On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by long-time RNTer, Anila. Who, to be honest, is completely unrecognizable since where she started three years ago. Anila is down 30 kilos, but more than that her confidence has completely shot through the roof.

But the deeper truth hit harder: Life's too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self. She didn't just want to feel better. She needed to be strong, emotionally, mentally, physically, to face what was coming next: Her son's ASD diagnosis, the stress of family life...
