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.
