Michele Rohde, Motivational Coach

A few years ago, I felt like my body completely changed. I was on the STRUGGLE BUS! 😅

What started as long covid eventually led to the terrifying season of pericarditis ❤️‍🩹, and that opened the door to discovering Hashimoto’s, MTHFR, non alcoholic fatty liver, hormone imbalances & anemia that had likely been brewing behind the scenes for years.

As much as I’d like to share there was one magic fix - there wasn’t.

It was a lot of small changes, consistency, prayer, patience & learning to work with my body instead of constantly fighting it.

One of the tools that’s been part of that journey for me is the FASTer Way. I’ve been following it for about 2 years now, and while it wasn’t the only thing that helped, it gave me a plan with accountability & taught me so much about supporting my metabolism, balancing blood sugar, building muscle, and fueling my body in a way that actually made me feel better.

Today my coach, Allie, is kicking off a 14-Day Belly Blast, and I’m jumping in! 🙌

(We’ve got a Jamaica wedding trip coming up, so the timing is pretty perfect! 💃🏻☀️💒🏝️)

What I like about FW is that it’s not another “eat less and do more cardio” plan. It’s focused on the research-backed habits that help reduce bloating, support metabolism, build lean muscle, and even encourage your body’s natural GLP-1 production.

And if you’ve seen our recent pool pics in my stories, you know I’ve been swimming instead of walking lately and honestly, I’m loving it! 🏊‍♀️

The lower impact feels so much better on my joints, it seems less inflammatory for my body, I get my sunshine & Vitamin D, plus family time, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to move/tone up. I literally grab my kickboard and go to town. 😆

If you’ve been eating pretty well, trying to stay active, and still wondering why your body isn’t responding the way it used to… you’re definitely not alone.

I know that feeling all too well.

I’m looking forward to this little reset and thought I’d share in case any of my friends want to follow along with me. 💞
