This week on The Stage Code, we welcome our very first guest — Sophie — for a raw and honest conversation about her 12-year journey to being diagnosed with endometriosis. From getting her period at just 11 years old, dealing with debilitating pain, heavy bleeding, and years of being dismissed, Sophie opens up about what it’s really like navigating women’s health when answers aren’t easy to find.

We dive into the realities of diagnosis, surgery, fertility fears, hormonal contraceptives, and the importance of advocating for yourself when something doesn’t feel right. Plus, we chat about how exercise, lifestyle, and education can play a role in managing symptoms.

As always, we kick things off with our highs, lows, and prep updates — including a quick check-in on prep, health scares, marathon training, and wedding planning.

A vulnerable, educational, and important conversation for every woman to hear. 🎙️💛

This week on The Stage Code, we’re diving into the highs, lows, and emotional rollercoaster that comes with prep and stepping on stage 🖤

Paris gives a full 7-weeks-out prep update — from calorie drops, cardio struggles, pancake bowls, and the devastating loss of honey on her crumpets… to registering for her show, planning all the glam details, and having her bikini custom made by her best friend.

We also get real about the side of bodybuilding that people don’t talk about enough:
– Feeling disappointed after a show
– The pressure around placings
– Why winning isn’t everything
– Not loving your stage look or show-day experience
– The reality that bodybuilding simply isn’t for everyone — and that’s okay

We talk about how subjective bodybuilding really is, why placings can change overnight, and why your “why” behind competing matters so much more than a medal.

Whether you’re deep in prep, thinking about competing, or navigating post-show emotions, this ep is honest, relatable, and a reminder that your worth was never tied to a placing.

• Carb loading, spilling, and how to actually fill out properly
• Why some athletes eat clean… and others are smashing burgers 👀
• The truth about water, sodium, and why less isn’t always better
• The mental side of prep when progress feels slow (but you’re not quitting 💪)

✨ Reminder: your peak week is YOUR peak week. No comparisons.

Welcome back to The Stage Code.

Welcome back to another episode of The Stage Code.

This week, we’re diving into a very controversial topic — the rise of “SkinnyTok”, peptides, and the increasing normalization of weight loss drugs like Ozempic.

First we dive into our usual highs & lows (prep updates, blocked noses & business wins)

Then we get into the real conversation…

🚨 Peptides, GLP-1s & online influence

• Why these drugs are being pushed like skincare products
• The dangers of getting advice from TikTok
• What no one is saying about long-term effects

🏆 Natural vs Enhanced Bodybuilding

• Competing “natural” vs actually being natural
• Why this is a huge issue in the industry right now
• The ethics, the risks, and the reality behind the scenes

💬 Our honest take
We’re not here to judge—but we are here to be real.
If you’re considering shortcuts, this is the episode you need to hear first.

At the end of the day:
Strong > Skinny. Always.
