as will prep but as actually could could fat loss affect that as well and then in certain cases even individuals who don't compete even individuals who you would say okay well like visually they aren't necessarily low enough body fat to have struggles they also might run into challenges as well and i think that's a misconception um i've definitely seen you talk about like on your stories but i've talked about as well as like you can't pinpoint it as like this was the cause or this you know changed the trajectory but there certainly are risk factors and there are there are factors that are modifiable and some that are not so i would love to kind of toss it to you um on that on that topic because i'm sure you've had um potential mothers future mothers come to you with those same concerns maybe

So like for me, letting letting people into or letting the social media following into my journey with IVF was actually or my journey with trying to conceive was actually very hard for me to do because I knew that it would be pinpointed or I knew that I would be constantly asked to.

if competing is the reason why I can't conceive and I think a lot of people truly like to have an answer to which why they can't conceive they're looking for that answer and so people were then looking to see if I would be quote their answer for that of oh well she used PEDs she competed for 12 years.

And I would actually argue and I've argued this, you know, when I would not argue it, but I've shared this multiple times is that I feel that I actually competed in a more healthy environment for my body actually assisted than unassisted because I started competing at such an early time.

in women going into bodybuilding outside of truly just the bodybuilding division and figure um as a bikini competitor i had eaten sometimes as low as 900 calories for a long period of time and then i didn't know anything about reverse dieting when i first got into the sport so i just assumed that's how i needed to live and eat for the rest of me competing like i It was absolutely wild what I put my body into and through before 2015.

Competing at 2012 was a very different version of Chanel than 2020 competing version of Chanel.
