    Love the podcast just wished it was consistent
    I’ve loved the podcast for years but the last couple months the podcast hasn’t been as consistent . It’s gone from weekly, to biweekly and now it seems monthly. I really love all the episodes but it’s hard to stay committed when I don’t know when the next episode is coming. Would love for it to come back consistently each week!

    This episode was fantastic and encouraging. So many great tips, tricks and information -thanks for sharing your knowledge with all your podcast listeners.

    My favorite podcast
    By far one of my favorite podcasts. Kelly provides such valuable information while also being so down to earth. I currently have a 10 month old son so all of the episodes on postpartum and raising healthy, happy kids are my top episodes right now. I trust the information that Kelly shares, and I am so thankful for the resources and information that she provides!

    Needs to vet her guests better
    Generally like the show, I love Kelly and have learned a lot. However, some of the guests she has on can veer into pseudoscience territory. Recently she had on Steven Gundry, whose claims about the “dangers” of plant based eating have been roundly criticized by the scientific community. Another recent guest framed vaccines as a personal choice that is okay not to make because you’re worried about your kid having a (totally normal and healthy!) immune response, rather than as a life-saving public health measure that is done to build herd immunity. I had to shut that episode off…

    INCREDIBLE INFO
    Hands down unlike any other podcast out there! So so much beneficial information - for women, for moms for people. Health focused but also touches on all sorts of things. Couldn’t recommend enough - especially for fellow mamas!
  • DHN34
    Such important info!! I learn so much!
    I notice myself constantly finding new podcasts to follow but as of lately, I’ve been consistently listening to this one!! Week after week this podcast holds important information you don’t want to miss regarding health, most especially the recent Alzheimer’s podcast episode.. indisputably its the most imperative information I’ve listened to thus far. Thanks for finding such great experts!!
  • Fly Fishing Girl
    I’ve been following Kelly for a few years!
    I use her protein powder every day! And also get tons of advice on living a healthier lifestyle! Love her!
  • Aaron_Shaffer
    My favorite wellness podcast!
    I’m often intimidated by wellness conversations, by Kelly does an amazing job of steering the ship away from scary, overwhelming topics and focusing on practical things we can do to improve our lives today. I’m very interested in longevity and biological age reversal, so I especially loved her episode with Dr. Mark Hyman. I would recommend this show to anyone who wants to live a healthier, happier life but is unsure where to begin.

    Todays episode
    Todays episode was so incredibly informative and helpful - I plan to listen again and take notes! I was told by my PCP “as long as you’re getting a monthly period, your hormones are fine.” 😑
  • Drsheena Joseph
    My absolute fav podcast!
    I’ve been practicing FM since 2008 and this is hands down my favorite wellness podcast❤️ Everything you touch turns to gold Kelly! Keep shining 🤩

    Let the experts talk
    I want to love your podcast but when you have experts on, you do all the talking. I would be happy to listen to a podcast of just you talking about the areas you’re the expert in, but not during podcast when you have an actual person you’re interviewing.

    Listened to Latt Mansor interview…wow…Kelly did most of the talking. Not cool
  • SavLovesRunning
    I love her!
    Kelly Leveque’s is my favorite podcast, I listen to every show. Always great interviews, lots of great information, and nothing too extreme! I’ve learned a ton about health and nutrition and thanks to her I got my family’s diet so much healthier. We took gluten out of our diet and we all feel so much better, for example. I’m so appreciative of this podcast and I hope she never stops recording!
  • Debbie Waidl
    Loved this episode!
    I am a big proponent of natural healing and as a functional health coach support women struggling with migraine pain. Your podcast Episode 237: Young Forever with Dr. Mark Hyman really hit home with what I teach my clients through my Migraine Freedom Protocol™….talking about understanding the ways our bodies react to food. Definitely a must listen for anyone who wants to live their optimal life.
  • Lienna M
    One of the best podcasts
    The Be Well by Kelly Leveque podcast is so informative and engaging. Kelly breaks down complex topics so they are easy to understand and provides so much helpful information. She is truly a wealth of knowledge. As a nutritionist myself, I find the podcast to be extremely educational and helps me to continue growing in my field. ❤️🥑

    Loving the podcast!
    I recently graduated from the Health and Wellness FMCA and am so happy to be listening to your podcast with its strong foundation in Functional Medicine. I’ve been learning a lot from you and your guests and love the way you share important health information. Also loving your protein powder and start my days with the Fab5 smoothies. Thank you for everything you’re contributing into the wellness space!

