    Why Your Weight Loss Is Stuck: Biofeedback, Food Quality, Labs, and Real Coaching with Kim Pelicano

    What should you do when you feel like you’re doing everything right, but your progress has completely stalled? In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Kim Pelicano, Rooted Coach and Director of Education & Nutrition at Rooted Coaching, to talk about what actually happens when clients get stuck in their health or weight loss journey. Kim shares her path from nutrition, to nursing, to functional health, and how her own experience with night shift, burnout, and adrenal fatigue shaped the way she coaches today. From there, she and Kaycee walk through the way Rooted approaches plateaus, looking far beyond the scale to understand what may be holding someone back. They discuss why biofeedback matters, how sleep, digestion, energy, stress, menstrual cycles, movement, food quality, and tracking accuracy can all influence progress, and when it may be time to take a deeper look through lab work. They also unpack common patterns like under-eating, over-exercising, insulin resistance, and relying too heavily on quick fixes instead of addressing the foundations. In this episode, they discuss: - Kim’s path from nutrition to nursing to Rooted Coaching - Why so many people get stuck in their fat loss journey - What biofeedback can tell us beyond the number on the scale - How food quality, tracking accuracy, and movement impact progress - Why eating too little and training too hard can backfire - When lab work may help uncover deeper issues - Insulin resistance, blood sugar, stress, and foundational health habits - Why coaching can help you troubleshoot what you may not see on your own If you’ve been dieting for months, doing “all the right things,” and still feeling stuck, this conversation is a helpful place to start. The Rooted Health & Nutrition Summer Group Coaching Program is a 12-week coaching experience designed for teachers and school staff who are tired of putting themselves last. This isn’t another generic meal plan or quick-fix challenge. It’s a structured, supportive coaching program built around your real life, your schedule, and your goals.

    Burnout, Better Coaching, and Why Sustainable Health Takes Time with Angela Felde

    What actually makes coaching effective? In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Angela Felde, Head Coach at Rooted Coaching, for an honest conversation about burnout, behavior change, and what the coaching industry often gets wrong. Angela shares how her own experience with postpartum depression, burnout, and trying to “do it all” led her to seek support and eventually become the kind of coach she wishes more women had access to. Together, she and Kaycee unpack the difference between quick-fix coaching and truly life-changing support, why sustainable habits matter more than extremes, and how education, connection, and community help clients create results that actually last. They also talk about the importance of setting goals that are challenging but realistic, building confidence through consistency, and helping people create a healthier life without making health feel like one more exhausting thing on their plate. In this episode, they discuss:  Angela’s path into coaching  Burnout, postpartum depression, and rebuilding from a hard season  Why so many people fail with all-or-nothing health plans  The role of community and real connection in successful coaching  What Rooted believes is missing in the coaching industry  Why long-term coaching can create lasting ripple effects beyond fat loss If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by health advice or discouraged by approaches that were never built for real life, this conversation is for you.

Kaycee opens up about the personal experiences that shaped her work. From watching her father’s health decline, to seeing preventable disease up close as an ICU nurse, she’s now building a company centered on helping people feel their absolute best from the inside out. Kaycee also shares how Rooted grew from a solo coaching practice into a fast-growing team, why empathy matters just as much as education when hiring coaches, and what it means to pursue “generational health” instead of just short-term results.
