Really Healthy — Fitness & Nutrition
Really Healthy

Really Healthy is a show about how to find real health in the real world. It highlights fun, doable ways to improve your health through small and simple changes. There are no tricks, gimmicks or products to buy. The hosts, Scott Mitchell and Melanie Douglass discuss the hottest health trends, tackle tough questions, play games for a few laughs and issue weekly health challenges that you and your family can implement for lasting better health. Scott, former NFL and University of Utah quarterback, was once a contestant on The Biggest Loser. He lost 126 pounds, but it all came back and now he is determined to find a way to keep it off while still living his busy life. Melanie, a registered dietician and personal trainer for 20+ years (and busy mother of four!) is here to help Scott (and all of you) find health solutions that work. Anyone can participate. For free. It just takes a commitment to real health and a willingness to try new, simple things. Find us on Facebook or Instagram to join the movement.
