Colm Hayes: Primarily, I want to cultivate healthier habits. I see this as a chance to learn about nutrition, discover new ways to stay active, and ultimately make sustainable lifestyle changes. As a radio personality,I have a platform to possibly inspire others,so leading by example feels crucial.
Archyde: We learned that this program draws inspiration from successful weight-loss and wellness programs. What appeals to you about this particular approach?
**Colm Hayes:** What resonates with me is the focus on long-term change,not just swift fixes. Programs like “Operation Transformation” have demonstrated that real, lasting transformation requires a commitment to overall well-being – nutrition, fitness, and mindset.
