[00:10] Kacey K: Welcome to the Simply Healthy You podcast, your place for overcoming overwhelm with your health to reach your fullest potential. I'm your host, Kacey Kane, and I am so pumped to have you here. I'm a recovering, burnt out high achiever who is diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid, a condition by my early thirty s. I didn't realize that running myself ragged in the name of being superwoman and determined to achieve all the things in life was killing my body. I created this podcast so that you don't have to continue the struggle like I did for over a decade. I sat down, studied the data, and simplified what it means to prioritize your own health needs so that you can be the best for all the things on your to do. List. Everything you hear on this podcast, I have tested and implemented in my own super pact, life with my family to bring you the tips, tools, and strategies that will keep your life simply healthy. Hello and welcome to another episode of Simply Healthy You. I'm your host, Kacey Kane, an integrative health practitioner and certified holistic nutritionist with a Master's in Psychology, and I am here to bring you science based conversations to help you live a healthier and happier life. Today I want to take you on a personal journey. My journey. I don't think I've ever really spent an entire episode on this podcast yet in the two years, over two years that I have been running it, diving into my entire journey. So I thought it might be helpful to kind of go through the whole thing. I'll try not to take too many tangents. There's a lot of tangents in my journey, as I am sure there is in yours as well, but I'm going to help kind of paint the picture of how I got to where I am today, from the struggles I faced with my health to how I turned them into a passionate career of empowering other women. So sit back, let's dive in. It starts in my late twenty s. I don't know, it sounds like one of those fun autobiography things like it all started, but it really did kick off mostly in my late twenty s. I mean, I could look back throughout my health history and see the red flags going back to childhood. To be honest, I had developed asthma as a child and there's a lot of different things I think, that happen as children that show us that we have genetic predispositions to certain things. Asthma is definitely correlated to autoimmune conditions and things like that. So if I really wanted to go back, it could go back for a long way. Chronic tonsil issues, never actually got them taken out and I'm really grateful for that. That's a story for another day. Chronic ear infections, a lot of different things like that. But really, I think this part of my journey began in my late 20s when I was experiencing severe health issues in a number of different ways. And despite seeing numerous doctors and trying various diets and treatments, I have been into health and wellness for a very long time. And so I have always been tweaking my diet and exercising and in not so healthy ways. I had fallen victim to many diet culture bullshit scams in the past. Hence why I am so adamantly passionate about bashing them at any point that I get, but also empowering you with better information. And I think by the time I was 27 I had four different daily prescriptions. One for IBS, which is just a bullshit diagnosis of we don't know what's going on with your gut. So here's an antispasmotic. So you don't shit yourself all the time, right? I mean you might err on the side of the constipation where they're going to give you some kind of crappy fiber supplement and tell you to take that every day. Crappy pun, not intended there. But that was a funny one that came up. I had one for my significant acne that I was struggling with always all the time. One for my asthma that I was just mentioning and then birth control, of course, because birth control fixes everything. It's the natural band aid that we all need to be on, right? Looking back now I'm like, well yeah, I mean no wonder shit got fucked up so much. But at the time I didn't know what I didn't know. And I unfortunately, or fortunately for you, got to go through this at a very young age and I think many women are just discovering some of these things now. I know many women are still on birth control in the later years of their life which is going to have some significant long term impacts. But my body was already shutting down by the time I was in my late 20s because hormone issues, things like that. I do also think that there is a bit of trauma that certainly plays a role in how quickly our body gets depleted. And I grew up in a very traumatic household. There was nothing normal about my childhood in that respect. And so I do think that that certainly contributed to how stressed out and depleted my body must have been in to get to this point by the time I was in my twenty s. And I think I've always had that personality to be very go go, very high achieving and to a fault. I will absolutely say it was to a fault for a large part of my life and now in my thirty s I am learning to undo those habits. But that certainly takes a long time and so I can really see with a lot of clarity over the years looking through my history as to how I got to where I was from such an early age. And I spoke with all of these doctors and got an array of bullshit responses from them, like, this is just how my body is, or this is all stress related and I need to reduce my stress. I was working multiple jobs, so I feel like that was an easy answer for them to give. But no one ever asked me about my diet. Not that they would be educated about it anyway. No one asked me about my lifestyle, other contributing factors, what kind of toxin, exposure I might have had, any of that kind of thing. No one asked about any of that. And I got the same answer that many of us have gotten. If I lost a few pounds, that would help. