Founder & CEO | Functional Health Coach | Speaker & Entrepreneur | Women's Health Advocate and Educator

SHORT BIO

Michelle Peña is a functional health coach, entrepreneur, and women's speaker with 28 years in fitness and business. As the founder of Wellness with Michelle and Rise RX Fitness, she helps high performing women rebuild their energy and capacity at the root level.

LONG BIO

After earning her BSN from the University of Texas at Tyler, Michelle Peña chose entrepreneurship over the clinical path, a decision that would shape the next three decades of her life. Alongside her husband Cune Peña, she co-founded and co-led nine fitness centers across East and North Texas, including helping implement the retail fitness model for CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System in Tyler and Texas Health Resources in Burleson.

She grew Premier Fitness to 4,800 members in the mid-2000s, launched the first CrossFit affiliate in Tyler, founded Rose City Ruckus, and built a women's community of 1,500+ members through SheTribe. In late 2019, she launched Rise RX Fitness, a health coaching startup that reached $1M in two years.

In 2016, a personal health crisis changed everything. Despite her credentials, drive, and track record, Michelle found herself depleted, inflamed, and dismissed by conventional medicine. That experience sent her into functional and integrative health, where she earned her IHP2, NTP, and CHHC certifications and discovered a pattern she would see again and again: high performers who look fine on paper but feel like they are falling apart on the inside.

She founded Wellness with Michelle to close that gap. Today, she combines functional lab testing, targeted nutrition, nervous system regulation, and root cause strategy to help women understand what is actually driving their symptoms and build a foundation that holds.

The Reveal 6 Month Program

Over six months, we work together to uncover and correct the underlying imbalances driving your fatigue, inflammation, gut dysfunction, hormone shifts, and chronic stress.

Healing takes time, and we move in the right order. First calming and stabilizing your system, then addressing deeper root causes, so your progress feels steady instead of overwhelming.

Through advanced lab testing, targeted nutrition, and monthly 1:1 sessions, you gain clarity about what your body has been working to tell you and a clear plan to restore energy and resilience at the root.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Phase 1: Regulate — We stabilize the core systems that influence everything else. Nutrition, blood sugar, digestion, stress, and sleep, so your body feels safe enough to repair.

Phase 2: Repair — Advanced functional lab testing to assess hormones, gut health, detox pathways, and nutrient status. Thoughtful interpretation and a personalized roadmap based on your unique physiology. GI Map stool test included ($400 value).

Phase 3: Reclaim — We refine your plan through monthly sessions and ongoing messaging support as your body responds. This is where healing becomes sustainable.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF

  • You are exhausted or inflamed but keep being told everything is normal
  • You are dealing with gut issues, hormone symptoms, weight resistance, or blood sugar swings that are not resolving
  • You are ready to move beyond band-aid solutions and want structure, accountability, and compassion
  • You are willing to give your body the time it needs to heal properly

How the 6 Month Health Coaching Program Works

Assess

Your program begins with understanding what is actually driving your symptoms. Through comprehensive intake, medical history review, and strategic lab testing, we uncover the full picture. This is not about running every test possible. It is about identifying what is relevant to you specifically, assessing how your hormones, gut health, metabolic function, inflammation, detox pathways, and nutrient status are interacting. When we understand the whole picture, we stop guessing.

Foundational Blood Chemistry: A comprehensive blood panel that goes beyond normal, evaluating cardiovascular and metabolic function, inflammatory markers, blood sugar balance, full thyroid function, sex hormones, adrenal patterns, and key nutrient levels. Creates a clear baseline and reveals patterns routine labs often overlook.

Gut and Microbiome Testing: Gut health influences mood, hormones, immunity, and inflammation. Advanced microbiome analysis assesses bacterial balance, digestive function, and hidden pathogens so we can address root inflammation rather than surface symptoms.

Environmental and Toxin Assessment: For some women, hidden stressors like heavy metals or mold exposure are quietly contributing to fatigue, hormone disruption, or brain fog. When clinically appropriate, targeted testing identifies these burdens and informs a safe detox strategy.

Hormone Mapping: When hormone imbalance is part of the picture, advanced testing evaluates not just levels but rhythm and metabolism. Understanding cortisol patterns and estrogen processing allows us to create personalized strategies for restoring balance.

Regulate

Before advanced protocols, we build your foundation. This phase restores stability to the systems that determine your energy and resilience. Nutrient-dense whole foods, blood sugar stability, digestive support, nervous system regulation, and restorative sleep.

These fundamentals are not optional. They are what allow deeper healing to hold. When your body feels safe and supported, it can repair. This phase creates the stability that everything else is built on.

Repair

This is where clarity replaces confusion.

During your lab review, we walk through your results together, connecting your symptoms, history, stress patterns, and lifestyle to what is happening biologically. You see how your systems are interacting and why your body has been responding the way it has.

From there, we build a personalized healing roadmap that addresses root causes in the right order with steady, step-by-step support.

Reclaim

Healing is not linear. It evolves.

Each month we meet to assess your progress, review your body's response, and refine your plan. As your system stabilizes, we adjust nutrition, lifestyle rhythms, and supplement protocols to match what your body needs next.

The goal is a way of living your body can sustain long after the program ends.
