Before Kristin Cavallari sashayed down the Miami Swim Week runway last month, she wasn’t just hitting the gym and counting calories—she was getting coffee enemas and zapping her skin with lasers. The 39-year-old reality TV star opened up about her pre-runway wellness routine on the Tuesday, June 23 episode of her“Let’s Be Honest”podcast, and it’s a masterclass in the kind of extreme-adjacent health hacks that celebrities swear by.
Here’s the thing: Cavallari doesn’t approach these wellness practices as quick-fix weight-loss tricks. She’s explicit about that. When she’s on Kroma, a superfood-laden detox program, she’s not chasing the scale—she’s chasing inflammation reduction and that coveted flat-stomach effect that comes right before walking in a bikini. The coffee enemas are part of that equation. For the uninitiated, a coffee enema involves injecting caffeinated coffee and filtered water into the colon through the rectum. It sounds intense, and that’s because it is. Cavallari describes the results matter-of-factly:“The way your stomach will be so flat, you guys, after a coffee enema and the way it just makes you feel so good.”She does them about four times a year, typically on days four and five of the Kroma detox, or back-to-back for maximum impact.
What’s notable here is her reasoning. Cavallari ties everything back to gut health and digestion—the idea that if your digestive system isn’t running smoothly, nothing else will. It’s a worldview that’s become increasingly common in wellness circles, even if the science behind coffee enemas specifically remains contested. She’s also surprisingly practical about the logistics: use high-quality coffee, fill the rest with filtered water (not tap water, she warns), and treat the whole thing as part of a larger wellness ecosystem, not a standalone solution.
The laser work is her other big pre-runway move. She admits she’s skeptical of lasers in general—too much frying off the skin’s natural barriers, she thinks—but this particular treatment changed her mind. Thirty minutes in and out, hitting both stomach and neck. After her first session, she noticed visible tightening by the next morning. So she did it two more times. That’s the pattern with Cavallari: skepticism until results show up, then commitment.
This is all part of the founder of Uncommon James’broader approach to beauty and wellness: refuse Botox, lean into non-invasive treatments, and trust your gut (literally). Whether you buy into coffee enemas or think they’re theater, there’s something refreshingly transparent about her willingness to talk through the exact steps she takes to feel confident on camera. No mystery, no pretending it’s just“good genes”and“clean eating.”It’s coffee injections and skin lasers, taken seriously and talked about openly.
