Anti-Dogma Training, AI, and Real-World Results with Coach Nick

In this episode of Radiant Revolution, Kim sits down with veteran strength coach Nick; a trainer, educator, and author with over 25 years in the field, to have a refreshingly honest conversation about what actually matters in training.


Nick pulls back the curtain on the fitness industry, sharing why he’s “client-centered, practically driven, principle-based, and anti-dogma,” and how that philosophy has shaped his work with everyone from NFL athletes to everyday women and men. They dig into the chaos of social media fitness advice, the rise of AI-generated workouts, why biomechanics and physiology never go out of style, and how to think critically about who you follow and what you implement.


What You’ll Learn

  • Nick’s training philosophy: client-centered, principle-based, and anti-dogma
  • How to filter confusing fitness advice using basic biomechanics and physiology
  • Why physique alone (great arms, abs, or glutes) isn’t proof a method is sound
  • Where AI and group classes can help — and where a real coach is still essential
  • How Nick approaches training women, men, and menopause clients without gimmicks
  • Why you are the world’s expert on your own body, and how Nick partners with clients

Radiant Revolution
The Reality of Hysterectomy-Induced Menopause (What Nobody Prepared You For)

In this deeply needed episode of Radiant Revolution, Kim Schaper tackles a topic so many women whisper about but few are truly prepared for: hysterectomy-induced menopause.


If you’ve had your uterus or ovaries removed and suddenly feel like your body changed overnight…you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. Kim breaks down what really happens hormonally, metabolically, and emotionally after a hysterectomy, why symptoms can feel so extreme, and how to rebuild safety, strength, and stability in your body again.
You’ll learn how estrogen loss impacts metabolism and mood, how to support recovery through strength training, protein, minerals, and nervous-system repair, and why feeling “like yourself” again starts with compassion, not perfection.


What You’ll Learn

  • The difference between natural menopause (dimmer switch) and hysterectomy-induced menopause (light switch crash)
  • The three body systems most affected: hormones, metabolism, and nervous system
  • Why symptoms hit harder... from belly fat and brain fog to anxiety and exhaustion
  • How to support hormone balance through estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal health
  • Why protein, minerals, and strength training are essential post-surgery
  • Simple anti-inflammatory foods and recovery practices to reduce stress and inflammation
  • How to rebuild safety, rest, and nervous-system regulation after surgery
  • The emotional reality of hysterectomy recovery — and how to move forward feeling grounded and confident

Radiant Revolution
The Cortisol Curve: Why You Crash at 3PM (and How to Fix It)

Hitting that foggy 3PM wall? It’s not laziness, it’s your cortisol curve gone rogue. In this episode of Radiant Revolution, Kim Schaper explains how stress, under-eating, over-caffeinating, and late-night habits flip your natural cortisol rhythm… and exactly how to reset it so you feel steady all day (and actually sleep at night). You’ll learn the “morning fix,” the “afternoon reset,” and the “nighttime wind-down” that calm your nervous system, stabilize blood sugar, and unlock real metabolic change.


What You’ll Learn:

  • What the healthy cortisol curve looks like (rise in AM, taper at night) — and what happens when it’s flipped
  • How stress → high cortisol → high blood sugar → high insulin creates energy crashes & blocks fat burning
  • Why minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium) matter for a calm nervous system
  • How chronic HIIT + under-eating + caffeine keep you stuck in push-crash-repeat
  • The food timing & macros that flatten the 3PM crash
  • Why sleep is metabolism (growth hormone, thyroid, insulin balance)

How to Survive Thanksgiving Without Wrecking Your Progress

In this empowering Thanksgiving episode of Radiant Revolution, Kim Schaper helps women break free from the guilt-bloat-panic cycle that so often comes with the holidays.
If you’ve ever walked into Thanksgiving promising yourself to “be chill,” only to spiral into calorie math and regret by dessert, this episode is your permission slip to relax, enjoy your food, and trust your body again.


Kim unpacks the real reason your body feels off after big meals (hint: it’s stress chemistry, not pumpkin pie), and she shares a proven game plan to walk into the holidays calm, confident, and bloat-free. You’ll learn what happens hormonally when guilt spikes cortisol, how peace lowers fat-storage signals, and why joy is actually one of the most powerful metabolic boosters you have.


