Metabolic Mastery and the Art of Wellness with Ellie Kempton, MSN, RDN
In the latest episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Ellie Kempton, the founder of Simply Nourished and a functionally trained dietitian. Ellie discussed her inspiring journey from a young athlete struggling with her health to becoming a functional trained registered dietician. Here you will learn key insights on metabolic mastery, sustaining healthy habits, and reclaiming agency over our wellness journey.
Discovering the Language of the Body
Ellie shared her personal health journey, which started with distrust in her body as a young athlete. This disconnect led her to truly understand how nutrition and lifestyle play pivotal roles in regaining alignment with one’s body. Ellie emphasized the importance of tuning into the body's signals rather than suppressing them, highlighting how they can reveal crucial insights about our health.
The Table: A Sanctuary for Women’s Wellness
At the core of Ellie’s philosophy is "The Table," a unique membership program she founded, promoting human-led wellness through education and compassion. The Table brings together women to learn about metabolic mastery, adrenal health, hormone balance, and digestion throughout different life stages. It’s a community where complex science is simplified and members feel seen and supported.
Unraveling Metabolic Mastery
Ellie’s concept of "metabolic mastery" is fascinating. She describes it as understanding how cells process information from food and the environment to create energy. Ellie views metabolic health through six levers:
Gut health
Cortisol regulation
Detox and elimination
Appropriate information intake
Exposure to safety
Blood sugar regulation.
ABCs of Sustaining Healthy Habits
A: Awareness
Ellie stresses the transformative power of awareness—knowing your ecosystem and how choices affect you. This involves gathering information about your health early on, such as running baseline labs, which helps navigate changes across the decades.
B: Behavior
Ellie advocates for embracing the smallest version of a new behavior. She calls it creating a "trailhead," which becomes the cornerstone of habit formation, making success attainable and sustainable.
C: Celebration
Ellie emphasizes celebrating every win, no matter how small, to build a positive mindset and support each step of your journey. This celebration fosters joy and reinforces progress.
The Power of Identity and Affirmation
Ellie revealed a compelling secret to wellness: aligning your identity with your health goals. Transitioning your mindset from "I want to be healthy" to "I am becoming healthy" empowers your progress and fortifies your resolve. This shift from goal-centric to identity-driven behaviors forms the core of sustainable wellness.
Guiding Your Journey
Ellie shared her personal practices, including meditation, gratitude journaling, and intentional breaks for joy, which have aided her in rewriting her narrative. These practices can be tailored to your own needs, gently integrating new health habits into your daily life.
Ellie encourages listeners to implement bite-sized changes inspired by this discussion. She invites everyone to celebrate their wins, share their milestones, and be part of a community that uplifts and inspires one another.
