Welcome back for episode 188 of The Bodybuilding Dietitians Podcast!
On this week's episode Tyarra and Jack get raw, honest, and a bit vulnerable. They open up about the biggest lessons bodybuilding has taught them so far during their time as competitors and coaches, and touch on some sensitive topics that they've never spoken about in depth before on the podcast. Upon reflection, every experience they've had has ultimately lead to the coaches, athletes, and people that they are today! We hope you enjoy this one.
