Coach Confessional: Behind The Scenes at FASTer Way HQ Sep 29, 2025

Show notes

This week's Coach Confessional is part personal health update, part huge FASTer Way announcement — and 100% worth a listen.

Amanda kicks things off with a very real update about finishing her parasite detox, her first-ever colonic (yep, she goes there), and why she walked away feeling euphoric, energized, and finally sleeping through the night. Haven reacts in classic Haven fashion — part skeptical, part intrigued, and totally ready to rally the team for a "colonic party."

But the big news? 🚨 We're making FASTer Way history. Starting October 13, we're officially launching the brand-new 21-Day Reset — a program designed to help you see changes faster without overwhelm or information overload.

FASTer Way is officially going back to its roots — and rewriting the future all at the same time. After years of six-week rounds, Amanda and Haven share why it's time for a bold shift and why clients (and coaches!) are already buzzing.

Here's why the 21-Day Reset is a total game-changer:

Accelerated results: We've taken the very best strategies and concepts from our 6-week program and our wildly successful mini-programs and laid them out into 3 powerful weeks — so you see and feel progress even more quickly
Simplified & streamlined: One daily tab, one meal plan, one workout — no decision fatigue. Just open the app, press play, and win the day.
Perfectly timed: Short enough to stay laser-focused, long enough to create real transformation — and easy to commit to during a busy season.
Accessible price point: At just $99, it's never been easier to start (or restart) your FASTer Way journey.
Built to stick: This reset is designed to set you up for VIP success — most clients feel so good by the end they can't imagine stopping.

Amanda calls this moment a tipping point for FASTer Way — and Haven agrees it's going down in the history books. Tune in for the real talk, the laughter, and the inside scoop on why the 21-Day Reset could be exactly what you've been looking for.

👉 Press play and join us — your reset starts October 13.

From Birth Control to Better Sleep: Haven's Midlife Reset Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

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.

In this episode of the FASTer Way podcast, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with Dr. Stephen Cabral—renowned naturopath, functional medicine expert, and member of the FASTer Way Scientific Advisory Board—for a science-meets-real-life convo on all things cortisol.

Dr. Cabral shares his personal journey from debilitating adrenal burnout and Addison's disease to thriving, and why cortisol is not the enemy—it's your body's secret weapon for energy, fat burning, and hormone balance… when it's working for you, not against you.

The real signs your cortisol rhythm is off (hint: it's not just about stress)
Why carbs are a must if you want to heal your hormones
How to structure your training and lifestyle to support recovery instead of sabotage it
The sneaky way sleep, blood sugar, and thyroid health all tie into cortisol
