Welcome to part one of my Keep Moving series! Through this series, I will be interviewing Burn Boot Camp members who have all been faced with adversity, but chose to overcome it to keep moving forward in their lives. Tune in to be inspired, motivated and empowered to keep moving forward in your life, too, despite your current circumstances!    In this episode, I sit down to chat with Burn Boot Camp Hanesport member, Jilian Grahl.  After collapsing one day, Grahl was rushed to the hospital and was eventually diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari Malformation which began a decade-long struggle through surgeries and chronic pain. Before this incident, Grahl felt fulfilled by her work as a police officer because it allowed her to help people and ensure that others were safe, happy, and protected. After her diagnosis, this was abruptly taken from her and she struggled to find a purpose that left her feeling fulfilled. But, she soon found a new purpose in sharing her story and helping others with chronic pain and those who

Carly Stein is on the podcast today. Carly is the founder and CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals, a company that creates natural, pesticide-free bee products. Stein’s journey first began during a trip abroad that led to her contracting tonsillitis. While she faced the prospect of surgery, she desperately searched for a different solution and was able to find a pharmacy that offered bee products. These bee products allowed her to avoid surgery and enjoy the rest of her time abroad. Now she has made it her mission to bring these products to the United States and give others access to natural, alternative medicines. Stein is also an advocate for the preservation of the global bee population and works to support hives across North America.   Key Takeaway: By using natural, pesticide-free products that are consistently tested, Beekeeper’s naturals hopes to improve the health of both bees and humans.   Highlights: Beekeepers Naturals obsessively test their bee products to ensure that no pesticides or harmful chemicals af

I’m here today to talk about Macros and I ask the question should you be counting your Macros? Macros are Macronutrients and they consist of carbs, fats and protein. You can count your macros using percentages or by grams. Counting macros is a great tool to have in your toolbox when you’re learning to eat healthier. You might be gaining weight just by eating too much of one macro. When counting macros, you know exactly what’s going in your body and it’s helpful with keeping you accountable. As you progress in your health journey and learn how to eat healthy, you’ll get a solid understanding of portion size and know what feels good and works in your body. When you know what works for you, you can stop counting your macros and instead focus on eating intuitively. Key Takeaway: Counting your Macros during the beginning of your health journey is a great way to learn portion size and can help you with accountability. As you progress in your health journey you’ll experiment with different levels of carbs, fats and

Just a few factors that can throw your hormones out of balance include gut health, liver health, stress, sleep, and food.

Key Takeaway: By understanding any hormone imbalances you may have, you can make small changes in your lifestyle that will ensure that you’re healthier later in life.   Highl

Today we’re talking about taking things personally. We all can be selfish and assume that everything has to do with us. But when others are cutting you down and being rude to you in the workplace or in society, it’s often because they have an internal conflict and they’re taking it out on you. We don’t know what everyone is going through in their personal life and maybe your success and/or actions have caused jealousy or insecurity in another person and they lashed out at you because they feel inferior. Everyone has bad days, so stop thinking that you did something wrong or that they feel a certain way about you. Their lashing out is most likely because they’re upset with themselves in that moment. When you come across someone who’s being rude or short with you, I encourage you to confront them about it a non-aggressive way and nip it in the bud before you begin to hold a grudge. In this episode, I’m going to discuss different areas in our lives where we can stop taking things personally and stop thinking eve

A lot of us say “yes” to things that we really don’t want to do, myself included. Today I’m talking about why it’s okay to say “no.” If you want more time, freedom and energy, you have to start saying “no” to the things that don’t serve you and your goals. You don’t have to make excuses and explain yourself. It’s okay to just say “no” and go on with your life. Staying true to yourself will allow you to live the life you desire.   Key Takeaway: Saying “no” is the ultimate self-care   Highlights: Saying “yes” because we think it makes us a good person Feeling drained because of saying “yes” to everyone and not leaving personal time Take the time to do what makes you happy Evaluate if saying “yes” brings you closer to your goal or further away from your goal Say “yes” if it makes you feel your best Determining your core values For daily fitness, nutrition and life inspiration, as well as a glimpse into my daily life, follow me on Instagram and Facebook!   Instagram: @morgan.a.kline Facebook: Coffee & Kettl

77: The Most Nutrient-Dense Superfood in the World with Catharine Arnston   Today I sit down with Catharine Arnston, the CEO, chief science officer and founder of ENERGYbits. We discuss the health benefits of an unlikely superfood: algae. Arnston first became inspired to start this company 10 years ago, when her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. When her doctor insisted that she begin an alkaline diet, Arnston began researching and stumbled across algae, which is the most nutrient-dense superfood in the world. Since then, Arnston has dedicated her life to teaching the public just how beneficial algae can be for your overall health and well-being. These benefits are largely due to the nutrient profile present within algae, as it provides your body with all the vitamins and minerals that it needs to stay healthy. All of the algae sold by ENERGYbits are ketogenic and high in protein, contain essential fatty acids and provide essential nutrients that most people don’t receive in their normal diets.   Key T

In this solocast, I break down my personal health routine and offer tips on how to achieve your dream fitness goals. We often find ourselves stressed, overwhelmed and entirely unmotivated to stick to our fitness routines when our already busy lives go into overdrive. So how do we change that? Today I give you the inside scoop on how I balance my career, workout schedule and health, so you can start to build your own personal health routine and achieve your best life. When you positively identify why you want to live a healthier life, you will start to proactively cut out bad habits and automatically adopt healthy lifestyle changes!   Key Takeaway: Be gentle with yourself! Focus on empowering your body rather than dissing it. It’s good to be driven and have serious goals, but by slowly implementing healthy choices into your life and appreciating your ability to transform with each day, you will turn those new habits into a completely new lifestyle.   Highlights: The benefits of working out 4 to 5 times a week

