Back to the Gym (and the Mats) After Breast Implants, Nutrition Struggles & 90s Country Vibes — with Eli Coffey
from Chokeholds and Chill Podcast · host chokeholdsandchillpod
When Jenn first signed up for Eli Coffey’s nutrition and training program, she wasn’t prepared for how much it would challenge her—or change her. From learning to fuel her body with intention to navigating insecurities and mindset shifts, it wasn’t just about macros and muscle—it was about trust, growth, and coming back stronger after setbacks (including surgery). In this episode, Jenn sits down with Eli to talk about it all: ➡️ The hard parts of starting a structured nutrition plan ➡️ Under-eating vs. overeating in athletes ➡️ Coming back from breast implant surgery ➡️ What makes training different for Jiu Jitsu athletes vs. physique athletes ➡️ The mental side of transformation ➡️ Eli’s long martial arts background and love for 90s country music 🎶 If you’re an athlete returning from surgery, struggling with food, or just want to feel stronger on and off the mats—this conversation is for you.
