You’ve nailed show day - now what? The hard part isn’t the prep, it’s the after.

This week, Chris and Rachel dive deep into reverse dieting – or as they call it, the recovery phase. They unpack what actually happens when the tan fades and hunger hits, and why this stage can make or break your next season.

💬 What you’ll hear:
👉 Why “reverse dieting” isn’t magic – and what the science really says
👉 How fast to raise your calories without wrecking your headspace
👉 When to chill vs when to push for recovery goals
👉 How to handle body image shifts and post-show binges
👉 Why blood work and hormone health belong in every athlete’s plan

If you’re feeling lost, tired, or just “off” after comp season, this one’s your lifeline back to balance.