In this solocast, I discuss why you should ditch the scale for good and how you can replace it with healthier alternatives. The scale has traditionally been viewed as the best way to measure one’s health; however, it isn’t the best metric because it doesn’t take your overall health into account. Your typical scale doesn’t measure other influential aspects of your health, including nutrition, eating habits, exercise and sleep. If you’re currently on a weight loss journey, you should consider ditching the scale entirely and instead focusing on weekly progress photos and measuring your body fat percentage.   Key Takeaway: If you’re on a weight loss journey, consider ditching the scale because it can’t give you an accurate picture of your overall health and the number on the scale can become an obsession. Highlights: You should ditch the scale because it isn’t the best metric to measure your health, nutrition, exercise or overall fitness. It is possible to lose body fat while gaining weight because muscle weighs

Welcome to part two of Beyond the Pill with Dr. Jolene Brighten. In this episode, we cover alternative hormone therapy and acne treatments. We also discuss dietary habits and how dairy can affect breakouts, fertility method awareness and what to do if your doctor highly recommends you get on hormonal birth control for treating disease symptoms. Key Takeaway: There are alternative methods to deal with hormone disruption in your body. There may be a time when using hormonal birth control is appropriate, but make sure your doctor has a plan to get you off of it as soon as possible. Highlights: Alternative acne treatments Eating the right kind of oils Avoiding dairy Getting hormone tests Not getting pregnant six months after going off the pill Fertility awareness method educators Steps to take if you must use hormonal birth control and making sure your doctor has a plan to wean you off of it  Find more from Dr. Jolene Brighten: Instagram: @drjolenebrighten Buy her book: Beyond the Pill Website: https://drbrigh

In the first episode of a two-part series, I sit down with Dr. Jolene Brighten and dive into the topic of hormonal birth control and post-birth control syndrome. Dr. Brighten is a functional naturopathic doctor, nutritional biochemist and author of the newly released book, Beyond the Pill. In her new book, Dr. Brighten strives to provide women with accurate information regarding birth control, show support for those on the pill and offer tools that will balance hormones without the use of hormonal birth control. Dr. Brighten wrote this book as a way to educate women on their bodies while also fighting against myths and misinformation regarding menstruation and fertility. In addition, this episode discusses how women can start dismantling the gender bias within the medical industry by being aware of gaslighting, tracking their symptoms and being informed of medicinal alternatives. Key Takeaway: By giving women all of the available information regarding hormonal birth control, they can make empowering decisions

Gossip is the topic of today’s podcast. Almost everyone gossips and while you might not realize it you could be gossiping too. Gossip can be a part of normal interactions and conversations with friends and family and while you might not mean ill intent, it’s best to start filtering your thoughts and realize when you’re gossiping. Also, take note of the people around you who are gossiping and audit who you’re hanging out with. In this episode I talk about why people feel the need to gossip, the affects it has on yourself and others as well as how to stop gossiping. Key Takeaway: Start trying to limit your gossip and begin to change the direction of a conversation if the people around you are gossiping. Highlights: You’d be surprised at how much you gossip Saying hurtful things Gossiping for attention Putting others down to feel better about yourself We don’t know what people are going through/what their story is Spreading false information Surrounding yourself with positive people Filtering your thoughts Chan

Courtney Burish is back on the show today. Courtney is a coach with the Primal Health Institute and works one on one with clients through a series of nutrition and lifestyle protocols. Today we’re getting into the weeds about dairy. Dairy’s very controversial in the health world and confuses almost everyone. We know that most dairy products you buy in the grocery store are inflammatory and over processed. These products lead to digestion issues, mucus build up, contribute to autoimmune disease and even hormone related cancers. However, there are some types of full fat unadulterated dairy that have health benefits, which you can include into your diet a few times a month. In this episode Courtney teaches us which types of dairy we should incorporate if we absolutely want to keep eating dairy. We also discuss dairy alternatives, for those of you who are trying to get off dairy products. Key Takeaway: Avoid nonfat and over processed homogenized dairy. If you’re going to eat dairy, consume full fat and raw dairy

Welcome back to another episode of Coffee & Kettlebells. Today’s episode is all about the power of compliments. Often times in our day-to-day lives we see people and have kind or positive thoughts about them, but we don’t say anything. This might be out of fear of their reaction, or feeling venerable within ourselves. Though it might be uncomfortable at first, giving out compliments has to power to change someone’s day, week or life. It requires little effort on our end and will make you and the person you give the complement to, light up. Key Takeaway: Start verbalizing the positive things you’re seeing in others. Step outside of your comfort zone and extend a compliment to someone else. Start today. Highlights: Feeling vulnerable giving out compliments Acknowledging things in others doesn’t detract from things about yourself Uplifting others uplifts you The energy you put out into the universe is the energy you get back Auditing yourself and realize why you’re not giving compliments Complimenting stran

Nicole Granato joins on me on the podcast today. Nicole is a holistic nutritionist and wellness coach, who specializes in treating hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, eating disorders and much more. Today’s we’re discussing PCOS “Polycystic ovary syndrome” The Mayo Clinic’s definition of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs. Nicole challenges this traditional definition of PCOS. In her opinion you shouldn’t be diagnosed with PCOS unless an ultrasound shows you have cysts on your ovaries. Traditionally Dr.’s treat PCOS by prescribing Birth Control. In this episode Nicole challenges that treatment option and provides holistic ways to treat PCOS. She cured her own PCOS without the use of Birth Control or other medication and has helped many
