On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by long-time RNTer and physician, Roya Javid, to explore what life has looked like since first starting her journey with us at the end of 2021. After being diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12, Roya spent much of her life battling chronic pain. Then, following the pandemic and a rotator cuff surgery in 2021, she began gaining weight and losing structure. With years of diet attempts behind her, she was searching for a sustainable solution—and that’s when she came across RNT after taking one of our quizzes, which we’ll link in the show notes. Fast forward to today: at 52 years young, Roya is still in the best shape of her life. She’s maintained a bikini-body physique year-round, all while juggling motherhood, running multiple businesses, launching a non-profit, and enjoying complete food freedom. If you’ve ever wondered what the strategies behind long-term success look like with the RNT Transformation Journey, this episode is for you.   Chapters: 00:00 Roya's Journey Begins 02:09 Facing Health Challenges 06:41 The Wake-Up Call 12:18 Resigning to Body Image 14:41 Surrendering to the Process 17:31 Emotional Eating and Self-Talk 20:28 Creating a Power Down Ritual 25:16 Harnessing Infrared Sauna for Pain Relief and Sleep 29:29 The Journey of Strength Training Post-Surgery 34:49 Embracing Body Confidence and Self-Acceptance 39:01 Transforming Self-Talk and Food Relationships 42:22 Creating Impact Through Nonprofit Initiatives 45:50 Advice for Newcomers: Embracing the Journey   Resources:Read Roya's Case Study here   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you’re ready for a transformation: https://scorecard.rntfitness.com/  3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm sitting down with RNTer Archna Mehta who joined us a year ago after hitting a breaking point when she was trying on clothes during a shopping visit. She tried everything for years but after seeing her cousin go through the RNT journey, she knew a holistic approach with a proven method was the missing piece.Fast forward a year and despite PCOS, menopause, hypothyroid, vegetarian diet and being in her mid-40s, Archna is in the best shape of her life and is now working on building a lifestyle solution to maintain it year-round. And it's not just the physical results. Archna has grown in confidence and energy; and her health, hormones and habits are in the best place ever. Archna is now entering her second year into the journey, and this is an awesome podcast showing what happens when you go all in.   Chapters: 00:00 The Trigger Moment for Change 02:58 The Journey Begins: Commitment to Transformation 06:05 Overcoming Skepticism and Building Trust 08:50 Navigating the Early Stages of Change 12:12 Vision and Accountability in the Transformation Process 14:58 Post-Checkpoint Challenges and Mindset Shifts 18:00 The Importance of Holistic Approaches 21:07 Reflections on the Journey and Future Goals 26:46 Navigating Health Challenges and Lifestyle Changes 29:02 The Impact of Menopause on Wellness 30:03 The Grind: Overcoming Physical and Mental Barriers 32:39 Consolidation: Transitioning to Maintenance 36:56 Strength Training: Building a Stronger Future 42:52 The Role of Physical Health in Emotional Well-being 45:40 Investing in Your Health: The Value of Commitment 48:28 Advice for Those Starting Their Journey   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you’re ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

Hey, it’s Akash here, and on this week’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m bringing back a classic - a rerun of what’s still the most popular team episode we’ve ever recorded.   It’s called “What Typical Mindfulness Is Missing”, and over the years, it’s racked up tens of thousands of downloads. I think it struck it chord when it dropped because it tackled a conversation we have often behind the scenes at RNT - the idea that you can’t just think your way to a transformation. Mindfulness is powerful, and it absolutely has its place. But on its own, it’s not enough. Just like physical change isn’t the full picture either. What we’re really after - and what this episode explores - is a holistic approach that blends mind, body, and action. This originally aired four or five years ago, but the message is just as relevant today - if not more. I hope you enjoy revisiting it.   Chapters: 00:00 The Journey of Self: Body and Soul Connection 02:03 Introspection and Action: The Transformation Formula 04:43 The Power of Journaling: A Personal Practice 08:41 Finding Presence: Mindfulness in Daily Activities 10:50 Individuality in Practices: Tailoring Your Journey 16:29 Facing Stress Head-On: The Importance of Action 21:34 Breaking the Cycle: Moving Beyond Victimhood 25:42 Ownership and Transformation: The Key to Progress 30:07 Physical as the Vehicle: Health and Higher Consciousness 32:07 Mindfulness and Physical Health Connection 35:04 The Importance of Physical Health for Mental Resilience 39:35 Balancing Work and Recovery 42:00 Creating Effective Evening Routines 48:40 Prioritising Health and Self-Care   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you’re ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn
