Do you have dream body goals? Have you tried crazy dieting and workout plans? Have you tried touring with your partner, and what was your experience? Natalie Cuomo has done it all, and in this episode of “Models Diet,” she takes us on a journey through her fascinating lifestyle and plans toward her dream body goals before her wedding. She discusses her MadFit workout obsession, preference for private workout struggles, and craziest workout challenge, a grueling 30 days of hot yoga. In the conversation, Natalie also opens up about her struggles with confidence and how she overcame them, as well as her unique experience of touring with her fiance, highlighting the positive impact on their mental health. 

Natalie Cuomo is a comedian, gamer, and fiance. She was born and raised in Queens, NY, and has quickly risen within the ranks of standup comedy in New York City.
