OUR MISSION: HELP OTHERS LIVE A HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE. We started our first online business in the fitness world. We love working out at home, and I don't know a time we didn't focus on healthy eating. With that said – just being a fitness blog didn't feel like us. While we love getting into our skinny jeans, we also enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, and going to wine festivals. We also fell in love with helping others grow an online business after ours changed our lives in 2011. So we wanted to include what we had learned as business owners with others!

    #141: Body Image, the Scale, and Rewiring How We See Ourselves

    This week, Kim and Kalee step outside their usual teaching format for an honest, off-the-cuff conversation about body image, weight, and the mental patterns that shaped how they see themselves. Both of them grew up as "the chubby girl," and in this episode they open up about how those childhood experiences followed them into adulthood, and how they've worked to build a healthier perspective over time. They talk candidly about the messages that messed with their minds growing up, from Limited Two tank tops they couldn't fit into, to Disney Channel commercials, to the diet culture of the '90s that sold weight-loss foods instead of real nutrition. They also get into how social media has raised the pressure even higher now that the person you're comparing yourself to might live down the street, and may be using AI editing you'll never know about. From there, the conversation turns to tools and perspective: why strength training won't make you "bulky," how GLP-1 medications can be a helpful tool rather than something to judge or hide, and why nearly every tool (cardio, dieting, even tanning for light therapy) has a healthy middle ground and an unhealthy extreme. They close with a practical takeaway on complimenting people in a way that celebrates them without feeding into weight-focused thinking. If you've ever struggled with the number on the scale or worried about passing that struggle on to your kids, this one's for you. Have a question or a topic you'd like us to cover?

    138. Q&A: Fasting, Daily Menus, GLP-1s & Drinking More Water

    In this Q&A episode, Kim and Kalee answer listener questions on the topics women ask about most. They dig into whether long-term fasting is actually good for you—and why the answer is different for women, whose hormones and stress response don't match the mostly-male studies these protocols come from. Then they walk through a full day of real meals, share their tricks for finally drinking enough water, and have an honest conversation about GLP-1 peptides: the benefits beyond weight loss, why "low and slow" dosing matters, and why protein and the fundamentals come first. Plenty of laughs along the way, too. In this episode: Is fasting good long term? Why 12–14 hours can feel natural, and why longer fasts depend on your cortisol, leptin, ghrelin, and hormonesWhat a full day of eating looks likeHow to drink more waterWhat to look for in an electrolyte drink (potassium, sodium, magnesium—and a clean sodium source)Dream podcast guests they'd love to have onGLP-1 / GIP peptides: benefits beyond weight loss, the "start low and slow" approach, prioritizing protein, and why the foundations come firstWorking with a telehealth provider vs. buying "research only" products Mentioned in this episode: Function Health — full lab panels (including leptin), twice a year.

    136. Is Inflammation Keeping You From Losing Fat? with Curtis Gillespie Sayers

    If you've been cutting calories, adding workouts, & doing everything you've been told to do but the scale still won't move, this episode is for you! Integrative health coach Curtis Gillespie Sayers is back for part two of our inflammation conversation, & this time he walks us through exactly what is happening inside your cells that keeps fat loss stuck. If you missed part one, go back & listen to that one first. It sets up everything we build on here. Curtis works with some of the most complex chronic illness cases out there, often seeing clients who have already been through ten or more providers before finding him. Using comprehensive lab work, stool & urine panels, genetic data, & detailed history-taking, he builds personalized protocols around what is actually driving someone's experience. His training spans functional medicine certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine, advanced peptide therapy, methylation & clinical nutrigenomics, blood chemistry analysis, & more. He now works with clients & mentors other practitioners & physicians. The thread running through this episode is that your body will not let go of fat while it is busy trying to survive. In this episode you'll learn: Why an inflamed cell stops burning fat & runs on glucose insteadThe difference between losing weight & burning fatHow toxins stored in your fat cells get pushed right back in when your liver can't keep upWhat actually supports detox: your liver, your bile, & yes, your bowel movementsWhy bile becomes such a big issue on a GLP & what to do about itWhy a caloric deficit without enough micronutrients backfires on youRefeeds, leptin, & why Curtis refuses to use the phrase cheat mealWhy sleep beats the 5:30 am workout every single timeWhy cardio is your heart health tool & not your fat loss toolThe least inflammatory way to train when your body is already running hot Connect with Curtis: Instagram: @funct.med.curtis Skool Community: The Healing Path Website: Lifestyle Empowerment If you loved this episode, please leave a 5 star review & hit subscribe.

    135. 3 Sneaky Things Creating Inflammation & What to Do with Curtis Gillespie Sayers

    If you've been eating clean, working out, & trying to do everything right but still feel exhausted, inflamed, & just not like yourself, this episode is for you! We sit down with integrative health coach Curtis Gillespie Sayers to uncover 3 sneaky things that are quietly driving inflammation in your body, & why most of us have no idea any of them are happening. Curtis has been working with Kim directly for almost a year. She sought him out after failing two biologics, & he helped her get her chronic inflammation under control to the point where she is no longer on any medication for her Crohn's. Kalee is also a member of his Skool community. Curtis works with some of the most complex chronic illness cases out there, often seeing clients who have already been through ten or more providers before finding him. His approach goes far beyond symptom management. Using comprehensive lab work, stool & urine panels, genetic data, & detailed history-taking, he builds personalized protocols around what is actually driving someone's experience, always with the philosophy of stabilizing the foundation first. His training spans functional medicine certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine, advanced peptide therapy with Professor Vladimir Khavinson & Dr. Robin Rose, methylation & clinical nutrigenomics with Dr. Ben Lynch, blood chemistry analysis, biometric coaching through Traditional Chinese Medicine, & more. He now works with clients & mentors other practitioners & physicians. His motto says it all: if it breathes, I work with it. A central thread throughout the episode is one Curtis comes back to again and again: nothing in your body works in isolation, and sustainable healing rarely happens in a body stuck in chronic stress or dysregulation. In this episode you'll learn: Why modern stress hits your biology differently than it did for our ancestorsHow our dopamine-driven world is depleting your body's ability to handle stressThe hidden viral infections like Epstein-Barr Why suppressing symptoms with Tylenol and NSAIDs could be making inflammation worse long termThe cortisol confusion: what high and low cortisol each do to inflammation, and why testing mattersThe free foundational habits Curtis says move the needle more than any supplement Connect with Curtis: Instagram: @funct.med.curtis Skool Community: The Healing Path Website: Lifestyle Empowerment If you loved this episode, please leave a 5 star review & hit subscribe.
