Weight Loss Unmasked with Erica Gurrieri11 Feb 2022

Determined to Beat Genetics | Amanda's Story

Young, beautiful...and pre-diabetic, Amanda Nunn was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Predisposed to diabetes and other health concerns, she tapped into her "hard-headedness" and harnessed something else: discipline and determination. Literally teaching and retraining herself how to care for her own body, Amanda found herself on a journey that looked much less like a diet and more like a lifestyle reboot. Step by step on her weight loss and wellness mission, she found success in losing a whopping 85 pounds, and ultimately being in the best shape--and health--of her life.

Interviewing Amanda was like discovering a gold mine of new ideas, tricks and faith to stay on the weight loss path and not veer off too far. Why? Amanda was met with various challenges like body dysmorphia, overexertion, binge eating, ADD and adjusting to prescription meds. And then there were those late nights in school where the only semblance of food was tucked away in a vending machine. (Are you sure Fritos aren't an option?)

From those challenges came great wisdom and awesome motivation to flip around her entire life. Recently earning her certification, she's now inspiring others as a professional trainer to trailblaze their way to happiness and health with her circuit and bootcamp classes. Talk about taking life by the horns!

Tune into this episode for some useful tips from someone who's been there, including how to track your progress to fun exercise recommendations that may help you get off the couch. You can also follow or reach out to Amanda on social:
