Welcome to The Rooted Method: Kaycee Hines on Building Rooted, Preventive Health, and Why This Work Matters

In the very first episode of The Rooted Method, the format flips a bit. Before host Kaycee Hines starts leading conversations with Rooted coaches and trusted experts, she sits down with Anthony Palmer, founder of Palm Tree Pod Co, to introduce the show and share the story behind Rooted Health & Nutrition Coaching.

Kaycee opens up about the personal experiences that shaped her work. From watching her father’s health decline, to seeing preventable disease up close as an ICU nurse, she’s now building a company centered on helping people feel their absolute best from the inside out. Kaycee also shares how Rooted grew from a solo coaching practice into a fast-growing team, why empathy matters just as much as education when hiring coaches, and what it means to pursue “generational health” instead of just short-term results.

You learn more about:

• Kaycee’s path from nursing to coaching
• What Rooted means by preventive health
• Why coaching has to be personalized to the individual
• How motherhood has shaped the way Kaycee talks about food, body image, and strength
• Rooted’s pro bono coaching mission and the ripple effect of better health
• What listeners can expect from future episodes of The Rooted Method

If you’re new here, this is the perfect place to start.

The Rooted Health & Nutrition Summer Group Coaching Program is a 12-week coaching experience designed for teachers and school staff who are tired of putting themselves last. This isn’t another generic meal plan or quick-fix challenge. It’s a structured, supportive coaching program built around your real life, your schedule, and your goals.

Anthony Palmer: 1:57

Hi everyone. I'm Anthony Palmer. I am the CEO and founder of palm tree pod go and very excited to welcome our newest show to our network, to our family, the rooted method. Kaycee Hines, thanks for having me in your beautiful house. Yeah, absolutely. So this is our second recording session block that we've gotten to do, we recorded about a month ago a whole bunch of content with your coaches at your rooted coaches retreat, Summit, whatever it was fantastic, just a lovely bunch of humans that you've built around yourself. And this podcast has been almost a year in the making, as far as like the idea, right? So from like concept to where we are of actually launching it, which we launched the trailer as we record this this week, right? So we launched it a couple days ago, Monday, Monday, and we'll talk a little bit more about, you know, obviously, where people can find it, what the general idea of the podcast is going to be, who it's for, all that kind of stuff. But the main reason we're sitting down and having this conversation right now is because your story is fantastic and you've built a really cool company with some really incredible people around you, and you're very good at taking compliments. So this is very comfortable for you. This is my

Kaycee Hines: 3:37

most, my least comfortable episode that will do, which is fine, because it's Yeah. Part of it's about me and my story.

Anthony Palmer: 3:43

It is, yeah. So for those people listening that don't know you, that don't know about rooted, give me a little bit of the background of you know, from what got you to from day one to here,

