Welcome back to The Pulse of the Midwest—a mini-series on The Eric Mueller Show spotlighting elite creators and changemakers rising straight out of the heartland.
In Episode 2, we sit down with powerhouse fitness and nutrition expert Vusa Bentley, whose mission blends physical endurance with purpose-driven action.
From Navy SEAL-inspired workouts to raising money across all 50 states, Vusa is redefining what it means to push limits from the inside out. Her “United We Plank” tour isn’t just about holding a world-record plank. It’s about creating space for growth, community, and personal transformation.
Certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Vusa combines deep emotional resilience work with a mind-body-soul approach through her FitNut program. Whether she’s speaking to organizations, training clients, or raising two incredible boys, Vusa leads with strength, presence, and purpose.
This is a conversation about finding your “why,” honoring your body, and living with fierce intentionality. Tap in, because the Midwest is showing up strong, and this story will move you.
