    Episode 199: The Top Wellness Habits That I’m Loving in 2026

    In this episode, Kristina shares the wellness habits that have quietly transformed her routines and progress so far in 2026. Rather than chasing extremes or reinventing everything, she walks through the small, foundational shifts that have elevated her strength, body composition, energy, and mindset. From taking creatine consistently and adjusting her training style to adding daily incline walks, sauna sessions, lymphatic drainage, and a meditation challenge, she explains how tightening her standards, not adding more chaos, has created the biggest results. She also dives into the lifestyle upgrades that are supporting her discipline and confidence, including waking up earlier, eating out less (and more intentionally when she does), and prioritizing simple self-care habits that help her feel polished and powerful. This episode is a reminder that lasting change rarely comes from dramatic overhauls. It comes from stacking small habits that raise your baseline and reinforce the identity of the woman you’re becoming.

    Episode 198: 7 Nutrition Mistakes Holding You Back From Results

    In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina breaks down the seven most common nutrition mistakes she sees while doing food audits. After analyzing thousands of logs, one thing has become clear: what is holding so many women back is simply repeating small, compounding mistakes that no one has ever clearly identified. When three honest days of intake are reviewed objectively, patterns emerge. And often, the issue is not a need for lower calories or stricter macros, but better structure and smarter distribution. Kristina walks through the biggest offenders, including under-eating protein earlier in the day, failing to distribute calories evenly, building macro-based meals instead of balanced plates, relying too heavily on snacks, inaccurately measuring portions, and overlooking liquid calories. She explains why evenly spaced protein supports muscle and metabolism, how fiber and micronutrient density influence blood sugar and fullness, and why rhythm in daily intake creates stability for both body composition and energy. The episode also highlights how subtle habits like eyeballing portions or hoarding calories for dinner can quietly stall progress over time. Ultimately, this conversation reframes fat loss frustration as a data problem, not a discipline problem. Food audits remove emotion and replace it with clarity, allowing women to see exactly where small adjustments can create powerful change. Rather than encouraging more restriction, Kristina emphasizes structure, awareness, and intentional balance as the true drivers of sustainable results.

    Episode 197: 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do (And How I’ve Had to Learn Them the Hard Way)

    In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina explores what mental strength really looks like behind the scenes. Inspired by 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin, this conversation reframes mental toughness as less about pushing harder and more about letting go of habits that quietly hold us back. Through personal reflection, Kristina shares how building a business, navigating health challenges, and growing as a human has required repeated unlearning. Throughout the episode, Kristina walks through the behaviors mentally strong people avoid, such as living in self-pity, giving away their power, avoiding change, or getting stuck in comparison and past mistakes. She breaks down how these patterns show up in real life, especially for high-achieving men and women, and how shifting focus back to what is controllable creates momentum, clarity, and self-respect. The emphasis is not on getting it right all the time, but on building awareness and choosing forward action even when things feel uncomfortable or uncertain. This episode serves as both a mirror and a reminder that mental strength is a daily practice shaped by small, repeatable decisions. Kristina reminds listeners that progress compounds over time, and that is how your life truly gets rewired!

    Episode 196: The PCOS Basics: What Actually Helped Me Balance My Hormones

    In this episode, Kristina shares what actually helped her manage PCOS in a sustainable and supportive way, after years of feeling stuck in cycles of restriction, overtraining, and doing more without seeing results. She explains why PCOS is not a willpower problem, but rather a signal that the body is responding to stress, inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation.  Kristina walks through the foundational shifts that made the biggest difference for her, including prioritizing high-fiber, anti-inflammatory nutrition, regulating blood sugar, calming the nervous system, and using supplementation to support the foundation rather than replace it. She also discusses why chronic dieting and excessive intensity often backfire with PCOS, and how strategic calorie and carb cycling helped her body feel safer and more responsive. This episode is for anyone with PCOS who feels like they are doing everything right but still not seeing progress. Kristina reminds listeners that when stress is reduced and the right signals are in place, sustainable change and transformation become possible!  WATCH ON YOUTUBE: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcasts⁠ BALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP: https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/balancedblueprintmembership BUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform  BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER: ⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠ LIFE REWIRED IG: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠ KRIS IG: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠ NASH BARS: https://nashnutrition.co/ PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT  https://www.ptula.com/ TRANSPARENT LABS: CODE KRISTINA  https://athlete.transparentlabs.com/kristinaturnure

