PAMELA JOHN; Graves Disease, Grieving, Growth Mindset

Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Pamela John, a certified
personal trainer, strength coach, and nutrition coach, who
started competing in 2012 and earned her Pro card at Masters
Nationals in 2015 and has competed over 50 times! After the birth
of my last daughter in 2000, her body went haywire which
eventually led to a diagnosis of Graves disease. Along the way,
she discovered that no matter where we are in life, most of us
desire to be better than we are right now. Her specialty is
helping women restore their bodies through proper mindset,
improved nutrition, movement and hormonal balance and as a result
they look and feel even better than they ever thought possible!