    Kelly promotes and normalizes orthorexia
    Kelly is promoting and normalizing orthorexia. I became a fan of Kelly’s a few years ago, have purchased both of her books, and followed along on Instagram and this podcast. I have known for a while that I struggle with disordered thoughts around food, exercise, and my body, and I finally have been working on recognizing, questioning, and releasing these thoughts. I came to the realization that Kelly’s message and the things she says are very triggering and are the SAME messages pushed by the diet industry wrapped up in a fake fake fake “love yourself” bow. She is very condescending and has so many messages of shame hidden beneath what she says. She touts “food freedom” but is actually super restrictive. She’s a healthy individual yet wears a CGM (why?!? This is way too obsessive, if you are not diabetic or have health conditions where you need to monitor your glucose levels you shouldn’t be wearing a CGM). It’s gross that she’s amassed so many naive followers.

    Amazing Information
    Kelly gives so much helpful, life-changing information for free. As someone who struggles financially, I’m so grateful for her sharing such important information, resources, & conversations on health for free. Thank you, Kelly!
  • gtenuta1
    So appreciative
    Thank you so much for providing helpful and healing knowledge to us through this platform. I’m listening to episode 219 with Dr. LaPera and am totally blown away. This resonates so much with me as I never had the language to describe the internal battles I experienced for years and now I understand that I was checked out as a result of not being able to handle difficult emotions and feelings. I never learned how to regulate and there was never any repair/discussion after a conflict. I’ve used food and disassociation to cope with internal struggles. This is so valuable and fascinating. Thank you so much!!!
  • jrgvb7
    Anti-vax
    Was previously an avid listener but can’t listen to her push an anti-vax agenda any longer.
  • pilates karli
    Kelly LeVeque rocks!
    Kelly thank you for bringing cutting edge information to us all interested in learning more about wellness. I look forward to your podcast each week. I appreciate you so much!
  • Conscious_Marketing_&_PR
    Very empowering!
    Enlightening and heart-felt conversations between the Kelly and her guests.
  • HeathyHearttt
    Incredible!
    The BeWell Podcast is the highlight of my week! Kelly has the best guests on her show, listens proactively and ask great questions. I’m engaged from beginning to end.

