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.”
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.

I’ve seen what’s possible when women stop trying to fix themselves and start trusting themselves — and I’m here for it.
