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.

Fecal Transplants & Postbiotics: The Future of Gut Health with Dr. Andrea McBeth
What if the key to better health started in your gut—and even with something as unexpected as poop?
In this episode, we dive into the world of the microbiome with Dr. Andrea McBeth, CEO of Thaena and a biochemist-turned-naturopath who has dedicated her career to exploring how our gut health impacts everything from immunity to mood. From the surprising history of fecal transplants to the emerging field of postbiotics, you’ll hear how science is reshaping the way we understand food, medicine, and the ecosystems living inside us.
She shares her personal story of watching her sister battle cancer, how that shifted her career from academia to naturopathic medicine, and why she believes restoring gut health may be one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce suffering and prevent disease.
Tune in to hear:
- The surprising history of fecal transplants (dating back to 4th-century China!)
- How probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics really work together
- Why the gut microbiome is like a rainforest—and what happens when it gets clear-cut
- The role of nutrition and plant diversity in building a thriving microbiome
- How stool-derived supplements are being developed to support gut health
- Why daily pooping should be considered a pillar of health
