FASTer Way Podcast

This Coach Confessional takes some unexpected twists and turns! Amanda sits down with Haven Hennessey, FASTer Way's Senior Director of Programming, for a conversation that starts with celebrating some incredible new additions to our trainer team... and somehow ends up in parasite territory (yes, really). You'll hear about: The amazing trainers joining FASTer Way and how we keep raising the bar on programming Haven's journey through 21 years of marriage, raising 3 kids, and her eye-opening experience coming off birth control at 40 Real talk about staying healthy on vacation — and actually coming home feeling better than when you left Amanda's unexpected detox experience that has her questioning everything AND sleeping through the night (gross, but game-changing) Why those middle-of-the-night wake-ups, stubborn belly weight, foggy thinking, and feeling exhausted despite being constantly wired might not just be "normal aging" If you're tired of being told your symptoms are just part of getting older, Amanda and Haven are living proof that asking the right questions can change everything. When you start digging deeper instead of accepting "that's just how it is," that's when the real breakthroughs happen. These ladies are proof that there's so much more to the story. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation!

Coach Confessional is back, and whew—this one’s a ride. CEO Amanda Tress and Pro Trainer Le Bergin are catching up on everything from Florida mold to parasite cleanses, a student-led health revolution, and yes... Serena Williams and GLP-1 influencer culture.  Amanda shares why she’s literally allergic to Florida (hello, mold remediation and mold-sniffing dogs) and how that’s sparked a full-on detox mission—including a trip to Costa Rica and a deep dive into mold + parasite protocols. You’ll hear what’s working and what it takes to heal when your environment is working against you. But that’s not all. The conversation turns real as Amanda and Le break down the new wave of celebrities pushing weight loss drugs—what it means for women, what they aren’t saying, and why the FASTer Way remains rooted in strength, wellness, and actual science (not sponsored ads). Oh—and you’ll get a dose of eighth-grade girl power with Amanda’s daughter leading a student wellness petition that’s giving corporate wellness a run for its money.  If you’ve been overwhelmed by conflicting wellness advice, feeling “off” for no reason, or just wondering where to start when your body feels out of sync—this one’s for you.

Dr. Galpin unpacks why resilient sleep matters more than perfect sleep, how hormones impact your energy, what most blood tests are missing, and why throwing every peptide in the book at your fatigue might be backfiring.

There’s nothing quite like the electric buzz of a FASTer Way event. The hugs. The breakthroughs. The “I’m not alone in this” moments. In this episode, Amanda spills why our live gatherings are pure magic for connection, accountability, and transformation — and drops a hint that even more in-person experiences are coming your way. But first… a revelation! Amanda recently discovered she’s allergic to Florida. Yes, really. That revelation sent her down an unexpected rabbit hole into the world of mold toxicity. Those nagging symptoms — depression, brain fog, stubborn fatigue, and that strange “wired but exhausted” feeling — might not just be “life”... they could be mold talking. When Amanda spends time at her home in Costa Rica, the difference is instant. “It is like a veil lifted,” she says, and she can see just how much her environment has been impacting her health.  Now, she’s on a targeted healing protocol: a low histamine diet, strategic supplements, and regular bloodwork with Dr. Stephen Cabral. (Hot tip: reheating leftovers can trigger a histamine spike — who knew?)  She’s even considering tearing down her home and rebuilding it from scratch with specialists to ensure it’s truly mold-free. And because stress can be just as sneaky as mold…let’s talk cortisol belly. If you’ve got stubborn midsection fat, energy crashes, or you’re up all night and dragging all day, you might be living in cortisol overdrive.  That’s where our 5-Day Cortisol Reset comes in. Starting August 18, for just $20, you’ll get smart workouts, a delicious meal guide, and a never-before-seen macro + fitness cycle to rebalance your stress hormones. This is our biggest mini-program EVER — and it’s exactly what you need to flatten cortisol belly, boost energy, and finally feel calm, clear, and in control.
