Bernie Salazar, M.Ed.
Edutainer and Personal Growth Partner“Bernie” Bernardo Salazar is a loser! After a decade of eating his way to illness while his brother ran marathons, he decided having a cupcake named after him would not go down as his greatest life accomplishment. He was fortunate enough to be chosen as a contestant for NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”, where he took home the prize for most weight loss at home – in the real world! Bernie shed an amazing 130 pounds. He attributes losing nearly 46% of his body weight to four personal principals: motivation, information, perspiration and most importantly, self-appreciation”. Realizing that his experience on “The Ranch” saved his life, he is now dedicated to sharing his perspectives on wellness with others so “we can all get healthy together”. Now a marathoner, Bernie stays fit by “playing more” and participating in dozens of races a year. He received a Masters degree in Education from the University of Illinois at Chicago and currently resides in Pleasant Hills, California.
