    Are you struggling with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or PCOS and wondering how to start your day the right way? In this video, I’m sharing my ultimate morning routine for reversing insulin resistance step by step. From sunlight exposure and hydration to delaying breakfast and eating a protein-rich first meal, I’ll show you the simple but powerful habits that set you up for stable blood sugar, fewer cravings, and more energy all day long.

    These are the exact strategies I use myself and with my clients to lower insulin, boost metabolism, and make healthy choices easier. You don’t have to do everything on this list, but even one or two of these practices can make a huge difference in reversing insulin resistance naturally.

  • Should You Be Eating More or Less Salt? The Truth About Sodium...

    Grab Sodii’s Every Day Hydration Salts here: https://healthcoachkait.com/sodiielectrolytes Use code HCK15 for 15% off worldwide!

    Salt has been demonized for decades, blamed for high blood pressure and heart disease, but is the science really that simple? In this episode, I break down the real truth about sodium, why it’s an essential electrolyte your body can’t function without, and why many people eating whole foods (especially low carb) might actually need more salt, not less.

    We’ll cover the history of how salt got its bad reputation, the difference between short-term blood pressure spikes and long-term effects (hint: exercise does the same thing), and Dr. James DiNicolantonio’s research on why sodium is crucial for health. You’ll learn the signs of low sodium, how to choose the best type of salt, and when supplementing with electrolytes can help you perform and feel your best.

    Whether you’re an athlete, someone who eats low carb, or just curious about your health, this deep dive into sodium will change how you think about this misunderstood mineral.

  • Why You Need More Protein After 40 (Especially If You Want to Lose Fat)

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens when you’re not eating enough protein in your 40s and beyond. We’ll cover the signs of protein deficiency, how it slows your metabolism, leads to stubborn fat gain, weakens your muscles, and even impacts your blood sugar and aging.

    You’ll also learn how much protein you actually need, the best sources (especially for women over 40), and how to easily increase your intake — without counting every macro or living off protein shakes.
