Body Debt: What It Is, Why You Feel Exhausted, and 10 Science-Backed Ways to Reverse It

What is body debt and why does it show up as low energy, weight gain, poor sleep, chronic stress, stiffness, mood changes, and even back pain? In this episode, Kim Ward is joined by fitness expert and Wellness Warriors co-founder Laura Whitney Ribbins to explain how body debt builds over time from lack of movement, poor nourishment, limited recovery, and neglected mindset often without you realizing it.
You’ll learn why “rest” can feel exhausting, how small baby-step habits can start paying body debt down, and why ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are a key place to begin. Laura shares practical, real-life tools like movement breaks, simple daily walking, hydration progress (without overhauling everything), and a mindset reset—plus why checking your phone first thing can derail your day.

If you’re still grinding on the social treadmill, this conversation is your green light to pivot to search-first marketing.

Kim Ward and Roxanne Lynch break down the seismic shift from social media to search media and why platforms like Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram, and now Facebook reward creators who speak their audience’s search language.

We cover simple keyword research (hello, Google predictive text), why Pinterest SEO is the conversion hub for your ecosystem, and how “keywords are currency” levels the playing field for beginners and small accounts.

If you want sustainable visibility, quality leads, and sales without chasing virality, this is your blueprint.
