Nutrition, Metabolism, Blood Sugar Strategies by Feel Great with Kait

If you're a high achiever who feels constantly stressed — wired but tired, burned out, carrying belly fat that won't move — the problem isn't your workload. It's that you've been taught to "manage" stress instead of replacing it with something better. In this solo episode, Kaitlin breaks down three unconventional, science-backed tools that physically shift your body out of fight-or-flight (sympathetic) and into recovery mode (parasympathetic) in minutes — lowering cortisol, raising HRV, and helping your body finally let go of the stress it's been storing. No journaling apps, no breathwork gymnastics, no "just meditate more." Just three things you can do this week.In this episode, you'll discover:Why "stress management" is the wrong goal — and what to chase instead (00:58)Why overwhelm is a planning problem, not a workload problem (05:00)Tool #1: The gratitude science that resets your nervous system in seconds (05:30)How gratitude lowers cortisol, drops belly fat, and raises your HRV (08:13)Tool #2: Why scheduling fun isn't optional — it's a requirement (09:14)The one question to ask daily to break out of survival mode (11:32)Tool #3: The 3-5 song playlist that physically processes stored stress (12:43)How bilateral movement rewires your brain (similar to EMDR and REM sleep) (15:00)These are tools you can use in your office, your car, or your kitchen this week — no extra hours required.Does your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

38% of adults in America have prediabetes—and 80% of them don't know it.If you've seen those small patches on people's arms at the gym or heard about continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) but aren't sure if you actually need one, this episode is for you. There are several CGM options on the market and in this episode, I share which sensor and dashboard platform I prefer for my clients and why.I'm breaking down one of the most powerful tools I use with clients: CGMs. I'm covering what they actually measure, whether they're worth the cost in 2026, and how to use them strategically without breaking the bank.What You'll Learn:Why 9 out of 10 causes of death in the US are connected to blood sugar dysregulationWhat a CGM actually measures (and why annual blood work isn't enough)How CGM users reduced glucose variability by 20-33% without medicationThe real cost breakdown ($75-$150 per sensor) and how to use them strategicallyMy preferred CGM sensor and dashboard platform for 2026Blood sugar isn't just about diabetes—it's the canary in the coal mine for your energy, weight, and long-term health. A CGM shows you in real-time why you crash at 3pm, why you can't lose weight despite "eating healthy," and why that stressful meeting tanked your energy for 24 hours.When you use a CGM it’s personalized nutrition without years of trial and error.Resources:Book your Health Strategy Call Today: feelgreatwithkait.com/contact Buy CGM Sensors: theiahealth.ai/c/feelgreatwithkait Does your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

Your skin is your largest organ—and it's absorbing everything you put on it. But most conventional skincare products are loaded with parabens, phthalates, and petroleum that disrupt your hormones, trigger inflammation, and stress your nervous system.Meet Jodi Scott: pre-med background, master's in health psychology, and founder of Green Goo. When she got pregnant and looked at the ingredients in her first aid cabinet, she realized she wouldn't put any of it on her body—so she created plant-based alternatives that actually work better than their toxic counterparts.In this conversation, Jodi breaks down the science behind why your skin health directly impacts your nervous system, hormones, and overall inflammation—and how to make simple swaps that reduce your toxic load starting today.What You'll Learn:Why your skin is born from the same embryonic tissue as your nervous system (and what that means for inflammation, cortisol, and stress)Why parabens, phthalates, and petroleum were added to skincare 100 years agoHow petroleum-based lotions suffocate your skin microbiome and disrupt your endocrine systemWhy conventional products make your skin drier over timeThe skin-inflammation-nervous system feedback loop driving chronic eczemaThe green-washing problemWhere to start to upgrade your skincare Key Timestamps: [02:58] Jodi's pregnancy wake-up call about toxic skincare [09:18] Missing link: what we put ON our skin matters as much as what we eat [11:32] The skin-nervous system-inflammation connection explained [15:45] Why conventional lotion makes your skin worse (the balloon effect) [18:37] Polyester clothing vs. 100% cotton: the inflammation difference [23:32] Why natural products were assumed to be inferior (and how that's changing)[27:42] How the hemp/CBD wave opened doors for plant-based skincare research [31:14] Calendula's impact on telomere regeneration (longevity connection) [35:47] Jodi's go-to productsResources:Shop Green Goo: greengoo.comConnect with Jodi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-scott-7234331b8/Does your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

So you've tried to eat better. You were consistent for two weeks, maybe a month. Then a work trip happened, or a stressful deadline, or a kid's birthday party — and you fell off... Again.Here's what nobody tells you: it's not a willpower problem. It's an identity problem.In this milestone 50th episode, Kaitlin Borncamp breaks down why 92% of New Year's resolutions fail, why it takes 66 days (not 21) to form a habit, and why the people who identify as "a healthy eater" maintain results 2.5x longer than those who call themselves "someone on a diet."You'll learn:→ Why starting with the behavior ("eat more protein") is the wrong approach — and what to do instead→ The three reasons habits fail specifically for high performers: all-or-nothing thinking, decision fatigue, and the "I'll get back on track" trap→ A real client story: how focusing on sleep eliminated sugar cravings without ever addressing sugar directly→ The identity mapping exercise that Kait's coaching clients say changed everythingPlus, Kait shares a personal story from her Big 4 accounting days about sacrificing her health during busy season — and why "waiting for things to calm down" is a trap that never ends.This episode includes a special clip from a training module inside the High Achievers Wellness Accelerator coaching program.Chapters: 00:00 Celebrating Episode 50: A Milestone Reflection00:43 Understanding Habit Failure: The Identity Shift02:39 The Power of Identity in Habit Formation03:59 Common Pitfalls in Habit Formation05:07 Insights from the High Achievers Wellness Accelerator05:24 Bonus Module: Why Habits Fail Resources mentioned: High Achievers Wellness Accelerator - Apply Here: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/applyDoes your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

