About Rebel Wellness

Season 5 of The Rebel Wellness Podcast® is here — where high-achieving women (yes, especially my fellow millennials running on fumes) finally get honest, science-backed answers about what's happening in their bodies. I'm Kaileigh — MSCN, former fitness & women's health coach of a decade turned clinical functional nutritionist. I've spent years watching brilliant, driven women push through burnout, mask symptoms with "I'm just busy," and wonder why their bodies feel like they're working against them. Spoiler: they're not. They're just speaking a language most of us were never taught. Welcome to where we learn it together, lovely. This season, we're going deeper into the conversations you've actually been asking for — Rebel Interviews with practitioners who get it, Fertility Files for the preconception-minded (because a healthy baby starts months before conception, not the day you start "trying"), Low-Tox Talks for practical swaps that don't require overhauling your entire life, and Health Hot Takes for the quick, unfiltered truth on whatever wellness trend just hit your FYP. Whether you're rebuilding your energy after burnout and tired of "just sleep more" advice, navigating a GLP-1 medication and want to protect your muscle, hormones, and nutrient status while you're on it, cleaning up your home and beauty routine without losing your mind (or your budget), or quietly prepping your body for pregnancy — you're in the right place. We're ditching the toxic positivity and wellness guru baloney. Instead: science-backed explanations for why you feel like garbage despite doing "all the right things," strategies that fit into your already-packed life, and conversations that feel like texting your smartest friend who happens to know a lot about hormones, fertility, and stress. (Because who isn't needing help there nowadays?) I'm SO happy you're here. Let's rebel against the radical wellness noise — together.

   [#122] Why You're Losing Hair on GLP-1 Meds (And How to Stop It)

   Hair falling out in clumps since starting Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro? You're not alone - and you're not stuck with it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason GLP-1 medications trigger hair loss (hint: it's metabolic stress + nutrient depletion), plus the exact protocol I use with clients to minimize shedding and support regrowth. From protein targets to strategic supplementation, we're covering what actually works—not just "wait it out" advice. If you're on a GLP-1 med or considering one, this is your roadmap to protecting your hair while your body transforms. No fluff, all strategy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✓ Why hair loss happens on GLP-1 medications ✓ The exact nutrients your hair follicles need during rapid weight loss ✓ A strategic supplementation protocol ✓ How stress, inflammation, and under-eating sabotage your progress ✓ Realistic timelines for regrowth + what to focus on NOW to see results in 3-6 months ✓ Red flags that your provider isn't supporting you through this process Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

   [#121] Why Your "Self-Care" Routine Might Actually Be Keeping You Stuck

   Self-love says "I love me" and self-care says "prove it"—but are your daily habits actually proving it, or are they just helping you forget you need healing? In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between true self-care and the numbing techniques society has rebranded as empowerment. From nightly wine rituals to doom-scrolling sessions, we're calling out the self-soothing traps that keep high-performing women stuck in burnout cycles while thinking they're "taking care of themselves." You'll learn why your body doesn't distinguish between deserved indulgence and physiological stress, how to spot the difference between dopamine hits and actual restoration, and what intentional self-care actually looks like when you're ready to invest in long-term health instead of temporary relief. This isn't about perfection—it's about pattern recognition and proving to yourself through your daily choices that you're worth the discomfort of real growth. If you've ever justified another glass of wine as self-care or wondered why you still feel exhausted despite all your "wellness" habits, this episode is your wake-up call. Timestamps [03:35] What self-care actually is (hint: it's not always comfortable or convenient) [08:22] The ironic truth: numbing behaviors perpetuate the burnout cycle [10:47] Why nightly wine disrupts REM sleep, taxes your liver, and suppresses progesterone [15:32] How society rebranded escapism as empowerment [22:25] Common "self-care" habits that are actually numbing techniques [24:41] How to spot the difference: self-soothing vs. true self-care [29:28] The unsexy truth about real self-care (meal prep > DoorDash) [31:47] Physiological, nervous system, emotional, and practical self-care categories [38:53] Implementation tips: start small, track how you feel, embrace discomfort Resources Mentioned: Free 2026 Journal Prompts (https://www.coachkales.com/freebies) Simple Sourdough Guide (https://www.coachkales.com/freebies) Work With Kailes: 🌿 Newsletter Join here (https://www.nourishwithin.me/newsletter).

   [#120] Winter Wellness Wisdom: Why Your Body Doesn't Care About January 1st. (& big news!)

   New year, new... burnout? Let's talk about why your body might be side-eyeing your ambitious January goals. In this episode, I'm getting real about the cultural pressure to "start strong" when your body is literally screaming for rest. We're diving into why winter goal-setting feels like swimming upstream, how your menstrual cycle is secretly your best planning tool, and why that 3 PM energy crash might be telling you something way more important than your to-do list. If you're a high-performer who's been white-knuckling your way through rigid routines, or you're wondering why every January feels like a setup for failure—this one's for you, babe. Plus: Updates on my brand new website (finally!), free sourdough guide, and 2026 journal prompts to start your year with actual self-awareness instead of another failed protocol. Timestamps [00:00] The Capacity Question: Are You Setting Goals Your Body Can't Support?