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? All the same bullshit that we've all heard. It's like, for decades now, it's been the same answers, and I don't really understand how that's acceptable for conventional medicine to be so slow to get up on what data is showing us. I forget the statistic, but it's something ridiculous. It takes about seven years for conventional medicine to catch up to what the data is showing. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be seven years behind. And that's also another reason why I don't bother to really figure out how to work with insurance companies. I know that there are some nutritionists and dietitians and integrative practitioners who will try to figure out how they can do that. I don't want to because insurance is what dictates all of that bullshit, and I don't really want anyone telling me how to do my job anywho. Every time that I asked about something, every time I saw a different doctor, I was seeing a gastroenterologist, I was seeing a dermatologist, I was seeing my gynecologist, and then I had my general practitioner. And every time I asked them, like, well, are you sure that this prescription isn't also contributing to the problem? No. Or could my diet be better? No, that can't possibly be it, because I was eating a more well balanced diet than the standard American diet. But I know now that it still wasn't optimal, and these doctors have no training to know otherwise. They really don't. I did not know at the time that I was asking questions to the people who didn't have the answers, and they weren't going to have the answers. I knew, though, that this couldn't be it, that by the time I was going to be hitting 30, I was going to be deteriorating at such a rapid rate. There was no way that this was my destiny from my 20s on to live life like this. It had gotten so bad by the time I was in my early 30s that I could barely function on many days because of the fatigue and the brain fog. I had started gaining weight. No matter what I did, my sleep quality was absolute shit, despite being utterly exhausted all the time. And I barely ever had a period because I was on birth control constantly and was told that it was safe. So at this point I know like my hormones were doing absolutely nothing. No wonder my thyroid didn't feel supported at all. And it got to the point that when I met my husband, there were times early in our relationship that I had to forego plans that we had made with friends and things like that because I was just too exhausted. And again, some of this I thought was attributed to the job that I had at the time. I was managing a very prominent bakery in Connecticut where we used to live and during holiday season is when this got particularly worse for me. One specific year, I remember the year before we were getting married and I kind of just attributed to the fact that I was certainly doing like 60 hours weeks or something crazy like that. And it's busy time for people who make cupcakes and cakes, right? Delicious treats. But then after the new year when things started to slow down and my body never bounced back, that's when I really knew that something was going wrong. Still, I had changed so much. I had gotten off of so many of the prescriptions at this point. I had gotten off of birth control, but I knew something was still wrong here. So I started to do my own research. I am a researcher at heart. I took calculus and physics in college because I thought it would be fun and interesting because I love science so much. I know I'm crazy. I did an extra research project for my master's. Instead of getting a master's of Education, I went for a Master's of Science and did an extra research project because I love research so much. So I started doing my own research again for the millionth time. It's not like I never did research within the health and wellness space prior to this. It's how I was able to make so many changes up until my early thirty s to at least hold off what was the impending doom inside of my body at the time. But I really started diving in further. I was attending webinars, I was reading books by experts, I found experts long before social media was teeming with the ways to connect with qualified practitioners. And I basically had discovered that hypothyroidism shared a lot of the symptoms I was experiencing and had diagnosed myself before I could get a doctor to even test me for it. I'm really grateful that I ended up coming across a naturopathic physician in Connecticut who ended up becoming my guiding light really toward understanding my health issues. We ended up moving shortly after I started working with her. And so then it sort of began this cycle all over again. But let me rewind a little bit so I find this natural path. By the time she talks with me in just one appointment and is like, yep, it does sound like you have thyroid. Yep. I think we need to support your adrenals. Like, we were on the same page and I had already known all of this information and it was such a breath of relief. When you finally talk to a practitioner who understands what you're going through and can tell you and put a name to some of the things that you are feeling, man, does that feel good. Let me tell you, by the time, though, that her and I had gotten together and then she had to refer me to an endocrinologist because she didn't have the ability to run the labs to confirm the numbers of what we suspected. So she had a popular endocrinologist that she referred to who had a balance of Eastern versus Western medicine in her