On this episode, Tracy interviews local McDonald’s owner David Costa Jr., who has been in the business since age 23 and now operates 19 restaurants with his father. They discuss an unusual partnership in which David offered to pay for Stay Fit Mom macro coaching for any managers who chose to participate, emphasizing the program was based on effort and adherence rather than weight-loss results. Some participants lost 25+ pounds and reported life-changing mindset and health improvements. David explains the goal is 360-degree employee support—helping staff thrive at home and work—while reinforcing a balanced lifestyle where fast food can fit in moderation. He also shares upcoming projects including a new Panama City Beach location, a leadership book about getting “unstuck,” and his wife’s Costa Union Club concept.

Tracy sits down with Maria Beach, a Marek Health nurse practitioner, to talk about why women need to stop guessing about their health and start advocating for answers. They cover comprehensive lab work, why “normal” results don’t always tell the whole story, thyroid health, perimenopause and HRT, GLP-1s, supplements, common deficiencies, creatine, stress, and more. Maria shares practical insight on using both lab results and symptoms to better understand your health and make informed decisions.
