79. When Midlife Gut Health Gets Real: Kim & Melissa’s Journey from Unexplained Digestive Issues to Healing

Welcome to Episode 79 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!

In this episode, hosts Kim Hynes and Melissa Slemp engage in an open and vulnerable conversation about their personal journeys with gut health challenges and hormonal shifts over the past year.  They discuss that these are more symptoms to add to the midlife, perimenopausal and post menopausal journey.

Both health coaches want to provide you with support, empathy, and practical advice as they share the ups and downs of navigating these health issues while also guiding their clients. This authentic discussion sheds light on how even experienced health professionals can face significant personal health struggles and shows the importance of tuning in to your body, advocating for yourself, and exploring holistic approaches as well as medical approaches to healing.

Kim and Melissa explain how their gut health issues were unexpected, even with their background in health and wellness and daily eating and lifestyle habits. Melissa shares her sudden onset of severe skin issues in late 2023, initially misdiagnosed as eczema, which persisted and worsened over time. She details her frustrations and describes her ongoing treatments. 

Kim then opens up about her battle with severe constipation, which began in early 2024 and led her to try various dietary changes, digestive aids, and functional medicine testing. After more medical testing, a clear colonoscopy and changing habits, adding supplements and eliminating foods, the symptoms are moving in a positive direction.

Both Kim and Melissa emphasize the importance of listening to your body, being your own advocate, and seeking medical, holistic and lifestyle coaching support when needed.

“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!

K. C.

“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.
