The iconic fitness model and creator of The Fighter Diet reflects on her two-decade anniversary of moving heavy iron. She goes deep into her history, her recent struggles with injury, how she uses pot for recovery, and far more.

Highlights:

- Her first time going to the weight room, and the day she decided to become a bodybuilder (they're the same day)

- Her long journey to find the right way to eat

- How bodybuilding broke her heart

- "So, I decided I wanted to be like a Jack LaLanne, but in female form."

- "I like bodybuilding because you can't just buy it. And if you buy it you're going to lose it fast."

- Why bodybuilding is "the perfect anti-aging routine"

- Her 15-year buildup to a recent hamstring injury

- Why she is wearing her injury on her sleeve and discussing it constantly

- The challenges and fear that come with being on the shelf

- "I feel bad for my body in hindsight, like, "I had you lift 250 lbs. deadlifts with a torn hamstring. I'm sorry. I didn't know. You should have told me!"

- Why you won't find any naked pictures of her online

- Why she stages 12-week challenges, even though she knows you can't totally transform in that time

- Her thoughts on protein, carbs, and fasting

- The difference between cheats and treats

- How she became a believer in THC and pot for fit people

- How she controls her pot use, and keeps it in perspective
