FROM BURNOUT TO BALANCE: A COACHING JOURNEY BACK TO HEALTH & PHYSIQUE PROGRESS WITH IFBB PRO KARLEN CROUCH | EP. 165
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by my client IFBB Pro Karlen Crouch to walk you through her journey from burnout to balance.
After years of contest prep, chronic dieting and getting stage-lean year after year, Karlen came to me in a state of severe metabolic adaptation, hormonal disruption and adrenal dysfunction.
Together, we took a health-first, periodized approach to restore her physiology and today, at 41, she’s in the best shape of her life both physically and hormonally.
We dive into the toll of low energy availability, the importance of strategic recovery phases, the power of maintenance and how a well-executed Fat Loss Phase after restoring health can lead to lasting results.
