You say you want better energy, balanced hormones, and a body that finally responds but you’re still thinking, acting, and identifying as the woman who doesn’t have those things.

In this episode, Kenzie breaks down the truth about identity shifts — and why you can’t create a new reality from the same mindset that built your current one.

We talk about:

• Why every real transformation begins with identity, not willpower
• The Be → Do → Have framework that rewires results from the inside out
• How the Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters your reality based on what you believe
• The hard truth about “self-sabotage” — and how it’s really just your old self fighting to survive
• A step-by-step process to start becoming the woman who can hold what she’s asking for

This is your reminder that healing isn’t just about changing your habits — it’s about changing who you believe you are.

What if acne wasn’t just a surface issue—but a sign of deeper imbalances your skin is trying to tell you about?

In today’s episode of Rooted Conversations, I’m joined by Dr. Stacey Shillington, a Naturopathic Doctor with over 20 years of experience helping women reverse chronic acne and premature aging by getting to the root of what’s going on internally.

We’re pulling back the curtain on the gut-skin connection, how detox pathways and hormones play a role in breakouts, and why topical products are only part of the solution. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of new routines, prescriptions, or peels that never fully solve the issue—this conversation is for you.

💡 What We Cover:

• Why your skin might be signaling gut, liver, or lymph issues
• How detoxification impacts acne, aging, and overall radiance
• Functional testing Dr. Stacey uses to identify root causes
• How to stop chasing trends and start trusting your body
• Why acne is an inside job—and what your symptoms are trying to say

Welcome to the very first episode of Rooted Conversations. I’m your host, Mackenzie Grace—Functional Health Practitioner, former fitness coach, and founder of Rebuilt Roots Co.

In this kickoff episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I created this podcast, who it’s for, and what kind of real conversations we’re going to be having here. If you've ever felt like your symptoms were random or that your body was just “broken,” this episode is for you.

I’ll also share a bit of my own story, how years of “doing everything right” still left me bloated, burnt out, and confused and how everything changed once I started addressing the root cause.

This isn’t a podcast about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It’s about rewriting the rules of women’s wellness—based on biology, not BS.

In This Episode:

• Why I created Rooted Conversations
• The mission behind Rebuilt Roots Co.
• How burnout and bloating aren’t random (they’re metabolic signals)
• What “healing from the root” actually means
• What to expect from future episodes 

If You’re Tired Of…

• Feeling dismissed by “normal” lab work
• Chasing symptoms but never feeling better
• Wondering why your workouts, meals, and supplements aren’t working

…you’re in the right place.

This is the podcast for women ready to finally get answers and reclaim energy, metabolism, and peace in their body.
