I am a certified NTP(Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) creating change and bringing awareness to shift the health of our future generations.

In 2012 my youngest daughter became very ill around age 1. After little success with modern medicine I was at my wits end. I started researching and took our health into our own hands. Without many amazing friends and holistic healthcare practitioners I am not sure where my daughters health would be today. Sometimes our deepest fears and hurts turn into beautiful stories that enable us to help others. I have since become a NTP, which has opened up a door that I never expected. I now have the knowledge to really help others shift their behaviors, bring their bodies back into balance, and become whole again. What do you have to loose? This is what I asked myself when I traveled 5 hours to see an amazing muscle tester who truly started this lifelong journey of mine. I am forever grateful to her, for opening my eyes and giving my daughter a start to a healthy life.

The last few years I haven’t felt like ME. I’m in my late 40s and things are changing. Hair, skin, hormones, LIFE.😱

A year ago I knew I needed to take my health more seriously. I started working out. 🏋️‍♂️ A lot. It helped with my big emotions that I needed to release but working that hard hurt my body. I was sore and tired all the time. Plus it was very time consuming! And those extra rolls around my stomach and padding on my butt just weren’t going away. What was I doing wrong?!?
I “thought” I was Fasting and wanted to learn about Macro counting and Carb Cycling. Wouldn’t it be great if there was one place to keep track of all of it?!?
5 months the ago I took a leap. I tried my first 6 week round of FASTer Way to Fat Loss. I was hooked!
The workouts are only 30 minutes long (SO doable) and I felt energized NOT exhausted after. Do you know why? Because I was taxing my adrenals with crazy workouts and sending myself into cortisol depletion.
I actually learned how to FAST - instead of starving myself (again with the adrenals and cortisol)
I learned what to eat and when with carb cycling- we eat CARBS!
AND I started tracking Macros instead of calories because our bodies crave and need a nutrient dense whole food diet! The food I eat now is SO good AND easy!!
And here’s what I noticed.
My skin improved, whole food nutrition means healthy skin 💥
My digestion improved. Put the right stuff in at the right time and everything moves smoothly🤤
I lost the extra baggage I was holding onto around my stomach and thighs!!
I learned to LIVE and LOVE my body again. I returned to ME!👍🏼
This picture is my “sweaty selfie” after a workout yesterday. I have muscles! I’ve always had skinny arms and thin shoulder.
My body composition is changing! At 47 years old!! We call that a NSV Non Scale Victory.
Sure I’ve lost about 10lbs but I hate weighing myself and watching the scale. This program is great beecause the number on the scale is not the focus. At ALL!
Has it been work? Yes! At times hard but most the time I enjoy it SO much! Just knowing I’m checking all the boxes and able to return to this lifestyle (not a diet) makes it so easy!
AND if you’ve read all the way down here.. I have an amazing Coach to help me through the whole process.
Now, as a Coach myself I get to journey thru this process with YOU, my own clients! 💕
My next round starts 4/8. I would be honored to be your guide thru the process. This program is for Men and Women! Anyone can do it from anywhere that you have cell service!

Hi there!!
I’d like to introduce myself.
I’m Mikaela Hengst, a homeschool, hybrid homeschool, public school Mom of 3 boys. I’m married to a farmer and I teach Yoga🤷‍♀️.
AND recently I have added FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach to my bag of tools.
I found this program several months ago and to say it has changed my life is an understatement.
FWTFL is a 6 week program. With ME as your Coach and an award winning App we learn Fasting, Macro Counting, Carb Cycling, and HIIT/Strength Training.
This program hits all the points! AND we communicate in a group here on Facebook as well as thru messaging and phone calls.
It is not weight specific, meaning we don’t watch the scale every day. In fact, we weigh and measure ONE time at the beginning and then not again until we are done at 6 weeks.
This is not a fad diet. It works because it is a lifestyle change. In addition to weight loss you can expect to reduce inflammation, brain fog and digestive issues. Hormonal imbalances due to peri or menopause and stubborn weight around the belly can be greatly reduced as well. And SLEEP! This program helps with sleep and sleep related issues!!
Does this sound like a good fit!
Are you read to dive in?
My next 6 week round starts Monday!! Below is the link to sign up. If you’d like to learn more let’s schedule a call. I’m happy to answer any questions!!

