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.

Expansion Isn’t Always Pretty: What Egypt Taught Me About Integration (Egypt Retreat Recap Part 2)
Have you ever had an experience that was profoundly transformational… but also exhausting, uncomfortable, and emotionally confronting?
In this second part of her Egypt retreat recap, Kristin shares the less talked about side of deep spiritual work. While the experience was powerful and life-changing, it also brought intense fatigue, nervous system integration, emotional triggers, and unexpected challenges that required patience, self-compassion, and surrender.
Kristin breaks down why spiritual retreats are not vacations, how frequency work impacts the physical body, and why exhaustion is often a sign of integration rather than burnout. She explains how triggers, irritation, comparison, and frustration are indicators of distortion patterns rising to the surface so they can be released.
Tune in to hear:
- How spiritual retreats are deep work, not vacations
- The difference between exhaustion and energetic integration
- How frequency work brings hidden trauma and distortion patterns to the surface
