    Doing Postpartum Differently: Rebuilding, Not Bouncing Back with Kim Pelicano

    Postpartum doesn’t have to be a race to get your old body back. In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee sits down with Rooted coach Kim Pelicano to talk honestly about how differently she’s approaching postpartum after baby number three. After feeling pressure to “bounce back” quickly with her first two pregnancies, Kim knew she wanted this season to look different. Instead of jumping into a diet or rushing back into intense training, she’s focused on fueling her body, rebuilding the muscle she lost during pregnancy, prioritizing core rehab, supporting breastfeeding, and giving herself the time to actually recover. She shares the physical changes she’s noticed, but more importantly, the mindset shift that has come from allowing herself to build instead of constantly trying to get smaller. Kaycee and Kim also get into the reality of working with three kids under three, mom guilt, sleep, routines, asking for support, and the systems that make taking care of yourself possible when life feels anything but simple. For moms navigating pregnancy or postpartum, this conversation is a reminder that progress doesn’t require an immediate overhaul. Sometimes the best place to start is eating breakfast, taking a 10-minute walk, and giving yourself permission to build from there. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Pain Isn’t the Whole Story: Moving Better, Recovering Smarter & Staying Active with Dr. Austin Albison

    Pain doesn’t always mean something is damaged—and getting out of pain doesn’t always mean the work is done. In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Dr. Austin Albison, chiropractor and owner of Peak Recovery and Performance, to talk about pain, injury, recovery, and what it actually takes to keep your body moving well. Austin shares how his own experience as a Division I football player led him into the world of rehab and performance, and how his work with everyone from everyday clients to professional golfers has shaped the way he approaches treatment. Rather than focusing only on how much something hurts, his goal is to help people understand what their bodies are still capable of doing—and build from there. They get into the difference between soreness and injury, why complete rest isn’t always the answer, the role movement plays in recovery, and the surprising connection between the brain, emotions, and chronic pain. They also talk about nutrition, injury prevention, and why the best approach isn’t always one specific treatment or modality. Ultimately, this conversation is about learning to trust your body, understand it better, and stop assuming pain automatically means you need to stop doing the things you love. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    You Don’t Get From A to Z With One Method with Angela Felde

    What works in one season of life may not be what gets you through the next. In this episode of The Rooted Method, Rooted coach Angela Felde shares the evolution of her own health and fitness journey—from feeling completely overwhelmed after having twins to the systems, nutrition habits, and training approach she uses today. Angela had always been active, self-motivated, and disciplined. But after ten years of pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing—and suddenly navigating life with six kids—she reached a point where she no longer recognized her body and realized she needed support rebuilding her strength, health, and confidence. Her progress didn’t happen through an overnight overhaul. It happened gradually. Angela walks through what those early stages actually looked like: relying on convenient meal options, learning to track and properly fuel her body, slowly building confidence in the kitchen, and creating systems that made healthy habits realistic within the capacity she had at the time. She also shares how her training has evolved through different seasons—from cardio and group fitness to strength training, progressive overload at home, and now more advanced gym training as her physique goals have changed. This conversation also explores motherhood, delegation, asking for help, reducing friction in daily routines, gym intimidation, and why even experienced coaches continue to work with coaches of their own. The biggest takeaway: you don’t get from A to Z with one method. As life changes, capacity changes. Goals change. And continued progress often requires being willing to change the approach, too. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Prioritizing Your Health, Making Time, and Playing the Long Game with Chris Miros

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with client, entrepreneur, husband, and father Chris Miros to talk about what it actually looks like to prioritize your health when life is already full. Chris runs a successful manufacturing company, has pursued multiple entrepreneurial ventures, and is raising young kids, but he has still found a way to make his health a non-negotiable. He shares the systems that make it possible, from 5:45 a.m. workouts in his garage with neighbors to weekly meal prep, planning ahead, and removing distractions that were taking time away from the things that mattered most.  Kaycee and Chris also talk about his weight loss journey, why accountability helped him move from repeatedly losing and regaining weight to creating something sustainable, and how becoming a father changed the way he thought about his long-term health. They also dive into preventative health, asking for help, and why having the right people in your corner can make all the difference.   If you have ever told yourself you are too busy to prioritize your health, struggled to make your results last, or needed a reminder that taking care of yourself is about more than what you see on the scale, this conversation is for you. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Pelvic Floor Health Through Every Stage of Life with Jessica Gingerich

