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
