The Energetically Efficient Show
Welcome to The Energetically Efficient Show—a wellness-meets-real-life podcast where high achievers learn how to reclaim their energy, reset their health, and live with intention (without burning out or chasing perfection).
I’m Kristin Rowell—former trial attorney turned functional nutritionist, speaker, and coach. After 20 years in law, I walked away from my career to build a business that helps people feel vibrant, strong, and aligned from the inside out. This show is where I share everything I’ve learned on that journey—and bring you along for yours.
Each episode blends practical education with honest storytelling, covering topics like metabolic health, real food nutrition, strength training, detoxing, mindset, energy work, and human design. I’ll break down complex topics in a way that’s simple, actionable, and maybe even a little entertaining (with help from my three Golden Retrievers, of course). Expect a mix of solo episodes, guest conversations, kitchen demos, and the occasional grocery store trip.
If you're a high performer who’s ready to stop ignoring your body and start feeling good again—this show is for you.

Macros 101
In this episode of the Energetically Efficient Show, I am breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: macronutrients. If you’ve ever wondered how to build meals that support fat loss, balanced blood sugar, and lasting energy without counting every calorie—this is your crash course.
Tune in to hear:
- What macronutrients really are and why they matter
- How to build meals that keep you full and energized for hours
- Why protein is the most satiating macronutrient and how much you should be eating
- The best bioavailable protein sources for optimal results
- Why healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil are essential for hormone balance
- How to choose carbs that provide volume and fiber without blood sugar crashes
- Why that “healthy” American breakfast may be sabotaging your energy
- How Kristen uses tools like Chronometer and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to track and optimize her nutrition
