Questions from listeners regarding why my doctor talks about “balancing my macronutrients”, what difference would that make anyway? What are the types of food in a “macro” category? Are any really better than another or can I just eat anything? So what is a micronutrient? Where do they come from? Do I need to supplement my diet?
