#223: Kaitlyn Kenna Smith: CrossFit, Creatine, and Content Creation with PricePlow

Episode #223 of the PricePlow Podcast brings one of PricePlow’s own to the mic: Kaitlyn Kenna Smith, content creator for PricePlow and Bevlab, the face behind PricePlow’s TikTok, and host of the Powerhouse Mentality podcast. If you’ve watched PricePlow’s supplement and energy drink content on social, there’s a good chance Kaitlyn’s behind a lot of it. In this episode, Mike and Ben dig into Kaitlyn’s full story: from a teenager who turned to running to escape a difficult home life to an aspiring professional CrossFit athlete eating over 3,000 calories a day and training twice daily. She’s open about recovering from an eating disorder, why the 1,200-calorie recommendation harms active women, and how she coaches clients to focus on habits and biofeedback over scale weight. The conversation also covers creatine’s well-earned mainstream moment, the rise of functional ingredients in energy drinks, what 1st Phorm gets right about community, and why in-person events matter more than follower counts.
