    How to Stay Grounded When the World Feels Chaotic

    What if the pressure you feel is not about poor time management, but about trying to operate from an old relationship with time that no longer fits who you are becoming? In this episode of The Energetically Efficient Show, Kristin and her sister Lindsay explore expansion and contraction in time, protecting your energy in a divided world, redefining productivity, parenting in a full season of life, and leading from the heart instead of pressure. A grounded, honest conversation about alignment, intuition, and building the new without burning out. Together, they explore what it means to protect your energy during divisive times, process emotion without bypassing it, and lead from alignment rather than urgency. They also talk about parenting teens during a sweet and fleeting season, navigating entrepreneurship while honoring family priorities, and experimenting with nutrition and fasting without self-judgment. If you have been sensing that your old systems no longer fit, or feeling both expansion and contraction at once, this conversation offers grounding perspective and a reminder that true efficiency begins with energetic alignment.

    Why So Many Women Feel “Off” in Perimenopause (And What Actually Helps)

    Ever feel like everyone online suddenly became a hormone expert and now you’re more confused than when you started? In this episode of the Energetically Efficient Show, Kristin is joined again by her close friend Laura Schara for a deeply honest, nuanced conversation about perimenopause, hormone replacement therapy, and navigating midlife health without fear or misinformation. They share their personal perimenopausal journeys, discuss why individualized hormone care matters, and explain why tools like comprehensive hormone testing (not just a single blood draw) can make all the difference. You’ll also hear surprising connections between estrogen and hearing health, why progesterone can be life-changing for sleep (or anxiety-provoking for some) and why strength training becomes non-negotiable as women age. Tune in to hear: Why perimenopause feels like the “Wild West” of women’s health right nowThe truth about bioidentical hormones and why old studies caused decades of fearWhy a single blood test doesn’t tell the full hormone storyHow estrogen impacts hearing, balance, and long-term brain healthThe role of progesterone in sleep, anxiety, and nervous system regulationWhy hormone therapy must be individualized (and never cookie-cutter)How insulin resistance, muscle loss, and metabolism shift in midlifeWhy strength training is essential for aging wellWhat women should know about estrogen, testosterone, and long-term heart healthHow to advocate for yourself when working with hormone practitionersResources mentioned: Loop Earplugs: https://us.loopearplugs.com/ SoundGear Earplugs: https://soundgear.com/M4 cream from Alloy: https://www.myalloy.com/solutions/m4Hunting France: https://www.hunting-france.com/en/Quicksilver Scientific Facial Beauty Serum: https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/products/facial-beauty-serumCopper GHK+ Facial Serum: https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/products/copper-ghk-facial-serum-with-cycloastragenol?_pos=2&_psq=gh&_ss=e&_v=1.0Connect with Dr. Jamie @doctorfitandfabulous on IGWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@energeticallyefficient Connect with Kristin: Work with Kristin: https://energeticallyefficient.com/book-now/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristin_rowell_ Website: https://energeticallyefficient.com/

    Why Eating More Protein Isn’t Enough for Fat Loss and Muscle Gain

    Are you wasting money on protein products that don’t work? In this episode of the, Kristin breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in fitness and nutrition: how to actually build lean muscle and lose body fat at the same time. If you’ve been told to “just eat more protein” but still feel confused about why your body isn’t changing, this episode explains what most protein products, bars, and diets completely miss which is the role of essential amino acids, leucine, and muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Kristin explains why not all protein sources are created equal and why many highly marketed protein bars and plant-based blends fail to stimulate muscle growth at all, no matter how “clean” or “natural” they sound. Tune in to hear: What essential amino acids are and why your body cannot survive without themWhy muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is the key driver of fat loss and muscle gainThe role of leucine and the science behind the leucine thresholdHow much protein you actually need per meal to stimulate muscle growthWhy spreading protein intake throughout the day matters more than total daily proteinThe difference between animal-based and plant-based protein sources for muscle buildingWhy collagen, plant blends, and low-protein bars often fail for body recompositionHow many times per day you should aim to stimulate muscle protein synthesisKristin’s real-world bodybuilding experiment that led to gaining lean muscle while losing fatWhy the scale often lies and what body composition changes really look likeJoin this round of Radiant Reset Bodyhealth Perfect Aminos: Get 20% off your first purchase with code GOLDEN20 Kion Aminos: Get 10% with code GOLDEN https://getkion.com/ Article referenced: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10767222/ Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@energeticallyefficient Connect with Kristin: Work with Kristin: https://energeticallyefficient.com/book-now/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristin_rowell_ Website: https://energeticallyefficient.com/