Kaycee Hines: 3:58

yeah, and it's a loaded question, such a loaded question. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna probably dive too far backwards, but I'm going to give them the whole story, but I'm obviously, like you said, Kaycee Hines, CEO and founder of rooted. So we're a preventative health company, and we coach people to feel their absolute best. So from the inside out, the way that I got into this is just, I think, like, how anybody is coming to a certain point in life, like you can look back on childhood and you can look back on college experiences. You can look back on so many aspects of your life and be like, Okay, now I see how all of those different puzzle pieces kind of got me to where I am today. So, you know, starting with family and upbringing, had wonderful parents, but I had very different parents, as far as like how they operated in their day to day and how they took care of their bodies, or how they didn't, and I know that that shaped a massive part of why I do this in the first place. So my dad was an entrepreneur. He was really, I mean, really, head first in his business, and most people that knew him were taken care of by him, in some capacity, he was a phenomenal human being, and that was really all I cared about, though. So to see someone who works their tail off like all of those things are so inspiring and these huge things that I look up to about him, but I know he also was an older dad. He had me when he was 53 so, like, I already knew as a young kid, like, okay, my dad's older than everyone else. And then on top of that, I knew okay, but he also doesn't take care of himself. And so there was just this, like, very early on, click for me, that, like, that's probably not going to be around for as much of my life as other people. And it was a weird, somber thing to feel and know as, like, a middle school kid that that part of that was his lifestyle and his choices, because he didn't work out. He truly, I don't think I ever saw him work out. He would play like, company softball, and maybe that was it. Um, he didn't eat well. He didn't eat healthy. He was very picky eater. Um, he ate a lot of fast food. He just wasn't a part of his life, and he didn't care. Um, and then on the flip side of that, I had my mom who ran marathons and lifted weights. And I want to give so much credit to my mom for being one of the few women in the 90s to like, not raise because she had three girls not to raise us to be like, so concerned with body image and like, she just ate like, she fueled her body well, she worked out. She ran like crazy. And I'll never forget sitting at our house in high school and my dad not giving her a crap in like, a like, mean way, but just looked at her and was like, Are you getting thirds of dinner right now? And she was like, Yeah, I'm hungry. I ran 10 miles today, and, like, that was the norm for me growing up. My mom. Always cooked protein, carbon, veggie, like that just is how we ate. She, she'll kill me for saying this, not actually. She probably won't laugh. But she wasn't like, the world's best cook, so it's not like she, she didn't even think she did that, just from a health perspective. It was just like, hey, that's what's easy. We're gonna make protein, carbon, veggie, and that's all I've got for you guys. She did not bake, she didn't bake sweets, and truly, she doesn't love sweets anyway, but, like, she just wasn't this elaborate Cook, right? But growing up that like that is just kind of how we ate because of her, I'm able to look back and be like, That's why she felt so good. I mean, that's why she is so vibrant and fit and healthy and recovering well from surgeries and from knee replacements and things like that, well beyond other people's age. It's wild. So I saw both of those things, and then, unfortunately, what I thought would happen to my dad did happen in a capacity. He developed early onset dementia. And his physicians that I spoke with at length, that my sisters and I spoke with at length, would tell you time and time again that a lot of this, majority of this was lifestyle driven. Yeah, there's only so much that we can obviously avoid. There are things that were coming for him and for any of us regardless. But you know, to see that deterioration for 12 years where we, you know, everyone was trying to take care of him and trying to get him to feel better. I mean, it was just, it was hard, if anyone who has