I’ve spent 18 years working in health and fitness. I’ve owned a gym, built wellness businesses, had three kids, changed the way I think about women’s health and somehow ended up hosting a podcast where almost nothing is off limits.
This is the part of the website where I’m supposed to give you my polished professional bio. We’ll get to that.
Long before the podcast, the functional labs or Wellish, I was a personal trainer.
I owned a gym. Fitness was my world, and I was good at it. I knew how to train. I knew how to eat. I knew the rules we were all taught about what it took to look and feel healthy.
Then my own body stopped following them.
There is something particularly humbling about being the health professional who can’t figure out her own health.
I was doing the things I was “supposed” to do, but I didn’t feel like myself. That experience pushed me beyond the world of calories, workouts and willpower and deeper into functional health.
I started asking different questions. I learned more about hormones, gut health, stress, recovery and why two women can do the exact same things and get completely different results.
Eventually, that changed the way I worked with women too.
Over the years, I turned what I was learning into a framework for helping women look beyond calories and workouts and understand the bigger picture: nutrition, hormones, gut health, stress, sleep, strength and the habits that actually make all of it sustainable.
It became the foundation behind the wellness programs I’ve used with more than 700 women.
But this is roughly how we got from there to here.
I’m a women’s wellness expert, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, entrepreneur, podcast host and founder of Wellish Media.
I’ve spent 18 years in health and wellness and have worked with more than 700 women.
There’s an actual team behind the programs, podcast and business. These are three of the women helping keep all of it moving.
Daina is a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant with more than 13 years of experience supporting women through personalized nutrition. Inside Michele’s programs, she works directly with clients, with a particular focus on energy and perimenopause.
She also brings more than two decades of experience in technology strategy and systems design, helping keep the business running behind the scenes.
Czarinah supports the day-to-day operations across Michele’s businesses, from projects and scheduling to podcast production and client communications.
She’s one of the people making sure everything looks seamless on the outside, even when there are approximately 47 things happening behind the scenes.
Tammy is the nurse practitioner on the team. Bio placeholder for now. We’ll add her exact role, credentials and how she works with clients once you give me the wording you want used.
