Inspiration for today's episode came from this quote -

"We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change." - Sheryl Sandberg

Do you ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes of bodybuilding competitions? Maybe you've heard whispers of the extreme measures athletes take to maintain those chiseled physiques, but you're not sure what to believe. In this episode, as a former bodybuilding champion, I'm peeling back the curtain to reveal the harsh realities of the industry.

This episode is for you if you're curious about the truths often overshadowed by sparkling trophies and perfect tans or are considering stepping into the world of competitive bodybuilding and want to make informed decisions. Join me as we dive into a world where determination is as prized as it is potentially detrimental, and learn how to navigate it with your well-being intact.

In this episode, you will:

  1. Gain insight with my behind-the-scenes look at the competitive world of bodybuilding
  2. Hear about the less glamorous aspects of bodybuilding, including the pressures and unhealthy practices that competitors face
  3. Realize the lack of transparency and accountability affecting competitors
