Micronutrients: A Deep Dive
If it fits your macros, you’re tracking calories, protein, carbs, and fat. But what about everything else your body needs to feel good? In this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, we’re diving deep into the other side of nutrition: Micronutrients. These are the vitamins, minerals, and lesser-known essentials that won’t directly change your weight, but absolutely impact your energy, digestion, mental clarity, recovery, sleep, and more. We cover the most common deficiencies, what these nutrients actually do inside your body, how to tell if you're getting enough, and what to prioritize. Because you can hit your macros and still feel like garbage, and we’re here to fix that.
