This week, Samir Mohamed joins us to share his transformation journey. Growing up as the "chubby" kid, he knew that world too well. At age 17, he stepped foot in a gym to see what it was about- and the rest is history. After witnessing the profound changes health & fitness brought to his life, he decided to acquire his NASM personal training certification and weight loss specialist certification. We chat about the weight epidemic in America, the importance of nutrition, doing your own research, and building sustainable habits. Samir's grounded and humble nature produced a positive, motivational conversation, illuminating common themes many of us can relate to. He reminds us, at the end of the day, it's you vs. you in this life and leaves us some simple tools to apply on our paths to Live Thrivingly!
