There is no greater compliment than earning a client’s trust and helping them reconnect with their strength, confidence, and health. ❤️

Michelle, thank you for your kind words and for allowing me to be part of your journey. It is an honor to walk alongside women as they navigate the challenges of busy lives, hormonal changes, and the pursuit of lasting wellness.

As a little girl, I was fascinated by nutrition and the impact it had on the body, organs, and disease. It was my own quirky hobby. If I wasn’t reading about that or learning about organic gardening with my grandfather, I was exercising with Gilad on TV while my mom was at work during the summers. Afterward, I’d hop on my mom’s three-speed bike and ride through the hills of my neighborhood.

It’s funny how you don’t always realize who’s influencing you until you look back. Rest in peace, Gilad. I never even knew your last name. I just knew you were the guy who made exercise fun for a little girl in small-town Alabama. At the very same time, a boy in small-town Indiana was being influenced in person by Jack LaLanne—never knowing he’d one day become my husband with us sharing our passion in health together as a team.

Looking back now, I realize the joy you helped me find in movement is the same joy that fuels the work I do today. 🙂❤️ - Michelle Williams

THIS is why we love what we do. ❤️🔽🔽🔽
“I had another great session with Michelle today! I always feel so strong and energized after she works the heck out of me!

A little over a year ago I was in RUFF shape. My Hashimoto’s was flaring and I hurt my back pretty bad and gained all the weight I had lost back. I was up to 191 pounds and in debilitating pain. I was facing spine surgery and I just knew I had to try to lose weight first to help my back heal.
I could not workout safely without hurting myself so I just started doing what I know works with my diet and brought back many of the yoli tricks I had learned, but mostly I just stayed in a calorie deficit and was able to lose about 30 pounds.

I was feeling so much better and back pain was under control so I wanted to start working out again but I was so scared of hurting myself so l decided I needed to work with a trainer. I was also very focused on building muscle and bone density and strengthening my core to prevent future back injuries. Also, being in perimenopause made me really want to focus on preventing injuries as I age.

I am SOO00 thankful I found Michelle because she was the diamond in the rough that I was looking for. She works me HARD / while being very careful to prevent injury and making sure I am always in good form and my body is responding well! She helps me with diet and my home workouts too and is always only a text or call away when I need to share wins or struggles…

…. [In six weeks] I lost 4 pounds…my muscle went up by almost 3% and bone mass went up a half point!!

And my body fat decreased by almost 8% and tons of inches gone!
I have lost weight before but this time the focus is on being STRONG. I still have bad days with my back but for the most part it’s so much better and I was able to avoid surgery!! 😬😬

If you are in the Knoxville area and need this same kind of support in your life, I highly recommend that you message Michelle. Did I mention we have fun too?” 😉

A little summer nostalgia today ☀️🌿

Throwing it back to one of our favorite warm-weather meals shared on one of our guest segments with viewers —our Summertime Hobo Stacks on the grill. Easy, customizable, packed with colorful veggies and fruit, and topped with a fresh homemade mango chimichurri that takes it to the next level. 🔥

One of the things we love most about these is how fun they are to make together. Everyone can build their own stack, which makes them perfect for family dinners, summer gatherings, or even a camping trip.

✨ Recipe: Summertime Hobo Stacks + Mango Chimichurri
By Scott & Michelle Williams | Totality Living Well

🥭 Mango Chimichurri
1 c fresh cilantro leaves
1 c fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 c fresh mint leaves
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3/4 c avocado oil
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 T honey
2 t paprika
Himalayan pink salt + fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
1 ripe mango, finely diced

In a food processor, pulse cilantro, parsley, mint, and garlic until coarsely chopped. Add avocado oil, vinegar, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper and pulse into a vinaigrette consistency. Add more oil or vinegar if needed. Transfer to a bowl and fold in diced mango. Set aside.

🔥 Hobo Stacks (Serves 4)
4 pieces foil (approx. 12” x 18”)
1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into chunks
2 large sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 yellow peppers, cut into strips
1 large apple, thinly sliced
4 T coconut oil
Avocado oil spray
Salt, pepper + garlic powder to taste

Spray foil with avocado oil. Layer sweet potatoes in the center, slightly overlapping. Add onion, peppers, apple slices, and steak pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Top each serving with 1 T coconut oil.

Seal foil packets tightly, folding edges to create a secure packet. Grill over medium-high heat for 35–45 minutes.

Carefully open packets (watch the steam!), top generously with mango chimichurri, and enjoy. ☀️

Need a fun meal idea for striking up the grill this Memorial weekend and for the summer ahead? Take a peak at this flashback for inspiration! ❤️🤍💙

These Hobo Stacks are easy, fun and a great way to get the family involved preparing his or her own personal meal. If you have picky eaters, then have a variety of items that they can incorporate to make their own unique creation!

The situation is more common than you think but can really present itself at times of uplevel if your health and fitness routines.

Sometimes the smallest additions create the biggest shifts. ✨☕️

We recently added creatine to our already established morning routine (Scott with hot tea and collagen, Michelle with coffee and collagen), and the difference has been immediate—better energy, better workouts, and better overall feel. We had been taking it midday in cold water with amino acids for years, but moving it into a habit we already enjoy has made it feel even better, far more seamless, and has become a great little hack we’ve recently incorporated together.

Creatine helps support cellular energy, strength, power output, recovery, and even cognitive function—one of the most researched and effective supplements out there.

This little corner also reminded us of something else: it’s time for creatine to get its own glass jar. One of the few remaining pieces of plastic left in our kitchen after a 3-year overhaul to reduce plastic in our kitchen and home, as we’ve been steadily choosing cleaner, simpler swaps wherever we can.

Wellness is rarely one giant overhaul. It’s often small intentional choices—what we add, what we upgrade, and what we repeat consistently.

Always refining. Always learning. Always creating a home and body that feel well cared for. ✨
