Community Highlights: Meet Afia Asante of Bodiedbyfia

Today we’d like to introduce you to Afia Asante.

Hi Afia, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hi, I’m Fia, a health and wellness coach and content creator specializing in gut health, hormonal health, and nutrition.
I started out as a certified personal trainer focused on weight gain and glute growth, helping women build an hourglass figure. My goal was to help women become their most confident selves, but I led with aesthetics.

In 2024, I came to the end of myself. I had the body, but I still felt empty. I was teaching health while silently suffering, and I could no longer show up for myself, my business, or my clients because of the state of my mind, body, and spirit.

So I took a break and went on a healing journey, one that started from the inside out. I began with my gut, and as it healed, everything shifted. I had more clarity, focus, and energy, and I could finally show up in my business and as the woman God called me to be.

My outlook on health used to be all about aesthetics. Now I see it’s so much bigger. Taking care of your body helps you show up and love and serve well: for your family, your school, your business, your workplace, and your relationships. It helps you live out your calling, walk in full authority, take up space, and do everything you were put on this earth to do. Aesthetics are just the byproduct. Health is wealth, and your body isn’t separate from your business or your purpose. I had to learn that the hard way, and I’m grateful I did, so the next woman doesn’t have to.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road at all. My platforms were built entirely on gaining weight and growing my glutes, so pivoting was hard, even though I knew there was more to life than how your body looks.
That niche is where my business blew up and was founded, and I saw so much success there. It was hard to let go of that version of myself, but deep down I knew it wasn’t me anymore.

I was rebuilding my life alongside rebuilding my business, and at one point I even wondered if this was what I was put on earth to do. I felt so much resistance walking into this new season.

Stepping out of my comfort zone was a big part of it. Before, all I had to do was post a workout video. Now I had to show up on camera and speak, share my story, and let people see the real me. That required a different version of myself, one I had to grow into. I knew it would take a deeper part of me to show up, one that is visible and fully known.

But that growth has been worth it. Showing up fully has opened doors I never imagined, and it’s allowed me to connect with women on a deeper level and help them heal and walk in who they were created to be. I’m grateful I didn’t stay comfortable.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a health and wellness coach, currently becoming a certified nutritionist + Pilates instructor , specializing in gut health and hormonal health. I help high-achieving women become the healthiest versions of themselves so they can show up as their best selves and walk in their full authority.

What sets me apart is that every woman I work with walks away with more than a healthy body. She leaves with a healthy mind and a deeper level of faith. Caring for our bodies is an act of stewardship, and what you build in this area of your life bleeds into every other area.

I’m most proud of helping women who were told they’d just have to live with autoimmune disease, chronic illness, hormonal imbalances, SIBO, PCOS, IBS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. find real relief and full restoration. I believe God designed the body to heal, and when a woman has the faith to believe that, it changes how she shows up. I get to walk that journey with her.

I offer the Gut Reset + workout guide as a self-paced program or a cohort, and I also work with women 1:1.

What are your plans for the future?
I plan to help millions of women around the world. That means growing the Gut Reset into a program that reaches more women, and opening a space where movement and gut healing come together under one roof * think multiple locations all around the world! haha.

Long term, my vision is to continue to build a community and a body of work that teaches women their health is not separate from their calling. I want women everywhere to know that healing is possible, and that they can take care of their bodies so they can show up fully for the life they were created to live.
