This week, we’re joined by NPC figure competitor Madison, who gets real about her bodybuilding journey—from a terrible first prep experience to embracing full transparency in a sport that often hides the truth.

Madison opens up about her use of PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs) and why she believes it’s crucial for women in bodybuilding to have honest conversations around it. We also dive into her inspiration for becoming a competitor, how she makes vegan gains, and what it really takes to build muscle ethically and powerfully on plants.

Whether you’re plant-based, fitness-curious, or deep in the competition world, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