Friendly Re-Minder. FEAR IS a virus. Happy Friday 13th!

Thoughts...

All we can think about right now is Corona and no that’s not the beer, don’t we all wish! I have to admit, I am stuck watching the news, not because of fear of getting ill, but holy cow watching the economy crumble before our eyes.

It truly is unbelievable to me and I am stuck in a place of awe. Does the Corona Virus warrant this? I don’t think any of us truly know the answer to that. There is so much information circulating out there, it truly is hard to know what’s true, what’s not true, and what are we not being told?

We can not control what is going on around the world right now. I am personally seeing Southwest Airlines my beloved company of so many years, go so fast backwards in a matter of days, the worry is real. I can’t help but wonder just from a common sense point of view, if people are going to be more affected by the economy recession then the Corona Virus itself?

The only thing we can control is our own behavior and how we respond to events. Maybe this is a time for personal change and growth? Maybe this time makes you realize life is short and your health, your family, the way you spend your time, is more important then the other. Use this time to improve your life, not let the chaos create more chaos in your life. Reality is we could be quarantined at some point in the near future. I can’t even imagine this but I do believe the reality is there.

So, as I sit back today and evaluate what is going on, I ask myself if I am doing everything I can to keep my family safe and well? Some things we can control friends and some things we cannot. 🙏🏼❤️🥰

Love 🍷, but hate the way it makes you feel? Sulfites could be part of the problem. I got this sulfite filter for 2 of my family members and I can say they absolutely love it! I think it’s time I get myself one. ❤️

Friends! I have been focusing on my life and my priorities... been the best thing ever. Please excuse my absence. ❤️ However I really wanted to share my chia pudding with you today. Have you had? It’s so yum and so easy. My girls chowed down on it for desert last night!

1 cup of coconut or almond milk.
4 tablespoons of chia seeds.
Add some honey or pure maple syrup if you want it sweetened. A couple drops of Vanella if you like. Stir it real well.
Put in fridge for at least 2 hours.
Top with fruit if you like.
Get creative folks and mix it up!

If you have a favorite type or topping please share with us below. 😍

I don’t think anything sums up us Mamas more then this. Mama bear is about right, and we will do anything to protect our baby bears.

My girls searched for these online and gave these to me on Mother’s Day. I don’t know if anything can touch my heart more. Don’t mess with a Mama Bear. ❤️😁❤️😁

When food is not enough......
#
It’s starts with food friends, there is no doubt about that. You cannot expect to keep drinking sodas, eat a bunch of processed sugars, along with all the other junk food out there, and expect health. It does matter what we put in our body and this piece cannot be forgotten. But what happens when food is not enough?
#
If you have reduced your stress, applied boundaries to the toxic people in your life, cleaned up your diet, your getting good sleep, exercising, and your still not getting well, it’s time to implement a supplement protocol.
#
Whether it’s Mental Illness, Autoimmune, Lyme, high blood pressure, digestive issues, and the list goes on, there is hope.
#
In my family we started with diet and we improved leaps and bounds. Time would go on and we would start to slip back again. Symptoms would slowly start creeping back in. Diet was never going to be enough. The bad overgrowths were too strong, the toxic overload was too great, our genetic predispositions were not in our favor. Supplements have absolutely saved my family. Is it over yet? No it’s not, but I won’t stop till it is.
#
The expense of disease goes deeper then financial expense. The stress, the broken hearts, the absolute devastation disease can cause is heart wrenching. I am starting to believe mental health is almost worse then physical health. The strain it puts on the family can tear a family apart. It’s starts young friends, it starts young. As a parent never let anyone else tell you your child’s behavior is normal. If you feel in your heart their behavior is not normal, then their behavior is not normal.
