About Me

Hi! I'm Yanik, a 57-year-old wife and proud mom of three (my girls are 24 and 20, and my son is 17 – they truly are my world!). Living in sunny South Florida with my husband, Carlos, our youngest, Nico, and our rescue pup, Harper, life is full, and my faith is my foundation.

Like many women in their 50s, I experienced the frustrating reality of unexplained weight gain despite thinking I was doing all the "right" things. Blaming it on everything from perimenopause to COVID felt easy, but the day my black sweatpants became my only comfortable option was a wake-up call. I know firsthand how challenging this can be.

My journey to feeling strong and energized again led me to discover the FASTer Way program, and honestly, it was a game-changer. Tracking macros, carb cycling, targeted workouts, and intermittent fasting delivered results I hadn't seen in years – hello again, skinny jeans! This wasn't just about fitting into clothes; it was about feeling energized and strong again.  It was like a lightbulb went off, and I knew I had to share this with other women. 

This transformation wasn't just personal; it sparked a passion to share this incredible program with other women. As a Certified FASTer Way Coach, my mission is to empower you to ditch the frustration, reclaim your energy, and feel confident again. You don't have to accept weight gain and feeling tired as your new normal – there is a solution, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I want to meet you where you are and provide the support you need to feel your absolute best.

Through The Fit and Healthy Diaries, I'm here to inspire, teach, and motivate you on your journey to a healthier, happier you. Expect real talk, practical tips, and a supportive community. Maybe we can even partner together so you can share this blessing and create your own online fitness business as an Ambassador or a Certified Coach. 

Thanks for being here – I'm excited to connect with you!