cared for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's. No knows that it is incredibly challenging. So, yeah, I really was able to see both of those different pictures of what health can and can and should not, whatever should be, yeah. So yeah, that was kind of the upbringing. I then ended up going to Clemson because my dad went to Clemson and, you know, go Tigers. I had to, I majored in Business Management. Never thought I would really use it. Obviously, here I am now running a business. So it comes in, Little did you know, so it actually worked out great for me. But really, like, didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, I think, in that time, and that was really when, like, my dad was at his worst, or starting to decline, like I didn't really care about anything else I went to college, I partied. And I look back at that person, and that's, I don't think, has ever been who I was, but was definitely a challenging time in my life. Drank a lot, probably gained freshman 30, not the freshman 15, and kind of had to dig out of that in there. Most people have been there in some capacity. But after college, I, like, I really knew that that was that was not the lifestyle that I wanted to live, and I didn't have this, like, I don't know any crazy problems, but I just did not care about myself or my health, and was able to, kind of, again, put those pieces together as I watched dad decline. So post college, started working in sales. Wanted to follow in his footsteps, kind of, you know, he was like, Yeah, you got to work in sales, and you have to do I was trying to do whatever my dad thought I should do, or whatever he wanted me to do to make him proud. So I started working in sales, and I was like, this sucks. Like, I don't, I didn't believe in what I was selling. And if you know me well, and I'm sure most people that are gonna listen to this are people that I know sure, like I'm I am pretty straightforward, I'm pretty genuine. I am not going to be able to sell something that I don't believe in. And I was trying, I will not forget, trying to sit and sell this, like digital marketing, to this little man that owned, like a lawn mowing business. And I was like, this is not going to do anything for you. Like this is not going to work for you. And he asked me, point blank, like, do you think this is gonna benefit my business? And I was like, I gotta tell you, I don't. And I quit that day because I was like, I'm not doing, I'm not doing the company a service like, and I can't lie to these people. So I went back and got a certification for personal training, and was like, I'll just, you know, try to start working in the health and wellness space, helping people, you know, you know, feel better if I can. And then went back to nursing school, so went and got another bachelor's degree in nursing. After nursing school, I worked in a medical ICU, and that's where I really got to see preventable disease and just a lot of people that were sick with things that could have been avoided. Yeah, that was obviously another massively pivotal moment to where I am now, because now I have this thing that I've watched happen with my dad for so many years to now. Okay, I'm a nurse in a medical ICU, so we're not seeing, you know, trauma. We're really just seeing people that, yes, some people that had things that were absolutely not avoidable. But I did see a lot that was avoidable, and it was really hard to watch specifically, yeah, the patients, like, of course, I'm the one caring for them. It's awful to watch somebody deteriorate, but even more so, the family members that would be in there, you know, and I'm holding someone's hand and talking them through their loved one dying. And I'm like, this sucks. Like, I like being that person for someone. I liked my role in that, but I hated that it got there for some of those people where it was the moments of like, gosh, you were a frequent flyer here because you never were taught to manage this. So that was a that was huge, to be able to see what we could do on the other side. So I got very, very passionate about that. What can I do on. The Other Side, and I'm like, I'm one person. Can't do a whole lot, but I can do my best. I'll try. So I started looking at, like, you know, coaching people on the side. I left the hospital, I went and worked for a functional medicine doctor. And sometimes people hear that term, and they're like, they think

