Audio available on Anchor, Breaker, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio.

Dr. Nichole Jensen is a physician and women’s physique competitor having recently won the NPC Natural Pennsylvania Pittsburgh in September 2021.

Dr. Jensen specializes in LIFESTYLE MEDICINE—that is, quality exercise and nutrition—helping patients get off mainstream medications and make lasting changes.

Our client Dana, myself, and possibly a couple other current female clients of ours will be competing at the same show this year in 2022, so I reached out to the overall winner of the Women’s Physique division to ask if she would be so kind as to answer questions from our coaching clients and SuperSet Facebook Community about what it takes to not only compete, but excel as a female bodybuilder.
