164: Ranking Christmas Gifts For Bodybuilders

Welcome back for episode # 25 of BBD with T!

On this week’s podcast Tyarra interviews IFBB bikini athlete, comp prep coach & powerlifting coach Jas Paterson!

Tune into this episode to hear Jas vulnerably share her background story and how she has been able to personally battle and overcome an eating disorder. Jas transparently opens up and speaks about the struggles she's faced in the past with poor body image, a warped relationship with food, and dieting adherence during her bodybuilding journey. She talks about the process she undertook to rise above these challenges with the help of professionals and personal development to now be the woman, coach, and competitor she is today!

This conversation with Jas was emotional, raw and real. I'm sure so many listeners will respect her vulnerability and will be inspired by her determination to compete and coach as an IFBB bikini athlete now that she's been able to do the inner-work and improve her mental health. She truly sets an amazing example for other competitors and her clients!
