(Episode 46) The 3 Nutrition Shifts That Matter Most for Military Spouses (Especially Over 30)
🗓️ Week 6 of the 8-Part Fitness Jumpstart Series
PCS-Proof Podcast | Week 6 Show Notes
We’ve spent the last five weeks talking about fitness, mindset, and consistency in military life. But today, we’re switching gears and diving into one of the most common questions I get from women starting (or restarting) their fitness journey: “What should I actually eat to support my goals?”
In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 key nutrition shifts that matter most for military spouses—especially if you’re over 30 and want to feel strong, energized, and less overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there.
You’ll learn:
Why perfection is not the goal—and what to aim for instead
How to simplify meals with the "Protein + Produce" strategy
Why flexible meal rhythms work better than rigid meal plans
How to eat out (even at Chili’s!) without falling off track
What I actually ate during PCS hotel stays to stay fueled and guilt-free
This episode is packed with realistic, behavior science-backed tips to help you fuel your body without the guilt, the confusion, or the meal plan overwhelm.
