MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger
More than 73% of Americans have overweight or obesity, while more than 12 % have food insecurity. America is getting heavier, sicker, and more isolated from each other every day.
Interrupt Hunger’s motto, MOVE EAT GIVE, reflects our belief that virtually every problem in America could be fixed if we took better care of ourselves and took better care of each other.
Welcome to Interrupt Hunger's MOVE EAT GIVE podcast, where we talk with experts in Exercise Is Medicine, Food Is Medicine and Food Insecurity.
And understanding that knowledge isn't always enough to help you lose weight, every other episode showcases someone who's lost at least 10% body weight to share exactly how they did it.
Interrupt Hunger is a 501c3 nonprofit, which helps you lose weight while feeding the hungry. Bring our free 12-Week Weight Loss Challenge and Donate Your Weight program to the places you live, work, and pray. We fund our mission with sales from our MOVE EAT GIVE bracelets and apparel.

4. How I Lost 90 Pounds | Brenda Richan (63 yo)
In this "How I did it..." episode, at 57, Brenda Richan had obesity, was pre-diabetic, and struggled with chronic knee and back pain from her 28-year nursing career. Then she got hit with a kidney cancer diagnosis that became her wake-up call. Instead of being defeated, Brenda got determined.
She walked into a CrossFit gym at 244 lbs using a cane & not knowing where to start. Five years later, the 62-year-old lost 90 pounds, got off her medications, and became a CrossFit coach herself - showing that age is just a number when you have the right mindset.