What You’ll Hear

  • Why it’s not the food — it’s the fear that fuels bloat and fatigue
  • The stress–hormone chain reaction: cortisol → blood sugar → insulin → fat storage
  • How digestion literally starts in your brain and nervous system
  • Simple pre- and post-holiday strategies to feel amazing the next day
  • How gratitude, laughter, and calm chemistry boost your metabolism
  • The truth about “holiday weight gain” and why it’s mostly water and inflammation

  • Why one meal can’t undo your progress — but your mindset can

Building a Business You Love (Without Burning Your Life Down) with Nicole Culver

Today, Kim is joined by coach, founder, and CEO of Elevate, Nicole Culver, a straight-talking, big-hearted entrepreneur who helps CEOs scale profitably and sanely. They get into the real stuff: momentum that looks slow on the outside but compounds over time, setting values-based boundaries at home and work, and why “problems you once wished for” are still problems… just better ones.


If you’ve ever felt pulled between being present for your family and growing your business (or your health goals), this conversation is your permission slip to simplify, focus on what actually moves the needle, and trust yourself again.


In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Slow, steady, real growth—and why that’s a superpower
  • “Problems you wished for”: reframing challenges as evidence you’re leveling up
  • Values in action: how Nicole’s family runs on clear intentions (hello, nightly dinners) and strategic “no’s”
  • The CEO time trap: why living in client delivery feels productive—but stalls growth—and how to rebalance toward marketing & sales
  • Metrics that matter: focusing on the few levers that drive results vs. 40 hours in Canva
  • Pity parties with purpose: letting yourself feel it, then pausing and moving forward
  • Health parallels: training your “weak muscles” in business (the stuff you avoid) to create real balance
  • Intrinsic motivation & self-trust: becoming the woman who does what she says she’ll do

Kim gets real about her own past struggles with restrictive diets, the science of why yo-yo dieting wreaks havoc on your body, and most importantly how to finally break free.


    In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

    • Why yo-yo dieting feels endless—and why it’s not your lack of willpower.
    • The survival mode response: how your metabolism adapts to restriction by conserving energy and sacrificing muscle.
    • The hormone fallout: how cortisol, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin team up to trigger cravings, hunger, and stubborn fat storage.
    • The boomerang effect of extreme restriction, why white-knuckling your way through a diet always backfires.
    • The real-life signs your metabolism is struggling: bloating, fatigue, loss of muscle tone, mood swings, and confidence crashes.
    • The path forward: strength training, strategic calorie increases, hormone-smart nutrition, stress management, and sleep.


    Key Takeaway
    Yo-yo dieting doesn’t “break” your metabolism, but it does erode trust between you and your body. Rebuilding starts with fueling your body consistently, building muscle, balancing hormones, and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset.

    The Hidden Clues Your Metabolism Is Sending You at Night

    Have you ever woken up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night or found yourself raiding the pantry mid-morning, even when you weren’t truly hungry? You’re not alone. In this episode, Kim breaks down why these frustrating (and often confusing) symptoms aren’t random at all they’re powerful clues that your metabolism and hormones are waving red flags.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • The cortisol–blood sugar connection: Why stress keeps you wired at night, spikes blood sugar, and triggers cravings.
    • How estrogen and progesterone shifts fuel night sweats & anxiety and why progesterone is basically nature’s Xanax.
    • The role of liver and gut health in hormone balance and how sluggish detox or gut dysbiosis makes hot flashes, cravings, and belly fat worse.
    • Sneaky triggers like alcohol, overtraining, and undereating that set the stage for restless nights and snack attacks.
    • Practical reset strategies: from balancing protein and carbs earlier in the day, to winding down your nervous system at night, to improving sleep hygiene.


    Key Takeaway
    Your body isn’t sabotaging you, it’s signaling overload and imbalance. Night sweats, cravings, and insomnia are messages that your hormones and metabolism need support, not punishment.

    Breaking Through Self-Sabotage, Unlocking Potential, and Letting Love In with Jake Kauffman

    In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Kim is joined by her friend Jake Kauffman; men’s executive leadership coach, transformation specialist, and author of Let Love In. Together, they pull back the curtain on the inner work required to create lasting transformation, both in life and relationships.


    Jake shares why so many people struggle to sustain progress in their health, career, and personal growth and how unaddressed subconscious beliefs, coping mechanisms, and emotional trauma keep us stuck in cycles of self-sabotage. From understanding the “upper limit” problem to dismantling victim mentality, Jake offers practical, compassionate strategies for building self-awareness, shifting identity, and creating sustainable change.


    They also explore:

    • Why willpower and surface-level habits aren’t enough for lasting transformation
    • The hidden role of self-limiting beliefs and early conditioning in shaping your results
    • How self-sabotage is tied to our nervous system’s sense of safety
    • Moving from victim mindset to full personal responsibility
    • The importance of “stretching the muscle” when doing trauma work without retraumatizing
    • How to turn pain into purpose, power, and progress
    • What it truly means to embody radiance in life and relationships
