Why This Guide Matters
When it Comes to Health + Wellness Advice...
Some of it’s legit.
A lot of it is total sh*t.
That’s why I created Legit or Sh*t: your no-B.S. guide to cutting through the chaos of diet culture, fitness fads, and wellness trends that just don’t deliver.
Learn how to:
-
Spot the red flags
So you don’t waste another dollar (or ounce of energy) on trendy B.S. that leaves you feeling worse instead of better.
-
Trust your gut and the science
Because the research and your instincts deserve a seat at the table. You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start making fact-based choices you feel confident about.
-
Choose what works... for YOU
Because there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to your health. You’ll walk away with tools to filter out the garbage and focus on what’s realistic, sustainable and effective - for you!
💡 This isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about getting clear, getting confident, and finally feeling good in your body — without needing to “start over on Monday.”
About Kat & the Guide
Hey, I’m Kat.
Founder of Painted Maple and professional B.S.-caller when it comes to diet and fitness culture.
After decades of struggling — and watching smart, capable women get fed up with false promises — I decided to stop the madness. I got active, got healthy, and turned my life around one small, sustainable habit at a time.
Now I help other women do the same.
No shame. No guilt. No “just try harder” garbage.

Legit or Sh*t was born from the frustration I (and my clients) feel when trying to figure out what’s actually helpful and what doesn’t deserve your time. This guide cuts through the crap, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting what works
Because you don’t need another fad —
You need facts, support, and a clear path forward.
On a personal note, I’m based in Northern Indiana (and the Cape Fear Region of North Carolina, depending on the time of year)with my husband and dog Maple Syrpup.
I believe in:
- Compassionate sarcasm
- Comfortable calm
- The power of a well-balanced plate (and life)
I’ve seen what’s possible when women stop trying to fix themselves and start trusting themselves — and I’m here for it.
