Today I speak with IFBB Pro Kendall Call, born and raised in Oregon but currently living in Tampa. She was involved in sports at a very young age and began training with a coach when she was 15. She became a personal trainer while in undergrad and went on to get her Master's in Nursing from Johns Hopkins while also starting to online coach as a side hobby. She had planned on competing in June of 2020 in her first show but it got canceled due to COVID. A year later, she did an 8 week prep while coaching herself. She won the overall at her first two shows, and decided to do Universe three weeks later and earned hoer Pro card!   In June of 2023, she quit her full-time nursing job to pursue her online coaching business after realizing that coaching was her passion. Kendall wants to bridge the gap between western medicine, fitness, and functional health.   TOPICS COVERED -struggles with confidence and depression -disordered eating patterns -fast road to Pro -unconventional prep -taking a long off season -struggles with reverse diets -habits for success in every season -being aware of thoughts -prioritizing health & hormones  -understanding lab work -transitioning from nurse to coach   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html CONNECT WITH KENDALL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kendall.ifbbpro/ Coaching: https://www.firstcallcoaching.net/ TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 6:35 prepping with a support system 12:04 applying the knowledge she gained 14:55 improving posing and working with a coach 16:40 intentions with starting to compete 19:43 approach while working with a coach 24:10 Pro debut and a long off season 28:19 physiological changed in reverse 35:55 establishing non-negotiable habits 38:30 struggles with disordered eating 44:47 focuses in improvement season 48:20 normal versus optimal function  52:25 leaving nursing for functional medicine 56:40 going off birth control 61:39 deciding on focus on coaching 66:50 goals as a Pro 68:35 advice for competitors   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE
