Welcome to my blog!


Ciao! Michelle Schacherer here!  I'm so glad you're here and welcome you to my blog! For all of those who don't know me, I am a CrossFitter, fit junkie and extremely passionate about fitness, nutrition, health and spirituality. I love being active and am always looking forward to what this life will bring me. There is so much to learn and share! Plus, if we're lucky enough to be in good health, we are able to see the potential our bodies and minds have and enjoy the journey where they, combined, will take us.

In this blog I share with you my personal experience as I navigated through an interesting childhood where food was the only thing that would comfort me, then moving into the awkward teenage years where I tried to look like the super stars I'd see on TV (yup, I wanted to be that next Britney Spears but totally failed, lol!); and finally, moving into really looking for professional help and being an autodidact, learning from the paleo trendsetters such as Robb Wolf, Dave Asprey, Dr. Chris Kresser, Dr. Mercola, Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, among others, about our metabolism, mind-body connection, how to better approach life, nutrition and fitness.

This blog is for anyone who can relate to the usual "you just don't have enough willpower", "it's your genes", "you just have to move more and eat less"... You name it! We all have been there and it becomes really frustrating because, at the end of the day, you get even more confused because there's always the next great diet that will give you a Victoria's Secret super model body, but then you find out that... Alas... Well, it's not that easy! One thing's for sure: There is no one-size-fits-all approach! 

 That said, what I will share has worked for me, but may not work for you. However, some basics have helped a lot of people get their health back on track and feel better overall about their lives. So, I hope you can find my experience helpful and that you can implement anything that works for you!

At any point, please, feel free to share any comments, thoughts, or anything with me by shooting me an email to smschacherer@gmail.com. I love getting to know people, especially those who can relate to my story. 

Ready to join me on my adventure? Read on! :)

The Cereal Diet

One morning, I woke up completely decided to change my life. I was tired of being called names, being told how bad I was at keeping a normal/healthy weight and decided to follow what the "experts" always said: Eat less, move more.  Little did I know that it wasn't just about that. I had no idea about the nutrients my body needed in order to keep me healthy and my metabolism running smoothly. I can honestly say that at that time, ignorance was bliss.  So, what did I do? I thought that maybe eating 1 bowl of cereal a day would be enough to reduce the amount of calories I needed in order to lose weight, and, moreover, that dancing would be my exercise of choice! Yes... Dancing! For those who know me, I don't like dancing. I don't dance or anything (Well, alright... I can Waltz ;)). Anyway, since I was a Backstreet Boys fan, I would dance to all their songs and learn their choreographies. I knew the steps to most of their songs by the end of 6th grade...

Synergistic Lifestyle: Putting Everything Together

Changes are not easy, they bring with them a lot of resistance. However, I have learned to embrace them throughout the years, but, while they happen, they make me uneasy. They bring uncertainty, which drives me crazy. Nevertheless, whenever I find myself anxious about what the future will bring, I sit down, meditate and repeat the following mantra: "I trust". And I really do trust , I know that no matter what, the universe will never take me to a worse place, quite the contrary, I know it'll be to a better one. And so it was. After saying good-bye to toxic relationships, toxic environment (blue lights, media, news, reality shows, junk food in the kitchen, commercial body and hair care products, among other things) I saw my life change for the better. The new changes I made included hanging out with positive people, people who were into health and nutrition, spiritual people, people who appreciated the different cultures of the world, open-minded people, and success...
