"Your scars don’t define you, they reveal your strength".
My Story
Anita Arredondo is a Certified Nutrition Coach, Menopause Coach, Holistic Nutrition Consultant, and the powerhouse behind Be Healthy Weight Loss and Wellness in Tampa, Florida. With degrees in Business and Marketing, she combines science-backed strategies with a deeply personal touch to help women take control of their health, mindset, and lives.
Her journey has been anything but ordinary. A former Super Bowl halftime dancer and a survivor of both melanoma and breast cancer, Anita brings unmatched resilience and empathy to her practice. After a double mastectomy, she courageously participated in The
Affirmations Project, having her body painted to send a powerful message: your scars don’t define you.
Rebuilding her business after it was destroyed by a hurricane was another turning point. But instead of giving up, Anita doubled down on her mission. Today, she helps women across stages of life embrace healing, reject toxic diet culture, and learn to live, not just lose weight.
A mother, grandmother, best-selling author, and local leader (named “40 Women to Watch” by Tampa Bay Women’s Professional Network), she stands as a beacon of hope for anyone ready to rewrite their health story.
What makes her the happiest?
Watching the women she helps grow stronger, healthier and more confident makes her the happiest. But her greatest joy comes from her family, her loving husband, two daughters, and grandchildren. She also finds happiness in life’s little pleasures: music, feel-good movies, poolside conversations, and laughter with close friends.
What advice would she give her younger self.
Stop waiting. You are worthy now. Don’t let fear stop you from becoming who you’re meant to be.
