Making Good is the podcast of Church Alley—a small business in New Orleans, LA. This podcast talks about all things small business, including nutrition, challenges, and learning from each other. We hope to share information and conversations that empower small business owners to take care of themselves so they can make good on serving their communities. Church Alley opened as a cafe in 2013, serving delicious locally roasted coffee, homemade pastries, and lunch. In 2020, we expanded our offerings by partnering with over a dozen local small businesses looking for new ways to stay in business. We met so many amazing people doing good work and we couldn’t keep the conversations to ourselves! The cafe closed in November 2024. Church Alley continues as a pantry line that can be found around New Orleans and as a small nutrition & habits coaching business. Small business owners face higher rates of autoimmune disease and are more likely to be dyslexic and have ADHD than the general population. This podcast shares good information for small business owners to take care of themselves so they can keep serving.

38- Carbs: The No Good Very Bad Macronutrient, You Really Need
Thursday Feb 20, 2025
Thursday Feb 20, 2025
Welcome to the first episode of my series on Macronutrients!
Many of my clients at Church Alley Nutrition avoid carbs for a dozen reasons that can be read in a women's magazine. The thing is, we NEED carbohydrates to have a healthy life. And most of us don't really know what a carb is, can't pick it out in a grocery aisle, and/or have no idea what they do for our bodies. Hint: Your brain and every single cell in your body NEEDS carbs to function properly.
And that's why I'm doing a series on macronutrients to help us all get the basics of why these nutrients are important, what they are, how much to include in each meal, and where do find them. We get a lot of information thrown out at us online and most of it is junk that only confuses us.
I'm also publishing on Substack, where I go into detail about nutrients, body image, and my research on climate change and autoimmune diseases. You can follow along by clicking here:
