Dr. Oz: One woman's extreme weight loss on the keto dietWe commented on Ryan's considerable stage presence and asked her how she looked so poised on-camera. Here is part of her response:
This show was my third time on national TV, and I can tell you it's nerve wracking every single time. However, I push through because I care so much about this movement, the people's lives it's changing and the hope that's spread. Public speaking in general has always been a fear of mine... To deal with anxiety I often do deep breathing exercises, go for walks, and reread a lot of Brené Browns books about vulnerability, being brave and showing up for life!
At the end of the day, I'm just so incredibly thankful to be a part of reaching so many people who may be struggling like I have. To give someone hope who feels like they've tried it all and can't ever seem to lose weight or get healthier. To show people that this is a livable, approachable and maintainable lifestyle that has the potential to make a huge impact in the obesity epidemic.
