Research shows over 50% of competitive bodybuilders report body dissatisfaction - and it's strongly linked to disordered eating symptoms.

So yeah… we're starting there.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the real truth about reverse dieting - what it actually is, when it works, when it absolutely does NOT work, and the mistakes I see coaches making over and over again.

I'm a retired competitor, an IFBB Pro, and I've been in this world since 2010. I've hired coaches. I've coached competitors. I've watched women completely lose themselves post-show. And I've also BEEN that girl trying to figure out who the hell I was without a competition on the calendar.

Because listen… bodybuilding is not real life. And you can still feel hot, strong, and confident without being stage lean.
