). Cassie explains how autoimmune disease and chronic inflammation led to slow weight-loss progress despite consistent macro tracking, and shares her mindset shift that time will pass anyway. Cassie discusses why she initially resisted GLP-1s, how her rheumatologist supported it, and how GLP-1s reduced food noise and helped inflammation while she still tracks macros, emphasizing “macros before meds.” She also shares observations from women’s health about gaps in nutrition and hormone education, and ends with favorite book recommendations.