repertoire. She had studied a bit more and was a little bit more, a little less conventional than a typical endocrinologist. So we tested my TSH, and I don't honestly remember if we did a full panel or not. So that could have been part of the problem of not fully figuring out the root cause at that time. But I did have my TSH tested and I was over a five. And even for conventional medicine, that is well off the chart. I think the chart goes to about four, maybe 4.5. And by that point, you are definitely symptomatic. I mean, you are in full blown disease state. And I was above that. I was a five point something. I don't remember exactly, but I know I was over a five. So no fucking wonder I was a walking zombie. In this time of my life, my thyroid hormone was tanking, and at the age of 33, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune thyroid disease. Now, I caught it pretty early. The endocrinologist was very impressed and surprised that I actually was feeling so symptomatic and that I was so in tune with it, because many women don't get this diagnosis until later on in their lives. And by the time that she sees them, when they went to do the ultrasound on my thyroid to see how bad the damage was or any of that kind of stuff, it really was barely damaged. And I'm holding on to hope for that because obviously, if your organ gets damaged, being able to come off of synthetic hormone I have been taking synthetic hormones since then to replace the thyroid hormone that wasn't happening. But coming off of synthetic hormone is a lot harder when the organ is damaged that is supposed to be producing that hormone. Right? So the endocrinologist I was referred to to get the diagnosis told me that I would have to rely on medication for the rest of my life. She said it was very unlikely, even though I caught it early, that I would ever not be able to take thyroid hormone. The news was certainly challenging, but after all the research I had done and read about the people who were able to come off of thyroid medication, I knew I could do the same. Now I'm not there yet. I'm certainly not there yet. I didn't have all of the information at that time, but I felt so much better after starting medication that I thought like, okay, this is it. I figured it out and I have a thyroid condition and I'm going to be able to heal from this somehow. And thankfully, a low dose has always worked well for my body. I was able to stay on a low dose for a pretty long time during my second pregnancy, I ended up having to increase slightly, but I'm on a pretty low dose, and so I'm really hopeful that that can stay that way and I can still wean off of it. But what ended up happening is I was feeling so much better. I was diagnosed in April of 2017. I got married in October of that year and then was pregnant by the end of December. We were not preventing pregnancy, and I just feel very grateful that it was so easy for us. We said, all right, let's see what happens. We definitely didn't think it was going to happen that quickly, especially with having just started to recover from my thyroid issue. I thankfully had energy to get through my wedding day and it was wonderful. Looking back. It was a lot for my body to go through in one year's time. But I was feeling so much better after the medication and getting that hormone into my body that I really thought I was on the right road. My first pregnancy was very difficult, though, and it was a glaringly obvious sign that things were not well. The increase in thyroid hormone had certainly helped my body feel better in some ways, but I now know, looking back, that it didn't address the root cause of why my thyroid was having issues to begin with. I gained nearly 80 pounds during my first pregnancy. I am only five one, so being 200 pounds was so hard on my body, it was so difficult to carry, and it's distributed so differently during pregnancy. It was such a challenge. I had so much edema during my pregnancy. Labor and delivery did not go anything like I had hoped. And I know that lots of women out there will tell you, like, create a birth plan, but don't get frustrated if it doesn't go according to plan. I mean, this was completely blown out of the water. Like, not a single thing went according to plan, and not just because I had preferences, but nothing about my body was even functioning properly at that point. I'm grateful that everything went kicked into gear naturally, but I ended up having a C section because my blood pressure started to skyrocket and I did not feel well supported in that delivery room and so I kind of just gave in to the conventional medicine approach, and I hated it. I hated every bit of it. So I ended up extremely anxious. I had a lot of postpartum anxiety. I had a lot of postpartum depression. I had a lot to work through. I saw a therapist for a while after that because I just felt like my body had failed at the thing that it was supposed to do. And I know many women share a similar feeling when things don't go according to plan. But I also knew in my heart of hearts that this had to be a part of this thyroid issue. It all had to stem back to something, and I knew that there had to be a missing piece. And so instead of accepting a lifetime of pharmaceuticals and struggling with my health, this really became a second turning point for me to embark on a mission of uncovering the root cause of my issues, really understanding what root cause actually meant in the first place, because I think so many people use that phrase, and not in the right way. Like, my hashimoto's is not the root cause of all of my health issues. Something is causing my body to attack my thyroid that's not normal functioning. And yes, I probably have a genetic