Today she's deadlifting 135 pounds and training for the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. This is what changed.</p><p><br></p><p>📋 Mimi is a wellness coach, certified personal trainer, and Metabolic Health practitioner who faced Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, a stroke, and a life-threatening MRSA spinal infection — all within a few years of each other. She went from using a walker and losing hope at a mailbox to building muscle, coming off all medication, and now coaching others with Parkinson's through metabolic and movement-based restoration. This is her full two-year update.</p><p><br></p><p>🔑 What You'll Learn</p><ul><li>How Mimi reduced her Parkinson's medication dependency by shifting to a high-fat, low-carb diet and eventually came off all medication after three and a half years</li><li>Why the \"mailbox moment\" — not a dramatic breakthrough — was the turning point that saved her life, and what she did with just 10 steps a day</li><li>How a MRSA spinal infection destroyed vertebrae L2, L3, and part of L4, and why she still carries the bacteria today and manages around it</li><li>What her coaching approach looks like for people with Parkinson's — including PWR moves, macro tracking, protein timing, and the mental shift she considers non-negotiable</li><li>Why muscle mass may be one of the most important investments you can make before illness strikes, and what she tells clients who want a quick fix</li></ul><p><br></p><p>💡 Key Insight</p><p>\"The act of taking 10 more steps was — I'm worth 10 more steps. That was all I could do, that was all I had in me, but I was worth those 10 steps.\" — Mimi Morgan</p><p><br></p><p>🌐 Connect with Mimi Morgan</p><p>Website:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.just10moresteps.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.just10moresteps.com</a></p><p>X:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://x.com/mimikmorgan\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/mimikmorgan</a></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mimimorgank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/mimimorgank</a></p><p>Facebook:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559122019739\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559122019739</a></p><p><br></p><p>⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions.</p><p><br></p><p>⏳ Chapters</p><p>0:47 Introduction</p><p>2:39 Five-Year Cliff Notes — Dupuytren's, RA, and Parkinson's</p><p>5:47 The Stroke, the Tainted IV, and MRSA</p><p>9:12 Given Less Than 50% Chance of Surviving</p><p>12:04 The Mailbox Moment</p><p>14:49 Worth 10 More Steps</p><p>15:54 Discovering Low Carb and Running on Ketones</p><p>30:06 Two-Year Update — Training, Coaching, and What's Changed</p><p>31:57 The Mental Shift That Made Everything Else Possible</p><p>41:38 PWR Moves, Muscle, and Who Mimi Coaches</p>","author_name":"Robyn R Dobbins"}
