Today I speak with Australian IFBB Pro Stephanie Hing. She recently spent 7 years living and working in Los Angeles, but is now back at home in Sydney, Australia. She competed in 2 regional and 3 National shows before getting her pro card in 2020. She works full time as a Senior Product designer. Stephanie talks about the mental barriers she experienced during her first and only national season when she had to put on 4 pounds after previously coming in too lean.

 

After earning her pro card, she realized that she did not have a proper cycle after coming off birth control. After countless doctors visits, tests and money spent on all kinds of supplements, she was diagnosed with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. It took her a year and a half to get her cycle back. 

 

Stephanie shares her journey through this and what it has taught her about herself! You don’t want to miss this interview!

 

Topics covered include:

-struggles with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

-confidence on stage

-dealing with prep goggles

-deciding to stop oral birth control and fixing her hormones

-returning to Australia during COVID

-changing mindset to regain health

-when to embrace the “all or nothing” mindset

-being comfortable with asking questions 

-a reason behind the actions
