Coach Confessional: Dental Drama, Sleep Studies & the Power of Community

Let’s talk real life for a minute—because this week’s Coach Confessional episode is packed with it. From overdue dentist appointments and sleep drama to powerful client breakthroughs and summer event updates, Amanda Tress and Le Bergin are keeping it real.

Yes, there’s dental drama and snoring husbands. But more importantly, there’s a powerful thread running through the entire conversation: the FASTer Way lifestyle doesn’t just change how you look—it changes how you feel, show up, and even… keeps your teeth clean?

Here’s a peek at what’s inside the episode—and why you’ll want to tune in.

12 Years Without a Dentist Visit?

Le’s confession is one many of us can relate to: the anxiety of going to the dentist after way too long (try 12 years). But what starts as a cringe-worthy crown mishap turns into a surprising celebration—because even after skipping appointments, her dentist was blown away by the health of her gums and teeth. The reason? A diet rich in whole foods, minimal snacking, and zero processed junk.

Let that sink in: macro-balanced nutrition and minimal sugar didn’t just help with energy and fat loss—it supported her dental health, too.

It’s one of those “aha!” moments that reminds us that taking care of our whole health matters—more than just for body composition goals.

Insomnia, Progesterone, and the Quest for Deep Sleep

Then, we switch gears and dive into Amanda’s battle with insomnia—and this part is so relatable if you’ve ever laid awake at 3 a.m. replaying your to-do list or wondering if your hormones are sabotaging your sleep. From testing progesterone doses to prepping for a full 90-day sleep study with Dr. Andy Galpin’s team, Amanda is pulling back the curtain on the reality of sleep struggles (even when you’re doing “everything right”).

You’ll hear about:

  • The surprising impact of sunlight on sleep patterns
  • Why sleep can actually feel worse after a sleeping pill
  • The tools she’s testing to figure out what works (and what doesn’t)
  • How cortisol and recovery play into the whole equation

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s a reminder that even Coaches have to keep experimenting and advocating for their own wellness.

Fit Wars, Leg Day, and the Magic of the FASTer Way Community

But it’s not all dental drama and sleepless nights—this episode is full of community wins and client moments that will hit you right in the heart.

From July’s Fit Wars challenge to surprise gifts from clients, Amanda and Le share how powerful it is to stay connected and show up for each other. Whether it’s cheering each other on for 100 burpees (yes, really), gathering for local workouts, or just hearing your name called from the stage—this is what makes the FASTer Way different.

Inside the episode, you’ll hear:

  • What’s going down on July 26 for our next Fit Wars community event
  • How clients are using the program to stay consistent through hard seasons
  • Big announcements for upcoming in-person events in Dallas and Nashville (psst…you might want to start planning a girls’ trip)
  • Why community support is just as powerful for the coaches as it is for clients

What It All Means for You

Whether you’re crushing your summer fitness goals or feeling off track, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to do it alone. You can feel strong and confident—body, mind, and sleep cycle included.

The FASTer Way lifestyle isn’t just a fitness plan. It’s a full-body, full-life strategy for feeling your best, fueling your energy, and building a life that supports you in every season (and dentist appointment).

Want the full story?

From spinning crowns and sleep studies to beach workouts and bold breakthroughs, this episode will have you laughing, nodding along, and feeling seen.
