If your goal in 2026 is to break into the Reward Phase, this is an episode you don’t want to miss....

Ep 446 - Hall of Fame | Arpna Mehta: 52.9lbs Down & Beating Stress Eating
RNT Fitness Radio
After losing her uncle to brain cancer, Arpna spiralled. Grief told her, “Life’s too short… eat what you want, drink what you like.” But the deeper truth hit harder: Life’s too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self.

So she stopped waiting. She committed fully. And she used the physical as the vehicle to...
