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.

What a 49-year Old Who Is Focused on Her Metabolic Health and Fat Loss Keeps in Her Cupboard
Ever wondered what a 49-year-old, metabolically-healthy, low-carb athlete keeps in her cupboard?
In this episode, Kristin takes you behind the scenes for a full pantry tour: the packaged foods she actually keeps on hand, the products she travels with, and how she strategically uses convenience foods without compromising her health goals.
She breaks down her favorite low-carb staples, clean-ingredient snacks, high-protein options, healthy fats, travel essentials, and even the occasional sweet treat all chosen with metabolic health, fat loss, and realistic living in mind.
Whether you're transitioning into a low-carb lifestyle or just want to make smarter pantry choices, this episode will show you exactly how Kristin curates a cupboard that supports her energy, hormones, and long-term results.
Tune in to hear:
- Why Kristin prefers real food first but still keeps intentional convenience foods on hand
- The packaged items she always has stocked for protein, crunch, healthy fats, and fiber
- What she brings when she travels (especially long international trips)
- Her favorite brands for protein bars, nut butters, chips, nuts, tuna, broth, and supplements
- How she strategically uses snacks as part of meals, not grazing
- The truth about seed oils and why she’s okay with certain versions
- How she builds quick “lazy healthy meals” with protein, fat, and fiber
- Metabolic-health principles that guide all her pantry purchases
- Her morning routine staples: electrolytes, creatine, perfect aminos, and more