Anthony Palmer: 11:57

that's woo, woo. Well, yeah, I was gonna say just not to, like, totally pull you off of it. Give a overview of kind of

Kaycee Hines: 12:03

what that means functional medicine is like, I mean, there's, there are different types of functional measure practitioners, but the one that I worked for was very much like root cause medicine. So you might, let's give an example of if there's a rock in your shoe, or your foot is hurting really bad, your foot's hurting, and someone's like, Okay, you go see a doctor, and they're like, I you can take some ibuprofen. This will help manage the symptoms for your foot, yeah. And the functional medicine doctor is like, well, we can do that. We'll definitely manage the symptoms. But also, let's make sure we take the shoe off and take off the sock and see, is there a rock in there, or is there some, you know? And that's such a very, very elementary example, but like, what's the actual cause of the pain? Not the band aid on the pain, right? And I'm not saying our primary care doctors don't do that, but functional medicine is bigger, deeper dives into what could the root cause be behind some of these issues? The reason I specifically loved working for her, for that doctor, is because she wasn't a total quack. And if you know, you know, if you're in this space at all, you know there's a lot of those out there. Sure, she was an ER physician for 15 years. She's an MD she has seen, and she still uses actual medicine, and she pairs that with a holistic approach as well. So I worked for her. Was her nurse wellness coordinator. Learned so much from her just really how to help people prevent illness. And then she also dove into a lot of really cool stuff with like longevity and hormone replacement therapy and all of those types of things. So I was able to work as her right hand and obviously was a great experience for me. Yeah, after that, I worked for a coaching company well, and I've owned a couple other businesses in between, but those don't really matter. I worked for another coaching company because I was like, I'm good at coaching. Like, I love the one on one, convincing someone how to do what they need to do to accomplish their goal, whatever it may be, like it is. So it is so fun for me. So I was like, You know what? I'll try. I'll go work for someone else. I was pregnant with our daughter, and was like, I don't want to run my own business right now while I'm pregnant, like it just feels like a lot, so I'll go work at this other place. Learned a lot of things I didn't want to do. Learned a lot of great things too. Had some great experiences, met some phenomenal people. Ultimately, it was not the place for me, and so I just decided to, you know what, pregnant with my second baby. I was like, I will do this on my own. Now. Like, I'm ready. I can just coach by myself. So the whole goal was like, coach as many people as I can, help as many people as I can. But I never had this dream of, like, of course there was a little something in the back of my head, but it was never like, rooted is gonna be huge. Like, rooted wasn't even a thing. That wasn't even in my head yet. I just wanted to coach. I just wanted to coach my people and be by myself and not be managed by someone else, or be aligned, misaligned in a company that I didn't want to be in. So I just did it alone. And my launch, which I guess was, what year is it? Right now, it was 2024 January of 24 okay, I had so many applications that I was like, oh, shoot, I literally can't do this by myself, yeah. And I think it was something like 50 or so applications, like, month one week one of like, Hey, this is what I'm doing. I'm doing it on my own. And I think there had been a lot of people in my pipeline that, like, wanted to potentially work with me, but they didn't want to work with the company that I was with, or, who knows, but you know, there's also some excitement when somebody's doing something. And so there were 50 something applications, and I was like, shoot, okay, well, we got to do something, so I hired our first coach to come on, and that was Kate Larson. And she, I mean, holy smokes, she would, she would never take that praise, but she is the reason I could end up doing this. Because it was like, Okay, I have to be able to give people, someone that I can trust. Someone who has similar training as me, somebody has a similar background, we align on all of this. So she came on very quickly, filled her roster up to the point where she was like, okay, I'm good. Like, I'm this is, this is all I can take. And so it was like, Okay, we just need to keep bringing people on, because now, now you've got a fire under me right now. I'm like, Okay, we have something good. And because this is authentic, and this is genuine, and people want to do it, like, Okay, now I'm ready to freaking go. So I think that is when I was like, Okay, this can this is going to be something cool. So then I just kept hiring coaches. Hire a coach, fill a roster, hire a coach, fill a roster, or get as close as possible. You know, people's coaching rosters are going to fluctuate. And now we're at 10 coaches and two or three admin staff and Operations Manager and in two years, which has been

Anthony Palmer: 16:37

crazy, crazy fast. So yeah, you know I think about there. Either there's so much out of that that I would love to, like sit down and tease out with you and pick your brain on but that's not the point of this episode today, right? A lot of information, no, but, I mean, it's what's amazing is, and I mean just full transparency for the, you know, the audience. Obviously, you're my client, but I am also your client, and we've worked together now for a little over a year. I've had coaches and personal trainers and all the things all through my life, and they've all been great and had value and gotten me to places and whatever. But it there's something different about doing this as a one of like being on that side of it as your client. And then also I'm, I think I'm really fortunate that I get to kind of be in some of the business side of it with you too, right? So we get to have these, like, very layered conversations about things and what is just so what has stood out to me since day one, before you were my client, when I was just your client, is that authenticity piece, right? And that truly, that excitement, that fire and just you have this knowledge that you bring with and meeting people where they are, right? And I think you know your background, that you've just shared everything that you've been through, like it's very, it's very apparent why you're able to do that right. But I do want to, I want to give you an opportunity. And I know you're not gonna like this question, but like talk a little bit about so you've done a really good job of giving us the like the story, kind of across the surface here. Sure talk a little bit about that impact piece for you, right, as a human, as a mom, as a spouse, as a daughter. You know all of this like you're seeing week one of you starting this, 50 people reaching out and saying, like, help, right? Like putting a hand out and being like, I I need help. You get to do that. Fast forward two years. You have 10 other people helping you do that, so that number of people that you're impacting, right, which was the whole goal of this? Right to help. Yeah, what does that feel like to you now?

