RNT Fitness Radio

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by RNTer, Karen Wade, who shares the story behind her remarkable transformation as a new mum. As soon as Karen fell pregnant, she knew it was time to take her health and fitness to the next level, educate herself about food and nutrition, and set her and her family up for future success. In the next hour or so, Karen dives deep into why this transformation was so important to her, from candid stories of experiencing racism and prejudice growing up, even from her own communities, to how her battles with self-confidence have helped shape much of the why behind her journey. If you’d like to see the pictures behind Karen’s journey, be sure to check out the case study in the show notes.

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we speak with Shruti Sangani, an RNTer who shares a truly remarkable story to overcome significant challenges in her life. During the conversation, Shruti shares how her journey with RNT began after being abandoned and losing her sense of identity.   And what’s different about her story is how she started RNT underweight, and in need of gaining weight. At 39kg 5 foot 6, her goals were different to the norm. And in this episode, she reflects on how her strength and resilience during this time of being underweight prevented her from falling into depression, and at one point, even death.   Shruti talks about how her “why” changed to always being strong for her nephews, and how this became a significant driving factor for her.    Overall, Shruti’s story is one of hope, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit.
