With the increase in popularity of bikini, fitness and figure competitions, it is seemingly so that many women are striving to achieve the ideal fitness competitor look. Often portrayed in media and marketing as strong, lean and sexy, these women are the epitome of optimal health and fitness.
However the reality of that couldn’t be further from the truth. Numerous fat loss and comp prep techniques often used by coaches take an immense toll on the body, and have shown to disrupt hormonal health, create poor relationship with foods, and negatively impact the mindset of the female competitor. The worst part of that, is the lie that all this is completely ‘normal’ and should be accepted as part of the journey by the competitor.
It is no wonder that the longevity and passion for the sport of body building is often shortlived, leaving the competitor physiologically damaged and mentally scarred from the ordeal. While getting to such low bodyfat levels on stage is not a representation of optimal health, there are definitely ways in which the prep process can be more conducive to the competitors health, hormonal chemistry and mental outlook. The focus of this lecture is in investigating some common pitfalls in the comp prep industry specific to females.

We’re all familiar with the concept of estrogen, a hormone present in minute quantities in males and much more in females.
Estrogen is the dominant sex hormone in females, responsible for developing the female
form physically from puberty, and is involved in an array of other physiological processes such as the maintenance of healthy skin, bones, cardiovascular health as well as improving strength and muscle mass in females.
Having too little estrogen can have a profound negative impact on the body, as with too
much. While the body aims to keep optimal levels, often this can be disrupted with the
introduction of chemicals called xenoestrogens.
This seminar delves into understanding the impact of xenoestrogens on the body. We will look into what exactly are xenoestrogens, how they disrupt the endocrine system and affect fat storage, and how can we help the body get rid of them more effectively.
Key Takeaways:
1. What are xeno estrogens and how do they impact us physically and disrupt body
composition.
2. Where can they be found
3. Xenoestrogens and detoxification
4. How can we minimize the amount of xenoestrogens in our body
