Her Glucose Spikes Dropped 60% in One Week + More Client Wins28 Jul 202600:14:57

Think you're eating healthy — but your blood sugar disagrees? In this episode, you'll hear real client wins (and one eye-opening lesson) from inside the Glucose IQ coaching program, including a dinner that looked clean on paper but sent one client's blood sugar to 185. You'll also see why small, stacked wins move the needle on energy, weight, and metabolic health more than any perfect plan ever could — and why it's never too late to build muscle, even in your 70s.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The mindset shift that quietly determines whether your health habits actually stick (04:38)
  • The exact CGM number one client saw after a week of "getting back on track" — and why it surprised even her coach (05:50)
  • The overlooked pillar of health one client fixed before her other goals finally started moving (06:49)
  • Why a client in his 70s is building muscle faster than expected — without heavy lifting (09:15)
  • The "healthy" dinner that spiked one client's blood sugar right before bed, and what was really going on (11:07)

If you've ever wondered whether your daily choices are actually working, this episode will change how you look at your next meal — and your next win.

The Missing Piece in Mental Health: How Brain Health Changed Everything for Me05 May 202600:19:01

You can't outthink an inflamed, malnourished, sleep-deprived brain. After years of therapy, antidepressants, and personal development work, I learned that mental health is downstream of brain health, and it changed everything.

In this Mental Health Month episode, I share the moment Dr. Daniel Amen's work cracked open the brain-body connection for me, plus 5 specific levers you can use this week to support the underlying organ that runs your mental health.


In this episode:

  1. Why "manage your mental health" advice falls short without addressing the brain
  2. The hardware vs. software analogy that reframes everything
  3. 5 Levers to improve brain health and thus improve mental health 


This is for you if:

You've done the therapy and mindset work but still feel stuck

You're a high-performer who can't afford brain fog or low mood

You want evidence-based, not woo, mental health support

You're ready to treat brain health as the foundation, not the afterthought


Pick one lever. Notice how you feel. Share this with two people who'd benefit.

Should You Use a CGM in 2026? Benefits, Cost, and Who Actually Needs One21 Apr 202600:21:18

38% of adults in America have prediabetes—and 80% of them don't know it.

If you've seen those small patches on people's arms at the gym or heard about continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) but aren't sure if you actually need one, this episode is for you. 

There are several CGM options on the market and in this episode, I share which sensor and dashboard platform I prefer for my clients and why.

I'm breaking down one of the most powerful tools I use with clients: CGMs. I'm covering what they actually measure, whether they're worth the cost in 2026, and how to use them strategically without breaking the bank.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why 9 out of 10 causes of death in the US are connected to blood sugar dysregulation
    What a CGM actually measures (and why annual blood work isn't enough)
    How CGM users reduced glucose variability by 20-33% without medication
    The real cost breakdown ($75-$150 per sensor) and how to use them strategically
    My preferred CGM sensor and dashboard platform for 2026


Blood sugar isn't just about diabetes—it's the canary in the coal mine for your energy, weight, and long-term health. A CGM shows you in real-time why you crash at 3pm, why you can't lose weight despite "eating healthy," and why that stressful meeting tanked your energy for 24 hours.

When you use a CGM it’s personalized nutrition without years of trial and error.

Your Skin Affects Your Nervous System - Is your skincare adding to your stress?21 Apr 202600:37:54

Your skin is your largest organ—and it's absorbing everything you put on it. But most conventional skincare products are loaded with parabens, phthalates, and petroleum that disrupt your hormones, trigger inflammation, and stress your nervous system.

Meet Jodi Scott: pre-med background, master's in health psychology, and founder of Green Goo. When she got pregnant and looked at the ingredients in her first aid cabinet, she realized she wouldn't put any of it on her body—so she created plant-based alternatives that actually work better than their toxic counterparts.

In this conversation, Jodi breaks down the science behind why your skin health directly impacts your nervous system, hormones, and overall inflammation—and how to make simple swaps that reduce your toxic load starting today.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why your skin is born from the same embryonic tissue as your nervous system (and what that means for inflammation, cortisol, and stress)
  • Why parabens, phthalates, and petroleum were added to skincare 100 years ago
  • How petroleum-based lotions suffocate your skin microbiome and disrupt your endocrine system
  • Why conventional products make your skin drier over time
  • The skin-inflammation-nervous system feedback loop driving chronic eczema
  • The green-washing problem
  • Where to start to upgrade your skincare 

Key Timestamps: 