  • Meg- GroundedNourishment
    Love this pod!
    As a fellow functional med RD I love Kelly’s approachable podcast! The science of nutrition is everything BUT it can also be very complicated and daunting to understand. Kelly does a wonderful job of simplifying the science and making it fun and INTERESTING for her listeners-both practitioners and health warriors alike! Her podcast is one of my favorites!
  • Mpalmer27
    Excellent!
    I discovered Be Well by Kelly about a year ago and I cannot tell you how much I love this podcast! She interviews such inspiring and diverse professionals from the health and wellness world to help us all dive a little deeper into our own health and wellness and understand what’s going on inside and how to better support ourselves. To put it quite simply, she empowers us to take control of our health and wellness! Thank you Kelly!
  • kimberlyNchicago
    David jockers’ religious talk was a turn off
    I had to stop listening to this guest as his constant references to religion and the Bible were triggering. It felt like he was proselytizing to your audience, and that felt cheap. Indoctrination is such a horrible thing to do to kids; it just hurt my soul that he’s doing this to his kids.
  • Chi town marathoner
    Love Kelly & all of her guests!
    It is so impactful to see a woman focused on caring well for herself, and then using the overflow to lifts up others through her heart and work. She also uses this podcast to give a platform to people who are doing incredible things in this world. People who also lift each other up, who deserve to be seen and heard in a world that gets so loud with people focused on tearing others down. Thank you, thank you!!
  • UnsinkableMoo
    Never miss an episode
    I love this podcast. Kelly has fantastic guests. I learn so much. These interviews aren’t just commercials for the guests books but give me actual knowledge. I love the balance of health, kids, parenting.
  • magsterm
    Changed
    I have been following Kelly from the beginning and always appreciated her science-backed recommendations. However, overtime, I have found her to become less and less relatable and biased towards the science to support her beliefs.
  • C@rrieD621
    Simply the best!
    Every week (or twice a week if we’re lucky!) Kelly interviews the most interesting guests and really focuses on all aspects of health in such a easy to follow way.
  • J. Sparks
    Possible topic
    Really digging the guests and the topics discussed. I would love to hear about alcohol and it’s relationship to blood sugar and hormonal response. I have a hard time finding anything that goes in depth on this particular topic and would love to hear your take.
  • Matil51
    Oh dear
    I just heard her on another show and thought id give her podcast a try but after reading reviews aboutrecommendations to listen to Joe Rogan… well, I will not give this podcast my precious time. I would have a hard time trusting her since I know we disagree on some fundamentals. I am moving on.
  • Whit_Shaf
    Put it all out there, Kelly
    So disappointed to see some of the negative reviews below that place blame on this podcast for pushing diet or restrictive eating culture. As adults, we have the God given ability to think critically and take what we want/leave what we don’t. Kelly is walking a fine line between being a figurehead in the wellness industry and making sure she’s representing herself as genuine. I don’t envy that responsibility at all. I’ve listened to this podcast on and off for a couple years and have enjoyed the information she’s putting out there — especially the interviews with Lily Nichols (Real Food for Pregnancy) and Jesse Inchauspe (@glucegoddess). I was bored the other day and listened to her 10th Anniversary special - very sweet, honest convo with her husband. Thanks Kelly. Keep it up.
  • Listsner
    Episode with you & your hubby
    This was an excellent, funny, smart, honest, relatable “interview” with your husband. You both were so authentic and it radiated through the podcast. Can’t wait for part 2! Yay!
  • Mama of Haiti 3
    Thank you to your husband
    Glad he’s humble. Thank you for being honest!
  • Laura719
    Listen skeptically
    I appreciate that Kelly tries to be science-backed by citing studies but feel like sometimes she either is cherry picking, intentionally misleading, or not questioning the claims of the people she brings on just because they support the kind of diet and lifestyle that she thinks is best — one that is wrapped in “body love” and flexibility but is actually super restrictive. Sugar may be the current enemy of Kelly-types but saturated fat (in red meat, which Kelly is heavy on) is pretty bad too.. All I’m saying is be skeptical of anyone adjacent to Goop telling you that you pretty much need to be paleo or keto, or spend a small fortune on protein powder from Sweden, to be healthy! Especially if you have a history of disordered eating.
  • Happier now !
    No longer able to listen
    At first I felt Kelly was nice and I enjoyed some interviews. However, she quickly becomes not relatable at all for your normal, active healthy American mom. I eat clean and my children do too… but she takes it to the extreme in a way that isn’t relatable or realistic. In addition, she recently has made it seem as though she is anti-vax. As a healthcare provider on the front lines and as a moderate, I was very disappointed to hear this. Will no longer listen and unsubscribe to email chain. Not sure why she is doing this.

    Kelly promotes anti-vax stance
    Was a big fan of Kelly and her protein powder until she recently sent a BWBK newsletter promoting Joe Rogan’s podcast episode with Dr. Robert Malone, encouraging readers to listen before he is “censored again”. This anti-vaccine rhetoric is dangerous and I can no longer see Kelly through the same lens :/
  • Sheeva T
    Kelly is bringing light to true wisdom and knowledge
    I love Kelly’s passion for talking about real life subjects. Her show exposes me to solutions to problems and ways to make life sweeter!! Bless her for her work 💕
  • ilaganke
    Digestible information for the masses
    I love Kelly! She has such an approachable way of translating the complexities of nutrition for your average health enthusiast. As a mom, I’ve taken a lot of the general principles she preaches and found a way to fit most of the advice into our own lifestyle. She is genuine and her approaches are actionable—and better yet, she pushes her guests to give us some tangible guidance. I’ve seen some critical reviews that she is “out of touch” from normal moms. If you listen to her earlier podcasts and have followed her for a while, she really tries her best to bridge the gap between her own “normal” life and the celebrity clientele she services. I urge you all to think critically on the general principles she preaches and learn to apply it in the context of your own life. Subtract some of the fancy gadgets—she advocates for a behavioral approach to your food journey. My only once-in-a-while issue with the podcast are some of her guests! The wonky types she brings on her show can sometimes come off as very unapproachable, and you can tell when she’s pushing them to be more forthcoming with information. I also hope she encourages future guests to invest in better microphones because sometimes the spotty audio on the other side is distracting! Overall, I find this show to be thoughtful and all encompassing. She brings a wide variety of views on the show, and really touches nutrition concerns for everyday people. Thanks Kelly—please pump out more of these!!!

