Description

It would be easy enough to let a single diagnosis dictate the trajectory of your life. Let alone multiple chronic illnesses. 


Today’s guest is Loz Antonenko, an inspiring fitness instructor, life coach and published author of a book titled, “Get the F** Unstuck”. 


Throughout this episode, Loz shares how her personal health struggles became the catalyst for deep transformation—both mentally and physically and how it culminated in her current path as a wellbeing advocate and public speaker. 


From being diagnosed with a laundry list of chronic health conditions including ADHD, ulcerative colitis, fibromyagia, chronic fatigue syndrome, PCOS and PMDD (to name a few), to becoming a passionate advocate for mental and physical wellbeing, Loz shares how she turned life’s setbacks into stepping stones.


Learn about Loz’s simple, yet transformative concepts of tweaking “handbrake habits.” Daily practices, accessible to anyone around eating, breathing, sleeping, moving, and hydrating. With a compelling story, and her signature mix of infectious enthusiasm and grounded advice, Loz will have you thinking outside the box about how you’re approaching your wellbeing.
