KENDALL CALL; Hedonic Eating, Normal vs Optimal Hormones, Leaving Nursing for Functional Coaching

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Kendall Call, born and raised in
Oregon but currently living in Tampa. She was involved in sports
at a very young age and began training with a coach when she was
15. She became a personal trainer while in undergrad and went on
to get her Master's in Nursing from Johns Hopkins while also
starting to online coach as a side hobby. She had planned on
competing in June of 2020 in her first show but it got canceled
due to COVID. A year later, she did an 8 week prep while coaching
herself. She won the overall at her first two shows, and decided
to do Universe three weeks later and earned hoer Pro card!


 


In June of 2023, she quit her full-time nursing job to pursue her
online coaching business after realizing that coaching was her
passion. Kendall wants to bridge the gap between western
medicine, fitness, and functional health.