    Love Kelly’s Podcast!
    She always has the most genuine guests on her show. They seem to always deliver so much value and I’m able to take something alway after listening. Kelly asks them the best questions… grateful for you Kelly!!

    Educating others to influence change
    This is my favorite podcast as I feel like Kelly is a mom sharing info with other busy moms so we can make the best decisions for our children. I love her recommendations on the best products to use but also how she interviews people to back up the recent research. My favorite podcast has been the Bee Keepers Natural episode and I have shared it with so many people because her products have been influential with my kiddos dry hands and his eczema. Thank you Kelly for helping navigate a confusing world with clean products and practices as well as educating others with the most current information.

    Love ❤️
    Such a sweet host with great guests. I have her books and follow her fab 5 lifestyle. Such a great resource for food/health!

    Science?
    I have followed Kelly for years, listened to almost every podcast and read every one of her books. There’s a lot of things I love about her and she has had an overall positive impact on my life. BUT she is starting to fall apart for me. For example, she claims to use “science” to guide her recommendations but on several occasions she has anti vax people on her podcast that reference their stance and she doesn’t correct them and alludes to agreement. Given her focus on “science” and recent pivot childhood health, why not use her platform to encourage vaccination, especially covid vaccination, which is well backed by the actual science community? Her silence and slight agreement suggests that she actually is against vaccines and that makes me question her scientific approach to anything - especially when many guests make very questionable “scientific” statements in the name of the unfounded superiority of “natural” as a fundamental part of brand. Setting aside the questionable science, I’ve also had the realization that she is totally out of touch with regular people and their relationship with food and has no sense of what it’s like to raise children in any non-elite setting. Many of her statements are wrapped in shame… ex: my two year old has only had two pieces of candy ever? Eye roll… not at all realistic for a normal family and also a pointless - kids can eat candy sometimes and that’s totally fine. Bottom line… she sells an aspirational lifestyle targeted at super wealthy, “granola” California housewives who think they know more than real doctors, not normal people with real lives. If that’s you, you’ll love her!

    Mixed responses to this last episode
    I listened to this last episode with internist/Pediatrican Dr. Allison with mixed response. I found a lot of value in the discussions about overall health and well being and using a CGM and Dr. Allison’s program. 6-8 vegetables a day and reducing processes foods, all great! But it also was one of the most pretentious podcasts I’ve listed to to date. I looked up Levels, and discussed it with my doctor. It’s $400 for one monitor in the beta program. Comparing it to the other monitors on the market, which are $70 a monitor, a lot of Levels is just marketing right now. And who can afford to replace a CGM every 10-14 days even at $70 a pop - not most people. I would agree that our system is topsy turvey and that it would behoove us as a society for CGM’s to be offered through insurance (it is only if someone is Type 1 diabetic), and getting them in the hands of overweight people before they become diabetic would be amazing …. But I hope Levels figures out a way to offer their CGM at a reasonable rate that many can enjoy, not just a handful of extreme wealth. I also found the section on kids beyond pretentious. I don’t disagree that we need to make changes in our society… but again Kelly comes across as a stuck in a bubble of her own making, and not at all relatable to the rest of us moms. And I am fortunate to spend a wry large portion of my paycheck on healthy, clean meats, organic foods and imported wheat. So I’m not scrimping over here but … I was kind of nauseated by the bubble she seems to live in about feeding children. We need practical, reasonable, helpful ways to feed our children. Restricting the household to no chips or cookies doesn’t work. Giving me ways to get them involved with food and cooking and making things does. Thank goodness that many of Kelly’s guests are more practical and reasonable. The kind of food restriction she has in her household reminds me of the young man I knew who was raised vegan… what happened when he went to college? He literally ate nothing but fast food for two years. I have school aged children and teenagers and a blended family so I am not afforded the luxury of such restrictions. And I know Kelly is very early in her motherhood journey and that changes dramatically when kiddos go to school… even private schools with healthy chefs.. But I don’t find the right restriction healthy either. I think it’s swung the pendulum to the other extreme and isn’t teaching the big picture here. We need more of practical and less preaching.