[02:58] Jodi's pregnancy wake-up call about toxic skincare 

[09:18] Missing link: what we put ON our skin matters as much as what we eat 

[11:32] The skin-nervous system-inflammation connection explained 

[15:45] Why conventional lotion makes your skin worse (the balloon effect) 

[18:37] Polyester clothing vs. 100% cotton: the inflammation difference 

[23:32] Why natural products were assumed to be inferior (and how that's changing

)[27:42] How the hemp/CBD wave opened doors for plant-based skincare research

3 Reasons Why Your Habits Keep Failing (And the #1 Shift That Fixes It)14 Apr 202600:14:51

So you've tried to eat better. You were consistent for two weeks, maybe a month. Then a work trip happened, or a stressful deadline, or a kid's birthday party — and you fell off... Again.

Here's what nobody tells you: it's not a willpower problem. It's an identity problem.

In this milestone 50th episode, Kaitlin Borncamp breaks down why 92% of New Year's resolutions fail, why it takes 66 days (not 21) to form a habit, and why the people who identify as "a healthy eater" maintain results 2.5x longer than those who call themselves "someone on a diet."


You'll learn:

→ Why starting with the behavior ("eat more protein") is the wrong approach — and what to do instead

→ The three reasons habits fail specifically for high performers: all-or-nothing thinking, decision fatigue, and the "I'll get back on track" trap

→ A real client story: how focusing on sleep eliminated sugar cravings without ever addressing sugar directly

→ The identity mapping exercise that Kait's coaching clients say changed everything

Plus, Kait shares a personal story from her Big 4 accounting days about sacrificing her health during busy season — and why "waiting for things to calm down" is a trap that never ends.


This episode includes a special clip from a training module inside the High Achievers Wellness Accelerator coaching program.


Chapters: 

  • 00:00 Celebrating Episode 50: A Milestone Reflection
  • 00:43 Understanding Habit Failure: The Identity Shift
  • 02:39 The Power of Identity in Habit Formation
  • 03:59 Common Pitfalls in Habit Formation
  • 05:07 Insights from the High Achievers Wellness Accelerator
  • 05:24 Bonus Module: Why Habits Fail

How a 66-Year-Old Runs Marathons on Only Raw Food (and Takes Zero Medications) | Axay Shah07 Apr 202600:32:12

What happens when someone eats 100% raw food—only fruits, vegetables, and nuts—for 16 years? Meet Axay Shah: 66 years old, training for his eighth marathon, takes zero medications, and has no chronic diseases. He started this experiment out of pure curiosity when he noticed his energy declining.

Here's the thing: While I don't recommend a raw food diet (and we disagree on several nutrition points in this episode), Axay's results are undeniably fascinating. His energy skyrocketed, people regularly mistake him for 50, and he's been tracking his blood work for years.

In this honest conversation, we explore what worked for him, where we diverge on nutrition science (protein needs, muscle building, blood sugar management), and what lessons busy professionals can actually take from his experience—even if you're never going raw.

What You'll Learn:

  • How Axay went from standard American diet to 100% raw food overnight at age 50
  • Why his energy, skin, and body composition improved dramatically (and what role whole foods played)
  • What happened when his A1C spiked to 6.7 (prediabetic range) while eating raw food
  • How he brought his A1C back down to 5.8 by cutting red wine and increasing exercise
  • The one supplement he needs on a raw food diet (vitamin B12—and why that matters)
  • Where we disagree on protein needs (he eats 56g daily, I recommend 1g per pound of body weight)
  • How he fuels marathon training on fruits, vegetables, and nuts
  • Why his taste buds completely changed (carrots taste sweet, water tastes different)
  • His advice for people who want more energy: start with baby steps, not dramatic changes

This episode is for you if: 

✓ You're curious about plant-based diets but want a balanced perspective 

✓ You want to increase whole foods in your diet without going extreme 

✓ You're interested in longevity and aging without medications 

✓ You want to hear an honest conversation where the host and guest disagree 

✓ You're looking for energy optimization strategies


My Take: While I don't advocate for a 100% raw food diet (and Axay agrees most people shouldn't do what he did), there are valuable lessons here: eating more whole foods, eliminating processed foods, and listening to your body's signals all contribute to better health.

Are You Trading Your Health for Your Wealth? 4 Patterns to Avoid11 Mar 202600:20:54

You're not consciously choosing to sacrifice your health for your career—but it's happening anyway. And the real reason isn't your schedule. It's a subconscious belief you don't even know you have.