Kaycee Hines: 19:14

Yeah, paid you for this. I first of all, thank you. I appreciate you. Know, everything you've said, I'm great at compliments and talking about myself. Very good at it. Very good. The impact piece is probably the, the only thing that you can get me to talk about that might would make me cry, because I'm not a super emotional person, but that's what we're here for today, by the way. No, I'm not gonna do it, but I mean, it's that's everything. That's the whole, the whole reason for all of this was like, how many people can we help? And to be able to do that on a scale that I never anticipated is wild and very humbling to have that many people that trust me, that trust us with their health. We have done everything from getting people off of medications to reversing type two diabetes, restoring women's cycles who haven't had a period for a long time, which is, I'll tell you, because you don't know the hypothalamic amenorrhea. You know, if someone's been over exercising and under eating, and they don't know why they haven't had a cycle, and they don't know that it's not healthy that's been suppressed, like helping women restore that, or multiple infertility cases. And you know, women getting pregnant naturally, they had to use IBF with their first couple of pregnancies, like those things, and like seeing that impact, and seeing the direct impact that it has on people and their lives is like the most wildly rewarding thing that you could possibly do. So to be that, be able to do that on a big scale, is it just feels crazy.

Anthony Palmer: 20:41

Yeah, I can't, I mean, not that this podcast is about me, but I'll put I'll put the spotlight on me for a minute. Give you a break thanks when you have the privilege of getting to help people, right So, and it's very different, but like you know, we with our company, we get to help people share their stories, which ideally has impact and helps people to learn, grow, be better all the things right when you can slow down for a minute as an entrepreneur, as a parent, the 3 million different hats that you wear every day, and you can see those things. Those are the things that like, make the grind at two or three in the morning that much easier, right? Or make the like stress about, how am I gonna make payroll this week or whatever, which I mean, so there's, there's the like, the high. Energy, the beauty of all of this, but there's, there's the reality to all of this too. Yeah, right. Like, and, you know, you've, I'm getting to my point. But like, I think for you as a coach, and for your other coaches as you have as a part of your team, every one of them is a real human right. So every one of them can connect with their people, their coaches, and say things like, this week is very stressful. I have 3 million sporting events going on this week with my kids, or my spouse is out of town, or this that or the other, and it's met with, I think that, like grace and humility that you've been able to kind of bring through your whole life, right? And I just think that's really cool, because there's so much in this space, right? Yeah, there's so much of this that is, like the quick fix, the magic pill, the and there's no, I'm not. Everybody's got their thing that works for them, right? You know, the like, shut up. There's no excuses. You know, the 75 hard, the whatever it may be. And I just, I really, like, we had an we recorded another conversation yesterday with one of your coaches, Kim, about your guys, like, mentorship program that you guys do and, like, it just it was the whole time, like, and I get, I keep repeating the same thing, but it was, it just is so cool to see you guys be so authentic and understanding and knowing how and when to, like, pull the right levers on people.

Kaycee Hines: 23:20

Right? The biggest part of coaching, right? Like, of what we do is, how do you coach so many different people in different ways? Yeah, and like, I mean, I coach multiple people that you know, right? And I coach every single one of them wildly different, right, completely different approach, so, you know. So I think that that when I am looking at hiring coaches like, I want to make sure that they have Yes, the education and the experience and the transformations to prove and all those things right. They have to have a good resume. But the number one thing that I need to know is that you are empathetic and that you are capable of knowing when to push and pull somebody Yeah, like, I have to know when do I light a fire under your ass and like, try to get you going. Versus, like, Hey, you needed a little bit of grace this week. Like, this week was just really hard, right? With every client you do that, you give people grace. I do give some people grace, not you. So, yeah, I know what some people need, but you have to know your person. You know, I have some clients who need me to hold their hand a little bit more. That's okay. Like, that's a part of coaching. I enjoy that, sure. And then I have some people that are like, Yo, talk to me once a week. Leave me alone. Tell me exactly what you want me to do, and I will just do it. And that is a two totally different human beings. So I think that coaching as a whole is more like psychology than it even is all of the other stuff. Yeah, learning people. What has