predisposition if I look at my other family members who have not been officially diagnosed. My sister has the same thing. But there are other people in our family who have not been diagnosed who have similar symptoms and issues throughout their entire lives. We are probably genetically predisposed to this, right? But as I've said many times, you have the ability to turn off those switches and to not be symptomatic at any given time, to not be in an active disease state at any given time. And it comes down to those root causes, what is causing the body to malfunction in that way. And so, fueled by my determination, I delved into the research again, leaving no stone unturned. I mean, I can't tell you the amount of hours it's immeasurable at this point. I really couldn't tell you so much of the information that I have. I have had many women ask me about the certifications that I have completed most recently, and have asked about some of the information that I share in my content and have said, oh, did you learn that in this certification? That certification. And much of these things I didn't learn in these certifications. Much of these things I have learned from all of the research I did on my own. And the beauty of being an integrative health practitioner is that I get the flexibility to do that. I can decide with my own time where I am spending my time learning who I am learning from. And I really have made it a mission of mine to learn from a variety of sources, people who don't always necessarily agree with each other. And I listen to opposing sides, not on the extremes. I mean, I listen to the extremes because I need to know what I'm up against as far as the bullshit out there. But I don't really take what they say to heart because most of it I mean, I look into it, but most of it is bullshit. But I think there's a lot of people in the middle of this health and wellness space that have a lot of great things to say and have a lot of different perspectives, maybe even on the same piece of research. And so I dove into the research again. I left no stone unturned. I firmly believe that there had to be a way to rebalance my body and regain control of my health naturally. It was during this quest, after I had my daughter, that I discovered this new purpose. I fucked around for a little bit with the Beach Body MLM network marketing bullshit, right? I thought that was going to be a way. And I genuinely loved exercise and was never a gym person, so I loved the at home programs. I now know that Beachbody is full of nothing but crap. They don't teach anything properly. They are diet culture 100%. And I don't care about this whole new revamp and everything else they've done in the past couple of years. It's still bullshit. They're just trying to capitalize on the key trends right now, like having some kind of gut rebalancing something or other that they claim to have. It's all just bullshit. It's absolutely bullshit. And so I ended up stumbling across a holistic nutritionist certification while I was trying to build my network marketing business. And that is where I realized that I was missing pieces, right? That is when I was like, okay, this is it. If I go for this certification, I think this is going to help me connect all the dots. And so I did that certification and ended up completely shutting down everything beach Body in the time that it was a six month program and I ended up finishing it in five. I've got a habit of trying to finish these things as quickly as possible, but that's because I can't stop learning. I love absorbing that information. I'm grateful and thankful that my brain works in that way to be able to absorb information at a pretty quick rate and start putting things into practice. Do I still refer back to all of my books? Absolutely. Always. I mean, I am not yet a full encyclopedia. I can't house all of that there. And as a mom, there's a lot of other shit that takes some space in my brain, so I certainly still go and refer back to things, but there's so much that I am able to absorb in a short period of time. And so over the course of doing this holistic nutrition certification, I shut down my Beach Body business. I shut down everything I was buying from Beachbody. And over a year ago now, I think we finally shut down our subscription to the workouts because we were no longer using them. And I just realized that they were so poorly designed, especially for women. I mean, they are absolutely horribly designed for women who are still in their reproductive years, especially their workouts are going to tank your hormones. But anywho, this isn't about them. And that was when I really started thinking about creating my own business to empower other women who are facing similar challenges, who are getting the same bullshit answers for years and years and years. Because as I shared my story, I realized that there were so many of us out there, there's so many of us that have gotten the same answers, that have similar struggles because we've been exposed to similar things that are all destroying our health. With the newfound knowledge that I had from that certification and really always having a strong passion for holistic approaches to well being. Like looking at someone as a whole person, looking at your life, looking at your diet, looking at your exercise, looking at your stressors, looking at your mental health, looking at your family history, your medical history. I've always just been so adamant that you have to look at the person as a whole. You are a whole person. You are complex. And while there are certainly a lot of similarities amongst my clients, a lot of things that are very similar, a lot of things get thrown off in similar ways. For all of us as women, what got you there is different than the person next to you. And that's important because that is what your root cause is going to be deep down inside of those layers that we need to peel back. On the surface level, a lot of us have the same symptoms, but at the core of it, your root cause could be very different than someone else's. And so with this newfound knowledge, I couldn't keep it to myself. I knew that I had to do something. