Are you still chasing your Apple Watch rings or tracking every step and sweat session just to feel like you’ve “earned” your food?

This episode is your invitation to pause.

In part two of her macro mini-series, Shaela unpacks the problem with the “calories out” obsession. From fitness trackers that mislead you to metabolism shifts you can’t control, she reveals the science behind why calorie burn isn’t the gold standard for progress—and how it can become a spiritual stronghold.

• The deeper spiritual danger of trying to “burn it off” as a form of control

• A fresh, gospel-centered mindset around fueling your body with grace—not guilt
