Confessions of a Bikini Pro


May 27, 2022

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Milene Lingiardi, a full time civil engineer who works with renewable energy and recently had her pro debut at Golden State Pro in Sacramento, CA. Originally from Brazil, she started lifting in her first year of college in 2009, and went into her first bodybuilding competition in the end of 2019. She started following a plant-based diet in January of 2021 after watching the documentary The Game Changers and have not looked back since then.

Milene talks about using both positive and negative experiences as learning opportunities and how that has helped her all through life. She talks about the benefits of taking a more flexible approach and how that can help with stress levels. We hear why Milene switched to a plant-based diet and how it is working for her.

Milene shares so many lessons. You don’t want to miss this interview!
