What happens when being "mom" becomes your only identity? When your family patterns of casseroles,cigarettes, and early death are the only path you've seen? In this coach spotlight, Mary Beth Champernoune shares her raw journey from losing herself in motherhood to reclaiming her health—and why setting boundaries, not willpower, was the game-changer.
In this episode, we meet Coach Brittany Suplicki. Listen to her as she tells us about how she works with clients and the tips she gives on how to be successful in dieting.
In this episode of Macros Inc Live, we explore the concept of personal agency—what it really means, why so many people feel like it’s slipping away, and how modern life, convenience, and constant noise can quietly erode our ability to make intentional choices. We break down the difference between control and agency, explain why waiting on motivation often gives away responsibility, and discuss how agency shows up in everyday decisions around health, habits, time, and identity. Most importantly, we talk through practical, realistic ways to reclaim agency without overwhelm, reinforcing the idea that lasting change doesn’t come from perfect systems or external pressure, but from consistently choosing to act—even when it’s uncomfortable or imperfect.
In this episode of Macros Inc Live, we break down what genetics actually influence when it comes to weight loss, and what they don’t. More importantly, we explain why blaming genetics often becomes the biggest roadblock to consistency and long-term success.
Why do we age—and can we actually slow it down?

We cover how nutrition, strength training, sleep, and lifestyle habits impact both lifespan and healthspan—and what actually matters (and what doesn’t) when it comes to aging well.
When life hits hard and everything goes off the rails, it can feel impossible to start again. In this episode, we break down what really happens when you fall off track, why it’s not your fault, and how to rebuild your habits, confidence, and momentum one small win at a time. If you’ve been struggling with consistency, burnout, or feeling like you’ve “lost yourself,” this is the conversation you need. Tune in and learn how to begin again — without guilt, shame, or perfection.

In this episode of Macros Inc Live, we dive into the idea of building an identity that goes far beyond the numbers on a scale or the calories in your tracker.

We’ll explore how childhood beliefs, cultural messages, and fitness culture shape identity, and more importantly, how you can reframe those beliefs to create lasting change.
In this follow-up to our original GLP-1 episode, we revisit the conversation around Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro with fresh updates as of September 29.

If you're using GLP-1s, considering them, or coaching clients who are, this episode breaks down how to integrate them into real life with intention, strategy, and long-term success in mind.
In this episode of Macros Inc Live, we tackle one of the biggest myths in fitness: that hormones like insulin resistance, menopause, or “imbalances” make weight loss impossible. Brad and Dylan break down what the science actually says, why it often feels like hormones are the problem, and how to focus on the lifestyle factors you can control. If you’ve ever felt like your body is fighting against you, this conversation will bring clarity, evidence, and practical steps forward.
