On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Priya Parmar. I'm recording this almost exactly a year into her journey, as she's about to begin her second year, and she's celebrating 23kg down so far, with just a few more to go until she hits her checkpoint.

Priya's journey began after the sudden passing of her brother, just four months after she'd lost her mother. It came at a moment in her life where she took a hard, honest look at her own health, her habits, and her body composition, and knew she wanted to make a serious change.

Here we are a year later, and Priya is a completely different woman. I'm really excited for you to hear this account of what true change entails, and how Priya took one of the most difficult times in her life and turned it into fuel to transform herself, and those around her.
So without further ado, let's dive in.