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to guide women towards a life free from the constraints of conventional medicine that just were keeping us stuck. And that's when I decided to really share my story. I had amazing feedback from people on social media back when social media was a different place. Seriously, just three years ago, social media was so different than it is right now, and especially if you were someone who was trying to start a business and connect with people. I started sharing my story, my journey, and I officially created Simply Healthy Kacey LLC in March of 2020. Yes. Right before the world decided to shut down. It was an interesting time. I will say that every year of my business, it has been a learning curve because nothing has been the same. I think the way that everyone is looking at their health and wellness is very different now than they were three years ago. And I'm grateful for that. I think so many of you have become so much more inquisitive and curious and ask questions. You should always be asking questions, right? I think it's such an important part when it comes to our health because even, I mean, there is no expert, right? I'm not an expert at all the things. I can't answer everything. I will do my best to find the answers for you, of course, and refer you to people who do have those answers. But I'm never going to pretend to be the person that knows everything. I've got a lot of fucking knowledge. I've done a lot of research. I've done a lot of certifications since that holistic nutrition certification. I also completed a plant based nutrition certificate and then just recently also completed two certifications to become an integrative health practitioner. Level two, which means I not only have the ability to help you with detoxing and stress and those types of things diet, exercise but I also have the knowledge and the qualifications to interpret seven different functional medicine lab tests and they promise to have more available to us in the future. And of course, I'm always going to be adding on to those. And so those are the most recent certifications that I have completed. And I'm just so grateful for all of it. I'm so grateful to be able to have connected all those dots. And I have such a clear picture now of what I need to do for my own health and what I can also help women do so that it doesn't take you nearly a decade like it has me to get these things answered. I mean, if this started around the time when I was 27, I'm about to be 40 next year. So I've spent over a decade now researching all the things that I possibly could in the health and wellness space. And there are things that a few years ago I believed and touted that I don't anymore. And I am never one to say, like, I'm never one to not admit that that I changed my mind on something because I read something else that showed me more compelling information in favor of something else. I think that it's such a stupid place to be when it comes to being a practitioner in the health and wellness space. Anybody in the health and wellness space, really, it would be stupid to stay stuck where you are, whether you like, and to think that no matter what research comes out, no matter what data you read, that someone else might not also have some data that could be compelling and possibly add to or transform the journey. I'm all about finding all the information that I can to make sure that I'm doing the best for my clients. And if that means changing plans, then that means changing plans. And some of the women who are in Simply Healthy Academy right now, they've been with me for about a year now, a few of them, and they'll tell you that Simply Healthy Academy has drastically changed in that time. I am constantly changing that program as I learn, and there are some things that I have specifically said to them. I used to think that was the best way to go about it, and it was helpful, but I found a better way, and this is what we're going to do now, and it works. These changes work. And I'm never one to shut that down just because I want to stay stuck in my ego and not look at what might be best for my clients, even if it means admitting that I maybe wasn't saying the best thing the last time around. So I officially created my business in March of 2020, and it has been smooth sailing ever since. No, that is a load of bullshit. It's fucking hard, I'll tell you. It's been fucking hard being an entrepreneur. But I love it. I can't say I love every minute of it. I think it's just like parenthood, right? I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I don't love every minute of it, and I think it gets to be both. And being an entrepreneur is very similar to parenthood in that way. My mission and my business is to empower you and to empower women across the world eventually, someday. I'd love to be known in all the places to take control of your health and thrive. Really what it comes down to is I want you to feel like you have the knowledge and the ability to take control of your own health. We can talk about hormones, we can talk about gut and all the specific things that I always put in my marketing and everything else. And yes, that's all a part of it. But really, my mission is to empower you. I want you to take control of your health