The ProPhysique Code

In this episode, our prep coaches dive into a topic they've been discussing frequently with athletes: how to know when it's the right time to make the switch from Bikini to Fit Model. As the Bikini division has evolved significantly over the past five years, many athletes who may have once been ideal Bikini competitors now align more closely with the Fit Model criteria. The coaches share how they navigate these conversations with their athletes, the factors they consider when making recommendations, and how to determine which division best suits an athlete's physique, goals, and long-term potential.

This is an all about CARBS episode!  Carbs have been unfairly labeled as the bad guy for years, but in this episode, we're breaking down the myths, exploring where our beliefs about carbohydrates come from, and discussing why they play an important role in fueling our bodies. Rather than fearing carbs or following nutrition trends, we'll talk about creating awareness around how carbohydrates affect you and why nutrition should be individualized, not one-size-fits-all. Replacing food fear with curiosity, education, awareness and intention.
