    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.

    Strength Training Through Every Season of Life with Lolly Albison

    In this episode of The Rooted Method, Kaycee Hines sits down with Rooted coach Lolly Albison to talk about training through different seasons of life, from pregnancy and postpartum to building strength, confidence, and long-term health. Lolly shares her journey from CrossFit and nutrition coaching to becoming a BirthFit certified coach, as well as her personal experience navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the mental shift of learning when to push and when to pull back. Together, Kaycee and Lolly talk about why “just because you can doesn’t mean you should,” how to avoid the comparison trap, what it really looks like to listen to your body, and why strength training matters for women in every stage of life. They also discuss remote coaching, gym intimidation, body image, the return of “skinny culture,” and the power of building muscle not just for aesthetics, but for confidence, capability, and longevity. If you have ever wondered how to adjust your training through life changes, felt pressure to “bounce back,” or wanted to feel stronger in your body, this conversation is for you.

    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.
