This episode is one that will leave you feeling inspired and ready to move! Michael Carthan has struggled with his weight throughout his adult life. Two years ago, he made a commitment to improve his health and started a journey where he lost over 125 pounds by changing his diet and adding exercise to his daily routine.  He has seen how his improved fitness has changed his overall health and given him the energy to play with his grandchildren.  When Michael was at his heaviest weight of 435 pounds, he had a wake-up call and enrolled in a program from Virta Health. Along with his coach, Lauren Wagner, Michael is ready to share his personal story of the ups and downs of his journey and how he won the battle. Coach Lauren is a registered dietitian nutritionist and works with Virta Health, the first clinically proven treatment to safely and sustainably reverse type 2 diabetes without the use of medications or surgery.
