EPISODE 014: How did you transition to intuitive eating from macro tracking? With Lexus Gordon
In this episode of the More Mindful podcast, Julia interviews Lexus Gordon, a macro coach and nutrition expert, about her transformative journey from macro tracking to intuitive eating.
Lexus shares her struggles with disordered eating, the impact of societal pressures on body image, and how she discovered the power of macros.
If you’ve ever looked at someone who “seems to have it all together” and felt like that could never be you - this is a conversation you do not want to miss. Lexus opens up so vulnerably about her past with food and how the pressure of high school and the desire for thinness and being skinny pushed her into drug abuse and a reliance on unhealthy tools to remain in a body “deemed worthy” by others (which I just know that so many of us can deeply relate to).
Her story is one of self discovery and learning to ask the question “what really makes me truly happy?” and then making the choices necessary to get there instead of remaining in the bubble of doing what others expect.
The conversation delves into the importance of mindset, self-trust, and the tools necessary for a successful transition to intuitive eating.
One of the highlights of the episodes includes Lexus describing what it means to be a student of what you desire to have and allowing yourself to be bad at something before expecting yourself to know what the heck you’re doing (especially when it’s brand new!!) - she shares how this was precisely her approach to getting unassisted pull-ups and making sourdough bread at home, and Julia shares more about her recent experiences with being bad at tennis and adopting this same student mentality
Lexus emphasizes the significance of journaling and self-reflection in understanding one's relationship with food and personal goals.
You do not want to miss the conversation they have at the end, leaving listeners with mindset homework that has the potential to truly shift the way you think - for good.
