Epic Health with Kristen Barrett, FDN-P

12/05/2025

6 years sober today and it continues to be the best decision of my life.

There’s so much I want to say to honor this day. But instead I’m writing this on my phone, sitting in a dark gymnastics parking lot while Katherine finishes her class.

I’ve built a life for myself where most days I’m steady and grounded, but some days I’m stretched thin and fall short on words. Today is one of those days.

But it doesn’t really matter because the best way to honor this day is not with words, but by staying committed to myself and my sobriety.

A few years ago I heard a line in a movie that resonated instantly and I’ve thought about it every day since: “Don’t waste a miracle.”

I am a living breathing miracle and not a day goes by I’m not grateful to be alive. And I don’t mean physically alive (although that is also a miracle!), but awake, clear, living my purpose and FULLY ALIVE.

If I were still drinking, I might be here physically… but I’d still be half-dead inside.

Don’t waste a miracle 💜

Heads-up: Today is the FINAL day to join the January Sugar Detox for $99 and get the Holiday Cravings & Cortisol Rescue Pack for free.

After tonight, the price goes up and the bonus pack disappears.

If your body has been giving you signs like:
→ bloating
→ cravings
→ inflammation in your joints
→ sluggish metabolism
→ low energy or brain fog
→ unpredictable digestion
→ weight creeping up for no clear reason

These are the exact symptoms this program is designed to help you shift.

The Epic Health Sugar Detox is a REAL FOOD reset created for women who are tired of restriction, tired of feeling out of control with cravings, and tired of programs that leave them hungry, miserable, or eating out of plastic meal-prep containers.

This reset leaves you feeling nourished, satisfied, and supported from day one.

It’s why past members tell me things like:
✨ “I finally feel in control of my cravings.”
✨ “My energy came back.”
✨ “My bloating is gone.”
✨ “This is the class I wish I had years ago.”

We start January 6th, but your shift can start today with the bonus bundle you’ll get instantly.

👉 Comment “READY” and I’ll drop you the link to save your spot.

Price increases at midnight with no exceptions.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to reclaim your energy, get ahead of your cravings, and feel like yourself again… THIS. IS. IT.

I’ve helped hundreds of women learn how to regain their energy and feel more balanced and I’d love to help you too. 💛

XO,
Kristen

The Black Friday Sale for the Epic Health Sugar Detox is still happening!

This is a 6-week LIVE nutrition group coaching program with a built-in 21-day sugar detox.

You’ll get a clear, step-by-step plan and learn how to eat for your gut, hormones, and energy.

If you’ve been feeling:
…bloated or puffy in the morning
…stuck in a craving cycle you cannot get ahead of
…exhausted even after a full night’s sleep
…inflamed in your joints
…foggy, scattered, or just “not yourself”

You’re not alone! In fact, this is exactly what so many women tell me before they join the detox.

And it’s exactly why this program works so well for this stage of life.

From now through Monday, you can join for $99 (originally $399) 🥳

If you’ve been waiting for a sign or a little nudge to work with me but didn’t want to commit to a full one on one program… let this be it!

👉 DM “READY” and I’ll share the link to register before the Black Friday price ends (price increases after Dec 1).

You deserve to feel lighter, clearer, and more like you again, and this is a beautiful way to start.

XO,
Kristen

P.S. Give me 6 weeks and I’ll help you get back your energy, clear up nutrition advice overwhelm, and set you up to be successful for the rest of the year (heck, for the rest of your life!).

Your gut and your hormones will thank you 🙏

It’s finally happening!!!

Before I get into it… can we talk about how Black Friday apparently started, like… last week?

What are we doing??

At this rate, next year it’ll kick off sometime in early October. It’s ridiculous and honestly, a little annoying. 🙄

As a Gen X’er, I’m a total traditionalist when it comes to marketing. We survived 80’s advertising, 90’s infomercials, and Y2K panic… so we’re pretty immune to marketing nonsense.

I like things honest, straightforward, and without a side of manipulation.

So yes, I’m fully aware of the irony that I am now running a Black Friday sale. 😂

But don’t worry… there are zero gimmicks here. Just a genuinely good deal because I want you to feel better heading into January.

That said - this is the biggest discount EVER on the Epic Health Sugar Detox.

This is my signature six week nutrition program that takes you from bloated and exhausted to lighter, clearer, and full of energy.

And I mean a deep discount 😍 (spoiler: it breaks down to only $16.50 a week 🤯)

We kick of January 6th, but you can reserve your spot starting Thursday evening.

🗓️ The sale runs the evening of Nov 27-Dec 1 *only* (then it goes up to regular price until the doors close in January)

If you’ve been wanting to reset your metabolism and start feeling good again, this is it.

Mark your calendar for Nov 28, because that’s when your Black Friday email (and link to purchase!) will drop.

✌️
Kristen

P.S. This deal ends Dec 1 @ midnight EST. No extension or exceptions. Add the date to your calendar! I will hit you with a few more emails before the sale ends just to make sure you don’t miss out on this stellar deal.

P.S.S. If you want to learn more about things like gut health, hormones, and cortisol weight gain this is for you. 💜

Time change incoming this weekend and if you only do one thing to make the transition easier, make it this:

👉 Get outside within 30 minutes of waking up and here’s why…

Morning sunlight resets your circadian rhythm. The wavelengths from the low sun hits photoreceptors in your eyes. These cells send a signal straight to your suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) which is your brain’s internal clock.

