from Ripped Open · host Karina Ripps

In this episode, I’m joined by Kendra Lahue - a strength & nutrition coach for former athletes rebuilding their body, strength, and confidence.As a former college athlete herself, we dive into the phase of life that no one prepares you for when you’re in your adult life.Your sport ends, the structure disappears, and suddenly:-you’re training hard…but not seeing it-you don’t feel like yourself in your body-and nothing is really *CLICKING* the way it used toThis conversation goes way deeper than workouts.We get into:-why so many former athletes feel off after sports (even years later)-the all-in / all-out cycle with training and nutrition-why “just working out” doesn’t fix the problem-and what it actually looks like to rebuild an athletic body in this phase of lifeIf you’ve ever thought: “I don’t feel like myself anymore” or “I know how to work hard…so why isn’t this working?” This episode is going to hit!⬇️ CONNECT WITH KARINA:Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ripps_ontherun/⁠⁠Work With Karina: https://linktr.ee/ripps_ontherun
