NEW EPISODES EVERY WEDS!
Today is the day that you TRANSFORM, from the inside, out! Robin is joined by Heidi Powell, renowned Transformation Specialist from "Extreme Weight Loss," and Jennifer McKee, who lost 138 pounds in less than ONE YEAR (naturally)! The ladies discuss the process of fully reinventing yourself, and why weight loss and transformation are NOT the same thing. You'll LOVE hearing about Jennifer's journey to drop weight despite a life-altering foot issue standing in her way. She reflects on how her first step was learning to love herself and describes the chain effects that happened from there. Heidi shares some absolutely critical information about where to start, how to start, and how to hold yourself accountable. She describes her "perfectly imperfect" method that takes the pressure OFF of ourselves for once (you'll be floored to hear that sometimes Heidi only works out for 5 minutes!). Stay until the end for a fun "word transformation" competition game. If you're looking for a sign that it's time to transform yourself, this is it!
Heidi Powell:
Heidi Powell is the ultimate female force. She is a trainer, transformation specialist, mother of four, savvy businesswoman, author, nutrition nut, and overall health guru. Heidi became a fixture in America’s living room as she worked side-by-side Chris Powell on ABC’s hit show, “Extreme Weight Loss.” Heidi empowered thousands across the globe as the matriarch and tour de force for the often-struggling participants, serving as their daily fitness coach, voice of reason and biggest cheerleader.
In March 2017, Chris and Heidi launched their debut digital platform, TRANSFORM with Chris and Heidi, with the goal of transforming one million lives. The app has received over 400K downloads, has over 25K active users, and provides users with the motivation, exercises, nutrition, and built-in community for a successful transformation.
In addition to the app, the TRANSFORM brand has expanded immensely with the introduction of its own supplement line, including the line of EVERYDAY meal replacement shakes, energy formulas, and vitamins, and the PERFORM line of workout and performance products. Taking it a step further, TRANSFORM also launched a one-on-one coaching program where app users are paired with a certified personal coach who has a history of successful transformations and works side by side with Chris and Heidi.

Jennifer McKee:

She struggled with yo-yo dieting and emotional/binge eating for almost 30 years. She was able to lose weight despite not being able to exercise much at the first part of her journey due to severe plantar fasciitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome. This foot condition
Jennifer’s journey inspired her to create a health coaching business, McKee Health Transformations (https://mckeehealth.com), in August 2016 to help others transform their lives.
