PER CURIAM.
Sharee Harrell appeals following the district court’s1 affirmance of a decision
denying her disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. We
agree with the district court that substantial evidence in the record as a whole
supports the Commissioner’s decision. See Swink v. Saul, 931 F.3d 765, 769 (8th
Cir. 2019) (de novo review). Specifically, we defer to the ALJ’s credibility
determination, see id. at 771 (this court will not substitute its opinion for ALJ’s, who
is in better position to gauge credibility and resolve conflicting evidence); and we
find that Harrell did not meet her burden of demonstrating more limitations than those
included in the ALJ’s residual functional capacity (RFC) determination, see Perks v.
Astrue, 687 F.3d 1086, 1092 (8th Cir. 2012) (burden of persuasion to demonstrate
RFC and prove disability remains on claimant). The judgment is affirmed.