What happens when someone eats 100% raw food—only fruits, vegetables, and nuts—for 16 years? Meet Axay Shah: 66 years old, training for his eighth marathon, takes zero medications, and has no chronic diseases. He started this experiment out of pure curiosity when he noticed his energy declining.Here's the thing: While I don't recommend a raw food diet (and we disagree on several nutrition points in this episode), Axay's results are undeniably fascinating. His energy skyrocketed, people regularly mistake him for 50, and he's been tracking his blood work for years.In this honest conversation, we explore what worked for him, where we diverge on nutrition science (protein needs, muscle building, blood sugar management), and what lessons busy professionals can actually take from his experience—even if you're never going raw.What You'll Learn:How Axay went from standard American diet to 100% raw food overnight at age 50Why his energy, skin, and body composition improved dramatically (and what role whole foods played)What happened when his A1C spiked to 6.7 (prediabetic range) while eating raw foodHow he brought his A1C back down to 5.8 by cutting red wine and increasing exerciseThe one supplement he needs on a raw food diet (vitamin B12—and why that matters)Where we disagree on protein needs (he eats 56g daily, I recommend 1g per pound of body weight)How he fuels marathon training on fruits, vegetables, and nutsWhy his taste buds completely changed (carrots taste sweet, water tastes different)His advice for people who want more energy: start with baby steps, not dramatic changesThis episode is for you if: ✓ You're curious about plant-based diets but want a balanced perspective ✓ You want to increase whole foods in your diet without going extreme ✓ You're interested in longevity and aging without medications ✓ You want to hear an honest conversation where the host and guest disagree ✓ You're looking for energy optimization strategiesMy Take: While I don't advocate for a 100% raw food diet (and Axay agrees most people shouldn't do what he did), there are valuable lessons here: eating more whole foods, eliminating processed foods, and listening to your body's signals all contribute to better health.Resources:Axay's website: rawfoodist.comBook: In Nature We TrustDoes your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

Do you feel puffy when you wake up? Tired despite sleeping 7-8 hours? Have brain fog by 2pm or stubborn weight that won't budge?

If you've ever laid in bed at 2am with a racing heart, feeling hot and uncomfortable after dinner—this episode explains why. It has everything to do with what you ate 2-3 hours before bed.High evening blood sugar triggers a stress response (cortisol and adrenaline) that keeps you wired when you need to sleep. And poor sleep drives insulin resistance, which raises your blood sugar the next day—creating a vicious cycle that shows up as a climbing A1C.In this episode, I break down the science behind why late dinners, client meals with wine and dessert, and stress eating sabotage both your sleep and your metabolic health—and what to do about it.What You'll Learn:Why high blood sugar at bedtime activates your sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)How poor sleep reduces insulin sensitivity by 25% in just one weekWhy chronic stress + poor sleep increases insulin resistance risk by 60%The one rule for meal timing to protect your sleep and A1CSimple strategies when you can't eat early (client dinners, late meetings)Why post-meal walks reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 22%This episode is for you if: ✓ You wake up at 2-3am with racing heart or feeling hot ✓ You often eat late (7-9pm) due to work/meetings ✓ Your A1C is creeping up despite "eating healthy" ✓ You're a busy professional with client dinners and unpredictable scheduleOne study showed that chronic stress combined with poor sleep creates a 60% higher risk of insulin resistance. The good news? You can break this cycle without sleeping pills—just strategic meal timing and blood sugar management.Related Episodes:Episode 40: Why Skipping Meals Is Secretly Raising Your A1C (Even If You Eat Healthy) - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-skipping-meals-is-secretly-raising-your-a1c-even/id1817228582?i=1000749320680 Episode 33: How to Overcome Racing Thoughts at Night - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cant-shut-off-your-brain-at-night-try-these-5-strategies/id1817228582?i=1000740433379 Does your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply

If your A1C has been creeping up (6.0+) and you can't figure out why, this episode reveals the hidden culprit: skipping meals when you're busy.You're not eating junk food. You make decent choices when you do eat. But when you skip breakfast, power through on coffee, and finally eat at 2pm, you're creating glucose volatility that drives your average blood sugar up—and that shows up as a rising A1C.In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body when you skip meals, why stress hormones make it worse, and the simple meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep.What You’ll Learn:-  Why skipping meals raises blood sugar (even when you're not eating) - How stress hormones amplify the spike-and-crash cycle - Why busy professionals are uniquely prone to this pattern - The meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep **This episode is for you if:** ✓ Your A1C is 5.7-6.4 and climbing ✓ You often skip breakfast or go 5+ hours without eating ✓ You crash by mid-afternoon despite "eating healthy"So many of the executives and professionals I talk to report scarfing down their lunch as a weekly occurrence. This is one of the most common patterns I see in executives whose labs start creeping up—even though they don't think they're doing anything wrong.Does your calendar dictate your nutrition? Grab The No-Time Nutrition Blueprint: http://store.feelgreatwithkait.com/ntnReady to stop trading your health for your wealth?Apply for coaching with Kaitlin: https://tidycal.com/kaitlin/apply
