About Wellness While Walking
Welcome! Each episode of Wellness While Walking addresses the real health concerns you're facing: • metabolism shifts and blood sugar spikes/weight gain • establishing sustainable habits despite crazy-busy schedules • adapting movement regimens (featuring walking!*) to work for you… in a fun way! • implementing doable nutrition approaches that work with your midlife body and life Hi, I'm Carolyn, a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach of almost 20 years. I was a health-rejectionist! I didn't think it mattered what our lifestyles were like – I even doubled down on this approach, working in the ultra-processed foods industry for a decade (and gained a lot of weight and was fatigued all the time, but I didn't connect the dots!) But then I got very sick. And my young children did, too. I started to open up to the idea that what we ate, how (if!) we moved, how we slept and more – how it did matter! I "walked back" my chronic disease diagnoses and my kids healed. After over a decade of health coaching people in their midlife years, I also noticed another trend – that of extremes! Folks rejected things like walking and eating largely whole foods for their more intense counterparts, like running and "eating clean." I knew that I needed to fight this, because there are lots of health-conferring points in between on the spectrum, and I'm all about capitalizing on the low hanging fruit by taking small steps that we'll actually do and enjoy! I do think we need to fight societal norms that leave us unhealthy – we call that "walking against traffic" – but this can be a moderate, doable, fun and effective path! Getting this word out to the wider audience beyond my clientele led me to introduce the Wellness While Walking Podcast in January of 2020, and we've been going strong since! I hope you'll join me, Health Coach Carolyn, for Wellness While Walking—your 30-minute movement companion that delivers research-backed strategies for weight management, metabolic health, healing chronic conditions and extending your healthspan in a motivating, compassionate format! Whether you're seeking accountability for consistent action, clarity on conflicting health advice, or gentle guidance for aging vibrantly, Wellness While Walking meets you where you are with understanding and actionable solutions. By the end of each episode, you'll feel physically energized, mentally renewed, and equipped with clear next steps—having moved, learned, laughed, and found the motivation to take the next meaningful step on your health journey! (*Did I mention that we play a beep halfway through so you know when to turn around if you're walking while listening?!) Today is a terrific day to start so press "Follow" and then "Play," and let's do this, together!

349. Good Stress, Bad Stress: What Actually Helps When Life Gets Hard
Published 23 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] That's why the popular idea that stress is good, which is true in part, we need nuance around it, right? We need to talk about the benefits of stress and where they hold true and where they don't. We just saw in the form of the zebra how short-term stress does help. But talking about stress as a positive thing leaves out that when our stressors, again, are more long-lasting, whether we get to recover and how much control and things like that, those things matter. So again, short bursts of stress can be useful even in humans, not just zebras. And living with constant stress, though, is something else altogether. […]
