I’ve been wanting to have this conversation for a long time. Kenzie Burke and I go way back, and today she joins me to talk about her evolution - from going viral for food combining in 2018 to rediscovering her health through intuition, healing trauma, and listening to her body. We dive into the misunderstood aspects of wellness, the backlash she’s faced, and what it really means to rebuild your foundation from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or unsure of how to navigate your health authentically, this one’s for you.

Kenzie Burke is the founder and creative director of BRÛLÉ, a slow luxury fashion brand based in Los Angeles, and the voice behind The KB Report, a viral Substack publication blending style, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes brand building. Known for her sharp aesthetic, emotional clarity, and refusal to follow the crowd, Kenzie creates work that moves people — visually, emotionally, and energetically.

She’s built and rebuilt from scratch, turning setbacks into storylines and vision into reality. Through fashion, writing, and disciplined reinvention, she’s become a voice for women creating something of their own—on their own terms.

A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode: 

  •   Kenzie’s wellness journey: skin issues, hormonal imbalances, Lyme misdiagnosis, and food as medicine
  • How discovering food combining changed her health, skin, and energy
  • Going viral in 2018 for promoting “fruit first” and the backlash that followed
  • Kenzie’s personal experience with disordered eating and her evolving relationship with wellness
  • Her take on orthorexia, food fear, and body image in the wellness space
  • How she reclaimed her menstrual cycle through nervous system healing and intuitive eating
  • Parasite cleanses, colonics, and trusting your body’s signals
  • The power of German New Medicine and energetic root causes of symptoms
  • Why she’s vocal about politics, free speech, and children’s health
  • Kenzie’s thoughts on alcohol, fluoride in water, artificial food dyes, and the SNAP program
  • The philosophy behind her clothing line, Brulee, and slowing down in fashion and life
