80. Midlife Gut Health Secrets Series Part 2: Why You Are Having Constipation, Diarrhea and Food Sensitivities and the Strategies You Need with Kelly Schmidt
It was so great to sit down with Kelly Schmidt, a functional dietitian and founder of Kelly Schmidt Wellness, to explore the intricate links between gut health, hormonal shifts, and overall well-being in midlife. I have been on a quest in Season 2 to bring more midlife gut health episodes starting in Episode 79 with my own story and struggles with gut health. Welcome to Part 2 of the Series.
Kelly shares her insights on how hormonal changes, particularly the drop in estrogen, can lead to common digestive issues like bloating, food sensitivities, and constipation.
Kelly discusses how stress, lifestyle habits, and even some commonly prescribed medications can exacerbate gut issues, often creating a cycle of digestive distress that affects mood, energy, and metabolism. She emphasizes the importance of supporting the body through dietary strategies like mindful eating, proper food sequencing, and including diverse, whole foods in the diet.
You will also gain a fresh perspective on managing stress through daily routines and anchoring meal times to stabilize cortisol levels, improve digestion, and support mental clarity. Whether dealing with autoimmune concerns, fluctuating blood sugar, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with food, Kelly offers actionable insights that anyone can implement.

My favorite evening drink (or dessert) is Organifi Gold Chocolate. It is like a "healthy dark hot chocolate". With reishi mushrooms and lemon balm extract for calming and relaxing, it's perfect in the afternoon or evening. Gold also has superfoods like tumeric and ginger. It's nonGMO, vegan and organic.

“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
