In this episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Dr. Hannah Brandt, a physical therapist turned health and fitness coach. Dr. Brandt shares her journey from working in a demanding clinical setting to transitioning to virtual nutrition and fitness coaching for women.

We delve into her experiences in physical therapy school, the challenges she faced, and the contrasts between physical therapy and medical school experiences.

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

Dr. Hannah Brandt Bio:

Dr. Hannah Brandt, PT, DPT, CPT, IFNCP, is the founder and lead coach at HLB Lifestyle, a virtual nutrition and fitness coaching company that aims to redefine the accepted norms of diet culture and weight loss. Having faced her own weight issues while following 'all the rules,' Hannah came to the realization that women don’t need another product, program, or supplement. Instead, they need what helped Hannah lose and maintain a weight loss of over sixty pounds: a personalized nutrition and fitness plan, and a coach who can support them in discovering their own motivation, offer accountability, and guide them through the highs and lows. HLB Lifestyle is shifting the concepts associated with weight management from fad diets, severe restriction, and quick fixes to sustainability, optimal health, and a relentless pursuit of joy.
