About the Guest: Michelle Spadafora has been a fitness professional for over 40 years. For the first two decades of her career, she focused solely on exercise and nutrition, unaware of the role faith could play in holistic health. It wasn't until she discovered her faith in Jesus that she began to understand the importance of addressing mental and spiritual well-being alongside physical fitness. This revelation transformed her approach, highlighting the necessity of reducing stress and cultivating peace to achieve optimal health. Michelle now integrates these insights into her fitness practices, fostering a more comprehensive path to well-being.