Anthony Palmer: 24:38

coaching taught you about being a parent? Oh, man,

Kaycee Hines: 24:41

that's that's hard. It's hard not to, like, put on my coaching hat, yeah, with my children, yeah, I would imagine, yeah. I mean, I know it's taught me a lot. It's taught me a lot, because I see so many different types of people and how they process and think through food. But I think the number one thing, and my kids are still very young, so I'm sure all of this will continue to transpire as they age. But I think the biggest one for me is how I speak about myself, my body, food, fitness, all of that in front of my daughter, my son too, absolutely. But a lot of the women that I've worked with have, and this is not against their moms, grandma's aunts, anyone who has said these things sometimes, yes. But like, a lot of times, women will just make little comments about themselves that they don't think are going to impact someone else, and they do. And I'll be more specific so, you know, so you can understand what I'm actually referring to. But like, you know, I have a client who really struggles with body image, and she looks great like she does not see that. She cannot see that, and it's because, growing up, her grandma would always tell her that she was too chubby for her clothes and that she didn't look good. And she's like, 12, you know? And that is a little bit more extreme of an example, but there's so many like, I mean, there's way worse that I'm not gonna mention. And then there's, you know, there's other ones of like, I remember my mom always looking in the mirror. I'm not saying this. My mom was great with body image. Body image stuff, but, like, I remember a client saying, I always, my mom was always looking in the mirror, like, pinching at her fat, or, like, you know, really self conscious all the time. And it just really taught me how I want to be in front of my daughter. And I teach that to my clients too, that, you know, yes, you might. Some of my clients weigh their food. Some don't. So if I'm telling a woman like, Hey, you're gonna weigh your food, but I know you have girls, so this is how I want you to talk about this. Yeah, I want you to make sure that they know that you are weighing your food so that you can eat enough, so that Mommy can be strong for as long as possible. But it does. It's important to not. I just constantly want to be smaller and then show that to our kids. So yeah, that's a deep one for me. But yeah, I want my daughter to be able to see like we are trying to be strong and capable and take up space and Sure. I want everyone to feel confident in their skin, but not in a self defecating way.

Anthony Palmer: 27:02

You said something a few weeks ago during your coach's retreat, one of the episodes that be coming out in the future, about wanting to be strong so that you could help your dad right, like physically wanting to be able to be able to lift him right. Yeah, that was a wild moment. And it made it really it made me, I was thinking a lot about that when you said it because, and it, the reason it brought me back is what you were just talking about about, you know, Mommy needs to eat enough to be strong, right? It's, it is this, this life giving power to be able to take care of ourselves, right? And it's really hard to take care of ourselves, you know. And I think it, it boggles my mind at times that we, you know, we outsource so much in our lives, right? We outsource our accounting. We outsource maybe, if we're fortunate enough, to our house cleaner, right? We outsource somebody working on our car for us, or maybe doing our lawn or whatever. But it's like we people get hung up on taking care of themselves, right? And I think also maybe understanding that they are deserving of that right? And that title of a coach or or the the luxury of saying, like, oh, I have a coach, right? It's, it's a it's something that I know not everybody is capable of having you guys do something really cool to help people with that. Will you talk about that a little bit? Yeah. And I know you don't talk about

Kaycee Hines: 28:47

it a lot, so that's never talked about it. Yeah. And most of our clients, it is important that, like our clients, also know that we do this. So, you know, I shouldn't talk about it some, but it feels that's what we're here to do. All my favorite things. No, we it has. It was really important to me from day one to have pro bono clients, and that's just something that we've really tried to expand, because to your point, coaching, affording coaching, or someone to clean your home, or any of these things are at the end of the day luxury. And I love, don't get me wrong, like I love all of the people that I coach, and I love helping people with things that are everything from a small goal to a huge, massive health goal, to a most recent client that desperately needs to come off of blood pressure medication, because he told me that he, you know, at his last primary care doctor appointment, feels like he's gonna die young. So like those are wildly impactful. I coach some very big stories. But there's a lot of people that have really big stories like that that can't afford coaching, or they don't even know that it's a thing, or they don't have the resources. They either can't afford it, or they're in more rural areas, or, like most people, don't even know that's a thing, right? You know, I live in this bubble, and you're kind of in the bubble.