(basically the wavelengths from the sun enter your brain through the eyes and initiate a cascade of events inside your body)

For one, it spikes cortisol at the right time, and sets your cortisol awakening response (this is the strong rise in cortisol the first two hours you’re awake - see slide 1). In fact, your body releases about 50-75% of your total daily cortisol during this time.

Conversely, a flattened cortisol awakening response (see slide 2) increases risk for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and mortality (yep, they’ve actually studied that 😬).

If that’s not convincing enough, sunlight exposure to the retina also increases dopamine and serotonin (which are both linked to motivation, energy, and emotional stability). And c’mon my perimenopause sister - you KNOW you want more of that!

Speaking of perimenopause, your circadian rhythm controls not just sleep but also insulin sensitivity, thyroid hormone conversion, and fat oxidation… all things that take a hit when we start losing estrogen.

Basically, people who get consistent morning light have better blood sugar control and metabolism even when our hormones are working against us.

So if you want better hormones, a happier brain, more energy, and better weight management - get morning light.

Earlier sunrise is a GIFT, not an annoyance.

P.S. Even if it’s cloudy, outdoor light is 10–100x stronger than indoor light. Once the sun’s up (even if it’s a cloudy day), head outside for 5–10 minutes (no sunglasses and no windows between you and the sky).

Your cortisol rhythm is one of the strongest markers tied to your long-term health outcomes. DM me or comment "DUTCH" if you’re interested in testing your hormones.

That’s a wrap on dance season 🎉

Competitions, long rehearsals, backstage nerves, spotlight smiles, and moments that made my mama heart burst wide open.

Looking forward to a few weeks of downtime before Emily embarks on a new set of firsts as she was invited to start Pointe this summer 🩰

It's the most special feeling to see your kids work hard toward something they are passionate about.

Happy last week of school, mamas!

🚨 Still on the fence about the Digestive Wellness Workshop?

ONLY 6 SPOTS LEFT.

Let’s be real — if you’re dealing with bloating, stomach pain, or unpredictable digestion, it’s not just a physical issue.

It’s draining your energy. It’s making social events stressful. It’s keeping you stuck in food fear. And most importantly, it’s messing with other parts of your body you haven’t felt the symptoms arrive from yet.

And it’s probably been this way for too long (remember, symptoms are actually the LAST thing to show up when trouble happens).

But you don’t have to keep guessing.

This Sunday, you’ll learn exactly what your symptoms are trying to tell you and how to start feeling better.

💡 Worried you won’t have time? I get it — but spending 2 hours now could save you from wasting even more time feeling stuck and exhausted. By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with clear, actionable insights.

💡 Not sure it will work for you? This workshop isn’t about one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about becoming the expert of your own body — beginning to understanding your symptoms and knowing how to respond.

💡 Think it’s just easier to deal with it? Imagine how freeing it would feel to enjoy food without fear and live without constant discomfort.

This is your sign. Your gut (literally) is asking for your attention.

📢 Last call to register! Comment “WORKSHOP” below ✉️ and I’ll send you the link to secure your spot.

Your symptoms are messages, not a life sentence and you deserve to feel good in your body again. Don’t leave it all up to fate. You gotta show up and take control if you want to thrive through midlife and beyond 💜

Ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers?
Not here 🙅‍♀️

The other day, someone asked me, ‘Wait…what exactly do you do?’ And honestly, if they’re wondering, I bet a lot of you are too.

So let’s talk about it…

A lot of women come to me after years of frustration bouncing from doctor to doctor, being told their labs are “normal,” and getting generic advice like:

🙄 “It’s probably just stress.”
🙄 “Eat more fiber.”
🙄 “Here’s an acid blocker.”

Meanwhile, they’re still dealing with stomach pain, misfiring bowel movements, painful bloating, and feeling miserable and stuck.

Only now they also feel hopeless because they’ve "tried everything".
If that sounds like you and you’re ready to do things differently, here’s what you need to know:

What I DON’T Do:
❌ Rushed 15-minute appointments that leave you with more questions than answers
❌ Slap random supplements on your symptoms and send you on your way
❌ Hand you a one-size-fits-all plan and hope for the best
❌ Ignore the fact that your gut is running the show when it comes to inflammation, hormones, energy, metabolism, and mood
❌ Treat your body like separate, disconnected parts (because nothing works in isolation!)

What I DO Instead:

✅ Work in packages only – You don’t get a quick-fix appointment with generic advice. You get ongoing, personalized support, direct access to me, and a plan that evolves with you.

✅ Run functional lab testing – I connect the dots between your symptoms and what’s really happening in your body. I’m not here to just help you manage symptoms, I’m here to help you actually restore function.

✅ Give you direct access to me – Through messaging and coaching calls, you’re never left wondering "Am I doing this right?" You get answers when you need them.

✅ Make real-time adjustments – Healing isn’t linear. If something isn’t working, we pivot immediately. No waiting six months for your next appointment.

I work with women who understand healing is a process, not a quick fix found in a pill. My programs are designed with this in mind and because of that, they get answers and results!

If you’re tired of bouncing between specialists, getting dismissed, or being told to “just try probiotics,” let’s actually get to the bottom of it.

Drop a 🔥 in the comments if this hits home, or DM me if you’re ready for real answers.
