Parkinson's: From Using a Cane to Deadlifting 135 lbs | Mimi Morgan


Listen Later

πŸ“£ Mimi Morgan was given less than a 50% chance of surviving the next 18 months. Today she's deadlifting 135 pounds and training for the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. This is what changed.


πŸ“‹ 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 β€” 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.


πŸ”‘ What You'll Learn

  • 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
  • Why the "mailbox moment" β€” not a dramatic breakthrough β€” was the turning point that saved her life, and what she did with just 10 steps a day
  • 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
  • What her coaching approach looks like for people with Parkinson's β€” including PWR moves, macro tracking, protein timing, and the mental shift she considers non-negotiable
  • 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


πŸ’‘ Key Insight

"The act of taking 10 more steps was β€” 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." β€” Mimi Morgan
