wellness with Alicia
Alicia (health coach, massage therapist, pilates instructor, meat head-hippie) explores a wide range of topics related to women's health, intuitive eating, exercise, life after sport, CrossFit, relationships, mindset, and a whole lot of random, yet seemingly important topics that distracts Alicia in her day to day life. Wellness with Alicia covers these topics in a thoughtful, exploratory, and sometimes comedic format. ie. owning and running a business, finding peace with food and exercise, her current favourite things, and why she can't start her day without a good cup of coffee. Whether it's deep diving into: Body Goals, Fitness Culture, Fat Loss, Health, Food Freedom, Pop Culture, the Dogma of Diet Culture and the Anti-Diet Movement, her love-hate relationship for social media, why she's not sure about having kids and moving to the suburbs, or talking about the ups and downs of starting and running a business as a solopreneur. Alicia aims to talk about heavy topics, light topics, share her own lived experiences, while acknowledging that as someone in her mid 30's, she has a lot to share (so many thoughts, so little time) and a lot to learn! Beyond these topics, Alicia is also a Registered Massage Therapist, Pilates instructor, and has her own online Health Coaching business (Wellness with Alicia) helping women build their physiques without extremes. You can expect Alicia to share her honest struggles as a mid-30-something living in Vancouver, and topics that are taking up way too much brain space. Alicia hopes to bring something a little different to the health and fitness spaces. By speaking about these topics in a unique, conversational, and sometimes humorous way, she hopes to offer up value, provide some education, and perhaps a different point of view.

HOW to transition from macro tracking to intuitive eating
Got a question? Send me a text! :)
In today’s episode, I'm talking about how to shift from tracking macros to eating more intuitively, without throwing away everything you’ve learned about nutrition.
Whether you’re feeling burnt out from tracking, in a new season of life, or just curious about doing things a little differently, this episode will help you make that shift with intention, not panic.
What you can expect to learn:
🔹 What intuitive eating doesn’t mean
Let’s clear this up first — it’s not about chaos, eating on impulse, or losing sight of your health goals.
🔹 What the transition actually looks like
There’s a whole middle ground between all-in tracking and no structure at all. You can still value performance and health while tuning into your hunger, energy, and mood.
🔹 Ways to loosen your grip on full tracking
→ Track just protein and fibre
→ Track Monday to Friday only, etc.
🔹 The power of gentle structure
You don’t need to hit exact macros to eat meals that support you. Building meals around protein & fibre still works, just with less rigidity.
🔹 Using past tracking as a reference, not a rule
You’ve already learned so much from tracking, now it’s about using that knowledge without being chained to it.
🔹 Hunger + fullness check-ins
Simple questions like “Am I actually hungry?” or “How full am I?” can go a long way in building trust with your body.
🔹 Breaking up with ‘f*ck it’ mode
Going off-plan doesn’t mean the day is ruined.
🔹 Cravings, stimulation, and asking what you really need
Sometimes cravings are about food. Sometimes they’re about needing a change. Get curious instead of reactive.
🔹 You can always come back to tracking if needed
This is a flexible approach, not a one-way street. You can blend strategies based on your goals and capacity.
