Welcome back to The Next Level Health and Fitness Podcast! I'm your host, Brad Jensen, and today we have an amazing guest who's here to share her incredible journey with us. Meet Emma Hooker, a certified fitness and nutrition coach who's lost a jaw-dropping 160 pounds! Emma's story is packed with ups, downs, and everything in between.
