In this episode of The Best You Podcast, Nick sits down with Katie Hardie, Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, FDN Practitioner, and founder of My PEAK—a company that helps performance-driven individuals optimize their energy, nutrition, and body composition using personalized, data-driven strategies.

Katie explains how your metabolic type plays a major role in determining which foods fuel you best, how hungry you feel, and how stable your energy is throughout the day. She dives into how macronutrient ratios, hormone balance, and lifestyle all interact to affect metabolism—and shares how you can finally get clarity on what your body actually needs.