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Jessica Gingerich, owner of Onward Physical Therapy Greenville, to talk about pelvic health, strength, and the symptoms women are too often told to accept as normal. Jessica explains why pelvic floor health is about much more than leaking after having kids. From pain with intimacy and urinary leakage to back pain, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause, the pelvic floor plays a role throughout every stage of life. Together, Kaycee and Jessica discuss why leaking during exercise is treatable, what pelvic floor physical therapy actually looks like, and why pregnancy does not mean you need to stop lifting or exercising. Jessica also breaks down common fears around core training and diastasis recti, the importance of preparing the body for birth, and why women may benefit from pelvic floor support much earlier in postpartum recovery. They also explore the bigger picture of physical health, including strength, recovery, nutrition, menstrual health, and the consequences of under-fueling. Because whether you are recovering from an injury, growing a baby, navigating menopause, or simply trying to stay active for life, your body needs both strength and adequate fuel to support you. If you have ever wondered whether leaking, pelvic pain, or other pelvic floor symptoms are something you just have to live with, this episode is a reminder that common does not mean untreatable—and there may be far more you can do than you realize. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Gut Health, Bloating, and Finding the Root Cause with Kim Pelicano

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Rooted coach and functional nutrition specialist Kim Pelicano to explore why gut health is about so much more than digestion. Drawing from both her personal health journey and years of coaching clients, Kim explains why symptoms like bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, and chronic inflammation are often signs that something deeper is going on, not just something you have to live with.  Together, Kaycee and Kim break down what healthy digestion actually looks like, why gut issues can contribute to hormone imbalances and weight loss resistance, and how addressing the root cause instead of simply treating symptoms can change the way you feel every day. They also discuss why functional testing can be a valuable tool, the importance of improving digestion before reaching for supplements, and the simple habits that can support better gut health over time.  If you've ever wondered whether your digestion is actually normal, struggled with unexplained bloating or fatigue, or felt like something in your body just isn't working the way it should, this conversation will help you better understand the role your gut plays in your overall health.  ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Bodybuilding Prep, Building Muscle, and Doing Hard Things with Daphni Barwick

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Rooted coach Daphni Barwick just days after they both competed in a bodybuilding show to unpack what prep taught them about discipline, body image, muscle building, and doing hard things with intention. This conversation pulls back the curtain on bodybuilding without glamorizing the extremes. Kaycee and Daphni talk about why building a strong physique requires more than fat loss, why so many women struggle to trust a build phase, and why stage leanness is not the goal for everyday life. They also discuss the mental side of prep, the confidence that comes from following through, and how choosing a hard physical goal can create growth that carries far beyond the gym. If you have ever felt stuck, feared eating more, chased fat loss without getting the shape you wanted, or needed a reminder that strength is built through challenge, this conversation is for you. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!

    Why the Basics Work: Coaching, Consistency, and Building a Healthier Life That Actually Lasts with Julie Schiavone

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Rooted coach Julie Schiavone to talk about what it really takes to execute the fundamentals, build consistency, and create results that actually last. Julie shares her coaching approach, which blends education, encouragement, accountability, and honest feedback, and explains why understanding the why behind your plan is what helps clients eventually feel confident doing this on their own. Together, Kaycee and Julie talk through the client roadmap at Rooted, from foundations and fat loss to maintenance, muscle building, and deeper health optimization through biofeedback and blood work. They also break down why maintenance is where so many people struggle, why the basics are not boring, and how systems and routines make healthy habits feel less like willpower and more like real life. They also discuss all-or-nothing thinking, social media noise, the pressure to chase every wellness trend, and what it looks like to simplify nutrition when life is busy, stressful, or unpredictable. If you have ever felt like what used to work no longer works, felt overwhelmed by where to start, or wanted to build a healthier lifestyle without living in extremes, this conversation is for you. ---------------------- Connect with Rooted Coaching to learn more!