Anthony Palmer: 29:55

I was just gonna say the same thing, right? It's easy to get bubble, easy to get on Instagram and be like, everybody's doing what do you mean? People don't know about coaching and fitness and mental health need to

Kaycee Hines: 30:05

get on it and be like, the space is so saturated. Why are we even doing this right? And then it's like, wait, wait, hang on. Wait a second. 95% of the population, I'm in this, you know, we're in this 5% bubble that we look at, but 95% of people need the help. So we right now have the ability to still carry 10, or to carry 10 pro bono clients, because the coaches are still obviously getting paid to coach these people. So that's, you know, the biggest thing that I want to grow this year. So my like q4 goal. And I'm such a visual person, I have my whiteboard that I've written down all my goals for every quarter, but q4 says impact. And it is that by the end of the year that we can coach anywhere from, yes, beyond 10, but I would love for us to get to 50 pro bono clients on a monthly basis, and then what does that look like moving forward? How can we, you know, there's a lot of ideas spinning around in my head, but shocking. I know shocking, but it's it's a really cool process, and I think that people assume that if they're getting free coaching, like if we're giving someone free coaching that they're not going to do it because they don't have that skin in the game, and there can be a little bit of that, but like, we make sure that we vet people before bringing them in and know that they really actually need it. Man, the people that we have coached for free so far have been incredible, and we have seen some of the coolest transformations happen from that. So that's a, you know, really the when we talk about, like, the growth of the business and coaching over 1000 people over the last couple years, like really cool things that we've been able to do, I don't look at that as, like, more revenue, or more of this or that. It's like, how cool is that? That that then turns into more lives, that turns into more people in that pro bono. Space. So I'm excited to grow that and just the ripple

Anthony Palmer: 31:45

of that, right? Because now all of a sudden, you know, mom or dad is healthier. Gosh, yeah, I get to play with my kids more your your line of like, Grandpa can grandma can get up off the floor with the grandkids, right? Whatever it may be like, it's generational. It has the opportunity to be generational change.

Kaycee Hines: 32:05

Yeah? And I don't like I, I struggle to say some of that stuff sometimes, because I don't want to sound cheesy, but like, no, it is that. Like, it is, it is generational health, right? Versus generational wealth? I would love to build generational wealth for my children. I more importantly, want them to have health, yeah. So I'm trying to get other people to learn and understand how to do that and provide that for their family. And I always have called it like, kind of like the web of coaching, because you coach one person to this great transformation, I don't need them to refer all their people to us. That's not what I'm saying. The web of coaching. It's more so now, how many people are they then impacted? Right? I just got a message from someone's wife yesterday, who I've worked with this guy for almost five years. I love him, his wife, his kids. I know so much about them and their lives, and so I don't coach her specifically, but over the years, she's just like, learned little things from him, and then every now and then her and I'll message on Instagram, and I ended up telling her she had multiple miscarriages and after their third baby, and just couldn't quite figure out what was going on, and I sent her to looked up different specialists in Knoxville, and sent her where I thought she should go and what blood work she should get done and why. And then not only are they able to, you know, have their fourth baby and get pregnant all that, but she sent me a message of, just like, I feel so different postpartum this time around because of that, and like, I don't even coach her. You know, that is the web of what coaching can provide is you're impacting so many more lives than just the one person that you coach, yeah? Which is the coolest part of all of it, yeah. So with the the pro bono side of things too, you know, coaching people that don't have access to it like that's even bigger to me, the impact, right? Because the people that I'm talking about are also on Instagram and getting some of this advice and whatnot. So now you take someone in a rural area who doesn't even know what a carb is, but they're diabetic, yeah, and start teaching them that, and now their kids start to learn those things like that. That is crazy. How impactful that can be.

