KATHY SEITZ

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Kathy Seitz, a lifetime athlete who
is now a physician assistant where she works in surgery. She
earned her pro car ant NPC Universe and works as an online
lifestyle and posing coach. Kathy played Division III softball
during college which always put exercise and competition in her
forefront. Her sophomore year of college, she began to struggle
with disorder eating and overexercising. After her coach
approached her about it, she decided she needed to step away from
softball to focus on her studies and having a healthy body. She
fell in love with the weight room as she started to see how food
fail her body to grow stronger.


 


Kathy began to use counting macros to experiment with what foods
fuel her body best. Counting macros gave her the freedom and
structure to really learn how different foods affected her and
how she could best eat for success, mentally, physically, and
emotionally. She believes it is important to understand why your
are feeling certain feelings, and what they can lead to.
Bodybuilding isn’t the healthiest sport, so understanding
different feelings can lead to peace throughout he process.


 


Kathy shares what it’s like to work as a physicians assistant,
specializing in surgery. She tells us about why she chose
orthopedics and why the OR feels like home. She receives so much
support from her co-workers. They have also become interested in
bodybuilding as a sport and the prep lifestyle.


Listen in as Kathy shares her incredible story of resilience and
self-discovery!
