[#111] Let’s Talk Carb Myths: the most demonized food group of them all!

In this episode, we'll address common myths surrounding protein intake for women, emphasizing that they do not need less protein than men, but rather a tailored amount based on lean body mass. We'll go over the essential roles of protein beyond muscle building, including hormone production and tissue repair. The conversation covers how to determine individual protein needs, signs of insufficient intake, and practical strategies for incorporating more protein into daily meals. Of course, I'll always encourage you to view protein as a vital nutrient for overall health rather than a means to only add muscle!

[#109] What every woman should know before taking creatine!

Want to know the future of compounded GLP-1 meds? In this episode I sit down with Chris Spears, the founder of Orderly Meds, to talk about something that's been gaining a lot of attention lately known as GLP-1 medications & their role in weight loss and metabolic health.

Chris shares his personal journey, including the health scare that led him to create a more compassionate, patient-centered approach to accessing these medications. We get into the realities of navigating today’s healthcare system, the power of compounded medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide for personalized care, and how telemedicine is reshaping access to treatments that were once out of reach for so many.

This conversation goes beyond just medications. We explore what it really takes to support long-term transformation - from hydration and nutrition to movement, mindset, and community support. Chris and I talk about real-life success stories, the emotional side of health journeys, and the importance of setting realistic expectations for weight loss.

Whether you're currently on a GLP-1, considering it, or just curious about how functional medicine and holistic wellness intersect with modern treatments, this episode is packed with insights to help you feel more informed and empowered.

In this episode, I sit down with Moriah Martin, RD to talk about her journey to becoming a dietitian and why she chose to specialize in eating disorders. We dive into the different types of eating disorders, the importance of having a supportive care team, and how the language we use around food and nutrition really matters. Moriah and I also open up about our own experiences with disordered eating and discuss the deeper, root causes that often go unaddressed.

We get into the complexities of body image, binge eating, and both the psychological and physiological factors that play a role in these struggles. We talk about how social media shapes our self-perception, the dangers of orthorexia, and why balanced nutrition—not perfection—is key. Most importantly, we highlight the power of mindfulness, self-compassion, and building resilience in the recovery process.

[#107] Chats With Kailes: How to best explore longterm recovery for a disordered relationship with food with Moriah Martin RD

Is "balance" really achievable, or is it just another unrealistic ideal we’ve been sold? In this episode, I take a step back from nutrition deep dives to share a more personal conversation about my journey through burnout, redefining success, and learning to prioritize what truly matters.

I’ll break down the myths surrounding work-life balance, why women especially feel pressured to “do it all,” and how our priorities should shift with life’s seasons—not hold us hostage to outdated expectations. I'm examining my personal experience setting boundaries within a thriving coaching business to pursue further education in clinical nutrition. I'll also share insights on making tough transitions, setting boundaries, and embracing a version of balance that actually serves you.

[#104] Chats with Kailes: Applying the foundations of ancient Ayurvedic medicine with Neda Shakoori 

In this episode of Rebel Wellness, I’m discussing my experience with the carnivore diet—one of the most extreme elimination diets out there. Over the years, I’ve experimented with many popular diets to better understand their effects firsthand, and this time, I went full carnivore for 10 weeks.

I’ll break down what the carnivore diet entails, the different variations people follow, and the touted benefits like improved gut health, reduced inflammation, and hormonal balance. But does cutting out all plant-based foods really lead to better health? I’ll share my personal results, the unexpected challenges, and why my body ultimately craved a different approach.

If you’ve ever been curious about the carnivore diet, this episode gives you an inside look at what it’s really like. Plus, I’ll touch on how to recognize if a diet is actually working for you—because one-size-fits-all nutrition just isn’t a thing.
