In this episode, host Celeste Rains-Turk speaks with Laurin Conlin, athlete and coach who has a Masters Degree in Exercise Science. You will probably recognize her name and her voice as she is the Cohost of Redefine Healthy Radio, Team Locofit Roundtable, and the Unglamorous Life Podcast. She founded Team LocoFit to provide quality coaching that puts the clients long term interests first with an educated, evidence based approach to all matters.

Laurin talks to us about the research she conducted while earning her Masters Degree as well as her continued research.

We talk about the influence of genetics in physique sports, how important the time post-show is and the way your genetics can influence what happens post-show, and overall mindset with competing.

Laurin and I even get a little heated about all the people who say bikini is very attainable and anyone can do it.
