Michelle Hastie

Dr. Michelle Hastie Thompson studies human behavior, specifically how patterns, unmet needs, and disconnection shape the way we think, feel, and act.

For more than 15 years, she has helped people understand the root of their behaviors so they can create real, lasting change, not just in weight loss, but in how they show up in their lives, relationships, and decisions.

Her work focuses on the idea that most struggles, whether with food, habits, or consistency, are not discipline problems, but disconnection problems. Through her HUMAN framework, Michelle teaches people how to recognize their internal patterns, understand what’s driving them, and respond in a way that actually supports change.

In addition to her coaching work, Michelle is a PhD researcher studying social connectedness and its impact on well-being and behavior. Her writing bridges research and real life, giving readers practical ways to break out of cycles, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with clarity.