and I want you to thrive. And I know that you can do that yourself, just the same as I have been doing it on my journey. Now I have a full product suite of services. I have Simply Healthy Academy, you know, my signature 20 week group coaching program. That's my baby. That's been growing ever since the first round in June of 2020 or July of 2020, and that's been going strong ever since. I've been running rounds ever since I've had people enrolled in that first round and ever since. And that has been just a fantastic, fantastic program. I love seeing the growth of that program. Like I said, I'm constantly investing in that, and I really have created it to be the foundational program. You could go through that program multiple times and learn something new every single time, as I have had many clients do. And the accountability and support in there is unlike anything else. I mean it is a group coaching program but I say all the time that I have designed it to be a hybrid one on one and group coaching program. You get the personalization and customization of all the things that you need, your nutrition, your supplementation, your exercise, your mindset, work, your mental health. We personalize all of that to every single person inside of the program. But you also get the benefit of being in a group and having that support and accountability from other women who are going on the same journey as you. Maybe not with the same issues, but on the same journey and with that same openness. And the support I see amongst the clients in there, whether they are in their 20s or in their 60s, whether they are post menopausal or trying to conceive, it really covers the gamut of my clients. And I think that is such a beautiful thing that simply healthy academy can bring these women together and help them all heal in ways that work for all of the different stages of life. Right? And I've really designed it for that purpose. Everyone can fit into that program and it's not because I'm trying to make a million dollars. I mean that'd be great. I'd be good with just making a little bit a salary of some kind off of my business. I have yet to get there and I'm not ashamed to admit that I have been very intentional about what I've done in this business in order to make it sustainable both for my personal life and professional life. It's paying for itself. But I haven't taken a single dime out of my business yet to pay for personal things. But the reason why I have kept it to slow growth and been very intentional about it is because I want it to be a place where everyone can fit. I want it to be a place where we are able to serve myself and the other two coaches that I now have in the program are able to serve all of the women that are ready to be in that program. So I've got that, that's my baby. But now I have some introductory offers as well. We've got a new hormone free download that is going to be coming soon. As we are working on the website, we are also working on that. I have my 60 day integrative health protocol which is a great introductory package where you get to do the hair tissue mineral analysis lab test with me and we get to make some significant improvements in your health in 60 days. You get a customized protocol inside of there and then after Simply Healthy Academy we also now have Simply Healthy Society. So this is a new place for my continuing clients, my past clients to go that meets a little bit less regularly. Simply Healthy Academy is every single week and I think sometimes as we are continuing the health journey. We don't necessarily need that weekly support. And so this program, Simply Healthy Society, is going to be kind of like an ongoing membership type thing where you can continue to get lab tests done, you can continue to get personalized protocols. From me, it's very much a done for you program, whereas in Simply Healthy Academy, it's sort of like we guide you, it's done with you, right? Because we want you to create that sustainable lifestyle. Simply Healthy Society is really done for you. I know you have the lifestyle in place after you've been through Simply Healthy Academy. And I know you know the framework of what you need to be doing. And so this part is where we really refine working on your specific health issues, getting retested. If you did some testing in Simply Healthy Academy and you've been working on some specific protocols, now we have Simply Healthy Society to continue that. I imagine in that group, that is a newer creation. And so as it evolves, I imagine we might do things like quarterly detoxes together, or once a year everybody's going to do a heavy metal detox just to make sure that we're maintaining our wellness, right? We are constantly exposed to a lot of things and no matter how hard we try to control the environment around us, we can't control everything. And so I think that's part of what I envision for this simply healthy society. So I'm super excited about that. And then there's a top secret surprise that will be coming out. It is hormone related and it will be more of a passive product for you to be able to use on your own time. If being in one of these programs, timing of it, anything like that is not quite the right fit for you right now. I've got something I've been working on behind the scenes that is going to be passive that you can do on your own time and also have access to whenever you need it. And it will be hormone related, so stay tuned for that. We've got a lot of things in the works here over at Simply Healthy headquarters with the website and everything going up. And we're hoping to launch a couple of things at the same time as the website. So it's going to be pretty freaking exciting. So that's my journey. That's my story.
