BEANS FOR BREAKFAST?! HOW BEANTOK CHANGED MY ENERGY, MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS, AND LIFE! (385)

Beans for breakfast?! If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen #BeanTok and the Dr. Karen Hurd Bean Protocol everywhere—and I’m living proof of just how deeply this conversation is landing with women.

After sharing my own beans-for-breakfast journey online, my TikTok account has reached nearly half a million views in less than a month, and I can barely keep up with the comments. That’s how many women are desperately searching for a simple, affordable food shift to change how they look and feel—without living in constant pain, inflammation, sleepless nights, or mental health struggles.

For the past seven weeks, I’ve been eating beans every morning and paying close attention to how my body responds, especially as a woman navigating menopause symptoms. In this episode, I’m sharing what surprised me the most, the benefits I’ve personally experienced, and why this habit has become a non-negotiable in my daily routine.

I talk about:

  • Why BeanTok has exploded and why women are resonating so deeply

  • The energy, digestion, and hormone-support benefits I noticed firsthand

  • How beans support blood sugar balance, gut health, and inflammation

  • Why soluble fiber is the missing piece we should’ve learned about years ago

  • How the food is medicine approach feels more relevant now than ever

Beans aren’t a trend—they’re a return to basics. And if you’ve been searching for a way to feel better in your body without extreme rules or suffering, this episode is for you.

Lastly, if you really want to invest in this bean wellness/lifestyle you are going to want to grab the “champagne” of beans through Rancho Gordo. Heads up! The waitlist has over 20,000 people on it! I know how insane that sounds, but it is 100% true and I joined anyway. You can check out there product here: https://www.ranchogordo.com/

The holidays can be one of the hardest times of year, especially if you don’t have family to celebrate with or you’re choosing to spend them alone.

MY NO BULL MOMENT: THE PITCH TO MIKE REPOLE (381)

This is the episode — the biggest pitch of my career. Today, I’m putting it all on the line and pitching Mike Repole to run his podcast network under his powerhouse brand, No Bull.

For those who may not know, Mike Repole is an American entrepreneur, businessman, and racehorse owner — best known for co-founding Glaceau (Vitaminwater), which sold to Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion, and BODYARMOR SuperDrink, which later sold to Coca-Cola for $5.6 billion. He’s a visionary, a disruptor, and someone whose “No Bull” approach to business has inspired millions, myself included.

Mike, I cannot wait to hear what you think! You can reach me directly at hello@kellynncares.com — just 15 minutes is all I need to show you what I can do. And if the role’s already filled, at least you’ll know I’m always here to consult.

This is my No Bull moment.

FROM CHAOS TO CLARITY: HOW TO FINALLY GET YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS TOGETHER (380)

In this episode, I’m diving into The Chaos to Clarity Masterclass — created for the entrepreneurs, creators, and women who are done feeling overwhelmed and ready to get organized once and for all.

I’m sharing the story behind the masterclass, what inspired me to create it, and the exact strategies that will help you move from scattered and stressed to focused and fierce.

If you’re ready to streamline your systems, reclaim your time, and step into your most productive era, this episode is your wake-up call.

As always, thank you so much for listening, sharing, and reviewing! It truly means the world to me!