    In this January Q&A episode of Life Rewired, Kristina answers listener questions focused on creating balance between work, fitness, and everyday life. She reframes time management as a reflection of priorities, sharing practical strategies like planning workouts and meals in advance, time blocking, batching tasks, setting boundaries, and using simple productivity tools to reduce overwhelm.

The episode also dives into fat loss without constant hunger, highlighting sustainable calorie deficits, adequate protein and fiber intake, hydration, and evenly spaced meals. Kristina explains how to track progress beyond the scale by looking at measurements, progress photos, workout performance, energy levels, and how clothes fit.

    Episode 194: Building Momentum Without Motivation

    In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina explores what it really means to build momentum when motivation feels nonexistent. Rather than pushing harder or waiting for the perfect mindset, she reframes progress as something that comes from small, intentional actions that reduce resistance and rebuild trust with yourself. This episode challenges the idea that motivation is required for change and instead focuses on sustainable ways to keep moving forward, even during low energy or high stress seasons. Drawing from her own experiences in business, health, and personal growth, Kristina shares how momentum is often created through structure, simplicity, and nervous system awareness. She discusses why lowering expectations can actually increase consistency, how short bouts of focused effort protect energy, and why starting before you feel ready is often the key to lasting change. The conversation emphasizes meeting yourself where you are rather than forcing intensity that leads to burnout. This episode serves as a reminder that progress does not have to be dramatic to be effective. By focusing on small wins, gentle consistency, and supportive environments, listeners are encouraged to shift away from all-or-nothing thinking and toward a more balanced, sustainable approach to growth. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from motivation, and is a reminder that momentum is built through action, not perfection.

    Episode 193: Inflammation, Stress, and Why Your Body Isn’t Responding

    In this episode, Kristina explains that inflammation itself is not inherently bad. In fact, it plays a critical role in healing, immune response, and recovery. The real issue arises when inflammation becomes chronic and the body remains stuck in a prolonged stress state, unable to fully recover or regulate. Kristina breaks down how chronic inflammation often shows up in women not as pain, but as bloating, puffiness, fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, and stubborn fat loss. She highlights the paradox many women face: doing “all the right things” like training hard, eating carefully, and pushing for more discipline, yet seeing fewer results. Drawing from her own experience with unmanaged PCOS, hormonal disruption, and ongoing digestive and energy issues, she shares how a performance-driven mindset ultimately kept her body in a constant state of overwhelm. Kristina walks through what supporting the body actually looks like in practice, prioritizing sleep, fueling adequately, pulling back on excessive cardio, increasing daily walking, and focusing on nervous system safety. She outlines practical, sustainable habits around nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle that help lower inflammation without extremes, emphasizing that healing happens when the body feels supported, not punished.

    Episode 192: Life Lessons From 31 & 2025

    In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina reflects on the life lessons she’s learned in year 31 and the powerful reminders that 2025 delivered early. This episode explores why constant growth is necessary, how regulation impacts everything from hormones to relationships, and why progress doesn’t come from pushing harder but from creating safety and support within the body. Kristina also dives into the importance of holding high standards for yourself and the people around you, choosing growth over comfort, and listening to your body instead of fighting it. The conversation also touches on grief, acknowledging that healing isn’t linear and that growth often requires moving differently through certain seasons. The episode closes with a reminder that health is the foundation for everything, consistency will always outperform perfection, and the person you’re becoming through daily habits matters just as much, if not more, than the end goal.
