On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Dr. Margi Patel, a dentist and mum living in the state of Georgia in the US, who is nine months into her journey with RNT and so far over 60 lbs down. She's on a truly remarkable journey of changing her habits, her lifestyle, her mental health, and her overall well-being.

For Margi, the trigger that hit home was seeing an HbA1c of 6.4 in a lab test. The moment she saw that number, she couldn't sleep all night, and shortly after, she came across RNT and knew it was the solution to get her back on track. Fast forward eight months, and not only is she 60+ lbs down, but her labs now show an HbA1c of 5.1, which is genuinely life-changing and life-extending, as she's avoided diabetes through this journey.

Margi's checkpoint is coming up in the next couple of months, so this is part one of her story, as we're still en route to that milestone, and I'm excited for her to reach it. What's especially cool is that only a few months into her first year, Margi committed to her second year, and recently committed to her third, knowing the power of the long-term journey with us at RNT. She's here for the full multi-year, five phase experience, not just to get in shape and move on. So let’s dive in!
