my story
Hey! This is The Autoimmune Healer, Meaghan!
I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition 12 years ago. To mitigate this, my doctors prescribed medication with regular blood tests. They assured me that with this medication, my bloodwork was normal and my condition was managed.
The problem was that my symptoms had not subsided. Instead they were getting worse and I was having more and more autoimmune issues. The doctors did a few more blood tests and admitted they could help me no further.
As far as my bloodwork showed, I was healthy. So with no solution in sight, I decided to rely on myself and the 25 years of nutrition practice under my belt.
“I knew that food can be either medicine or poison.”
So I developed a nutrition plan taking into account holistic foods, mental health, emotional wellbeing and YOU!

When I turned to Meaghan for help, I had reached a point where I didn’t feel good upon waking each morning and had to hold the railing to navigate down the stairs. My TSH numbers were in range, but Hashimotos was out of control. After 4 days on Meaghan’s plan, I could walk down the stairs without holding the railing. I met my 20lb weight loss goal within 10 weeks, and I feel better than I have in years! Still a ways to go and am thankful to Meaghan’s compassionate manner, understanding, in depth knowledge, and creative tips. She knows what she’s doing!!

Meaghan has been so attentive and supporting during this process. Not to mention answering all the questions I’ve has and responding so quickly.

Simply put – Meaghan Faragasso has been THE GAME CHANGER for me. I am motivated and I wanted results. What I lacked is the skill set to accomplish my nutrition and fitness goals. My body transformation is no joke – the results speak for themselves. I carry her business card in my gym bag because I am asked all the time – what am I doing? You look amazing. I literally just hand them her card! I have been working out for 20 years, eating clean for the last 10 and never got these results. Shedding fat, building muscle, and what was most imperative was learning what foods work with my body – all in a program that is DESIGNED FOR ME. This program allows me to transform my body into what I want. It really is body by design! She is everything everyone says below. Her knowledge and ability to cut through the noise, coupled with her empathy and ability to say just the right thing at the right time make her one of the best in the business! I have new goals and we are going to CRUSH 2019 together! I could not recommend more.

Thank you Meaghan for all the nutrition and fitness coaching and encouragement throughout the program. What started off as a three week Beta Program turned out to be a 6 month journey. Weight loss doesn’t happen overnight and Meaghan gives you the tools, support, and encouragement to be successful. You have weekly coach calls but she is always available if you have questions. Additionally, you have accountability and encouragement from others who are also on this journey. I also loved that I could still have some of my favorite foods just a healthier version. I am excited to continue this healthy lifestyle and continue my weight loss journey. I have lost about 29 pounds thus far and had many non-scale victories. I have the tools to continue to be successful. Additionally, I feel fit, energized and more tone. Meaghan is absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable.

I connected with Meaghan after hearing great things about her program from a couple of my coaching colleagues. I am a 31y/o new mama to a 7 month old baby boy, and I felt that I needed structure, guidance, and accountability to restore my body and get me back to feeling like myself.
Adjusting to the demanding schedule of a new mom and juggling my other responsibilities, it felt as though there was no consistency in my workouts and certainly no “well-balanced” to my nutrition. Before baby, I was exercising daily (sometimes twice a day) on top of an already very active lifestyle working as a skating coach at Medstar Capitals Iceplex, an in-game host for several of Monumental Sports & Entertainment’s teams, and a pilates instructor at Sculpd. Meaghan spent ample time understanding my goals, why they were important to me, and what I was willing/able to do to accomplish them. She also made sure to check in with me weekly through our coaching calls to evaluate my progress and answer any questions I had.
My goals included: physically losing weight to get back to a range I was comfortable with, toning/strengthening my muscles, boosting my energy, sleeping better, and developing/regaining healthier nutrition habits. All in all, these goals allowed me to be the best version of myself for all the roles I hold. Furthermore, my husband and I hope to start trying for baby number 2 this summer, and I want to be able to be as healthy and strong for this pregnancy/labor/delivery as I was for my first.
I chose to complete the 21 Day Metabolic Detox/Reset and could not be happier with the outcome:
The Workouts – Challenging but not mentally overwhelming. Was able to get them done in 30 minutes or less with just a mat (and I added in some dumbbells). I ended up losing about 8 pounds and can see the difference in the tone and definition of my muscles. I also just feel more confident, strong, energetic and athletic – light and agile on my feet. That feeling is incredible when you witness your own strength/endurance improving.
The Nutrition – Meaghan created a well balanced meal plan that didn’t feel like I was depriving myself of anything. I started craving salty/sweet foods less and less, while craving nutritious snacks more and more. I enjoyed my scheduled “treat meals” of course, but they became more of an afterthought. As I began to look at my food as fuel, I had this underlying desire to give my body the best fuel. As a result of the clean eating, I found that I had less gastrointestinal issues and a noticeable energy boost after meals since my body was utilizing the nutrients so efficiently. It also improved my mental clarity, mood, and ability to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep (as much as the baby would cooperate) resulting in waking up feeling energized and refreshed.
Overall, I can’t say enough good things about Meaghan and her program. For me, this was more than just the number on the scale. It was getting myself back into a healthier way of life as I am a creature of habit and my habits needed some overhauling. Thanks to this program, I feel I am “back on track” and living a (sustainable) healthier lifestyle leading me to the healthiest version of me. Thank you Meaghan – from one new mama to another – I am forever grateful!