What You'll Learn:

  • The core belief driving all health sacrifices
  • 4 patterns of trading health for wealth (and how to know if you're doing them)
  • What happens in 5, 10, and 20 years if you do nothing

Getting Older Is Inevitable. Getting Weaker Isn't. Redefining Aging with Gina Becker14 Jul 202600:28:23


If you think getting weaker is just part of getting older, this episode will change your mind. Strength training after 50 — even after 80 — isn't just possible, it's the difference between slowly losing your independence and getting up off the floor to play with your grandkids. Trainer Gina Becker has watched clients in their 60s, 70s, and 80s get stronger, sleep better, and walk away from medications they were sure they'd need forever. She's living proof at 62, and her own mom started lifting at 84. The best part? Most of her clients feel the shift in just two weeks. Here's exactly where to begin.

Gina joins Kait to redefine what aging actually has to look like:

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why decline isn't automatic — and the mindset keeping most women stuck (01:11)
  • What clients say they want vs. what they're actually craving underneath (04:49)
  • The biggest myths about aging and fitness, and why they're flat wrong (07:41)
  • The 2-week window where clients get hooked on feeling stronger (11:57)
  • Gina's mom started lifting at 84 — and trains 3x a week at 85 (16:26)
  • The one simple, underrated place to start today (26:13)

You'll walk away knowing it's never too late to get stronger — and that the first step is smaller and simpler than you think.

Why You Can't Sleep When Your Blood Sugar Is High (And How It's Raising Your A1C)17 Feb 202600:15:22

If you've ever laid in bed at 2am with a racing heart, feeling hot and uncomfortable after dinner—this episode explains why. It has everything to do with what you ate 2-3 hours before bed.

High evening blood sugar triggers a stress response (cortisol and adrenaline) that keeps you wired when you need to sleep. And poor sleep drives insulin resistance, which raises your blood sugar the next day—creating a vicious cycle that shows up as a climbing A1C.

In this episode, I break down the science behind why late dinners, client meals with wine and dessert, and stress eating sabotage both your sleep and your metabolic health—and what to do about it.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why high blood sugar at bedtime activates your sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)
  • How poor sleep reduces insulin sensitivity by 25% in just one week
  • Why chronic stress + poor sleep increases insulin resistance risk by 60%
  • The one rule for meal timing to protect your sleep and A1C
  • Simple strategies when you can't eat early (client dinners, late meetings)
  • Why post-meal walks reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 22%

This episode is for you if: ✓ You wake up at 2-3am with racing heart or feeling hot ✓ You often eat late (7-9pm) due to work/meetings ✓ Your A1C is creeping up despite "eating healthy" ✓ You're a busy professional with client dinners and unpredictable schedule

One study showed that chronic stress combined with poor sleep creates a 60% higher risk of insulin resistance. The good news? You can break this cycle without sleeping pills—just strategic meal timing and blood sugar management.

Why Skipping Meals Is Secretly Raising Your A1C (Even If You Eat Healthy)11 Feb 202600:23:56

If your A1C has been creeping up (6.0+) and you can't figure out why, this episode reveals the hidden culprit: skipping meals when you're busy.

You're not eating junk food. You make decent choices when you do eat. But when you skip breakfast, power through on coffee, and finally eat at 2pm, you're creating glucose volatility that drives your average blood sugar up—and that shows up as a rising A1C.

In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body when you skip meals, why stress hormones make it worse, and the simple meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep.


What You’ll Learn:

-  Why skipping meals raises blood sugar (even when you're not eating) 

- How stress hormones amplify the spike-and-crash cycle 

- Why busy professionals are uniquely prone to this pattern

 - The meal timing strategy that stabilizes blood sugar without meal prep 


**This episode is for you if:** 

✓ Your A1C is 5.7-6.4 and climbing 

✓ You often skip breakfast or go 5+ hours without eating 

✓ You crash by mid-afternoon despite "eating healthy"


So many of the executives and professionals I talk to report scarfing down their lunch as a weekly occurrence. 

This is one of the most common patterns I see in executives whose labs start creeping up—even though they don't think they're doing anything wrong.

How I’d Lose 20+ Pounds in 2026 (Without Feeling Deprived)27 Jan 202600:42:36

Natural weight loss is still possible in 2026—and believe it or not it can be sustainable without GLP-1 medications, extreme diets, or tracking calories. In this episode, I break down exactly what I would do to lose 20+ pounds naturally, focusing on blood sugar balance, sleep, movement, protein, and habit design so the weight stays off.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why most people regain weight (and what to do differently)
