Ep 101: When Macros Aren’t Enough: The Gap Most Coaches Hit
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Macros work. You still teach them. You still believe in them. But if you’ve coached long enough, you’ve probably hit the point where macros stop explaining what’s happening with your clients. In this episode, we’re talking about the moment many coaches experience but rarely say out loud. Clients are compliant, tracking, training, and consistent… and results still stall. Energy drops. PMS worsens. Bloating shows up. And suddenly the tools that once worked feel incomplete. This isn’t a discipline problem or a mindset issue. It’s a physiology and systems issue. In this conversation, I break down why this gap happens, where most coaches go wrong when they hit it, and the missing skill set that allows you to coach with confidence instead of guessing. What You’ll Learn Why macros eventually stop explaining client results The common patterns behind stalled fat loss, hormonal symptoms, and low energy Why adding more restriction or cardio often backfires The biggest misconceptions coaches have about functional nutrition How functional nutrition complements macros instead of replacing them What actually builds confidence when client cases get complex This episode is for you if you are: A macro coach who feels like something is missing Working with women in perimenopause or with complex symptoms Tired of guessing when clients plateau Wanting to stay evidence-based without being rigid Ready to understand the “why” behind client responses This episode is not for: Coaches looking for quick fixes or plug-and-play protocols Anyone wanting to skip foundations Coaches who don’t want to think critically about physiology Mentioned in This Episode Functional Nutrition Coaching Certification (FNC) Hormones, gut health, stress physiology, and blood chemistry patterns The difference between reacting to symptoms and understanding systems Ready to Go Deeper? If you’ve felt that ceiling with macros, this is exactly why Functional Nutrition Coaching exists. FNC teaches coaches how to connect symptoms, labs, and nutrition into real coaching decisions. You don’t stop being a macro coach. You become a more effective one.