Anthony Palmer: 34:02

Yeah, it's fantastic. It's really cool you guys do that. I also think it's cool that you haven't talked about it to some extent, right? Because there's, there's value in that. But I think it's really as a client, I like, I didn't know that until a couple weeks ago, right? But it's, but, like, those are the things where you're like, oh, man, that's cool. Yeah, you know, yeah.

Kaycee Hines: 34:25

Well, and you don't, I don't know. You don't ever want to talk about it and be like, Hey, look at us. We do great things, you know. But I think it is important for our clients, specifically, more importantly, to know that, like, we're not a company that's just like, hey, how much money can we put in our pockets? And I'm not that type of founder, and our coaches aren't that's those type of coaches. Like, what you're what you are paying for coaching is, yes, goes to your coach, and then also it goes to these other cool things that we're able to do and provide for people. Yeah. So, yeah, thanks for giving me a space to actually talk about it.

Anthony Palmer: 34:54

Welcome. We're gonna, we're gonna start to land this plane, and I'm gonna get you out of having to be vulnerable and money, all the things. Yeah, it's the lights. Let's talk a little bit about the rooted method. Okay, yeah. So, like I said at the start, we've got a handful of episodes recorded already. A lot of those are with your coaches. There's a lot more to come. Besides that. Can you share a little bit about what we're going to be doing on the podcast? Yeah, what you're going to be doing? I won't be on it again. I'm done.

Kaycee Hines: 35:25

Maybe we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. Yeah, so I mean, one, I want people to know our coaches and like, how incredibly smart they are and all of the advice that they have, and I know that by putting that into a podcast and into a space where people can listen, it can help quiet some of the noise, because, like, we've talked about, social media is noisy and it's really confusing. And I want to be able to provide a trusted space for people to come to find evidence based information and, you know, real practical advice to help them in their day to day and in their health so quiet the noise, and then help people practically. You know that maybe aren't our clients, or maybe, you know, yes, solidify things for people who are our clients, but help people with just some tangible things that they can do. So we will talk to all the coaches. We'll do different topics with all of them, and then have a quite a fun lineup of trusted experts and physicians and a lot of cool people in the space that I've been kind of poking at. And surprisingly, a lot of people are interested in coming and sharing about some of these things. So yeah, I'm excited.

Anthony Palmer: 36:28

Show's gonna come out every other week. Well, it's gonna come out on Wednesdays. So this episode, but you know right now, like, cool. So this will be the first episode. Thanks for sitting down. And talking with me about all of this, if people want to find out more about you or what it's like to work with you guys, how does that What's that process look like? What do they do? Yeah, well, first,

Kaycee Hines: 36:53

I mean, you can find us on Instagram. Mine's Kaycee, Hines underscore, we'll put all this in. All of this will be in the chat, yes, Caitlin, or the rooted coaches our websites, the rooted coaches.com but what we do is we have a little application form, just so that I know a little bit before hopping on a call with somebody. I've had so many mentors advise me against this. But our consult calls are free, and we're not in a place in business where they should be, but I want them to be free, because if you do a consult call with us to see what coaching looks like, cool, yeah, I'll tell you what coaching looks like, but I'm not a salesy tool. I'm gonna also try to give you tangible advice for what you what you could do for your current situation, whether you do coaching or not. I want people to come to a call with us or with me, and receive value and then sure if you want to learn about coaching, I'll let you know what that's about too, but not, uh, my here to push that on people. I want people. I want people. I want to help as many people as I can. So we'll have a 30 minute chat, and I'll tell them about what it is, and then, easy enough. Thanks. Thank you.
