Whatever it takes…..

Our guest on this weeks show is Chantea Goetz. Chantea is the Director of Cognitive Performance at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics (F.I.T.). Chantea Goetz has a Bachelors of Science in Sports Management from the University of Tampa, Masters Degree in Sport Psychology and currently working on her PhD in applied psychophysiology. To add more to her plate, she not only dedicates much time as a volunteer for various activities but is a mom of three (10, 5, 3).

Chantea has for two decades now been looking at womens fitness magazines in awe of the women in them. She reads their background stories, see how busy their lives are, and historically has left her thoughts as, “what if”?

Over the past year, Chantea has decided to make a bucket list of things she feels she would like to accomplish. Regarding the aspect of fitness, Chantea decided to get herself into shape to do well on stage in an NPC figure competition.

This was no easy task. Like most girls/ women, Chantea has struggled with avoiding nutrition and processed foods and being consistent in the gym. Competing in a figure competition would require her to be advanced in both of these aspects.

If anyone decides to take on a monumental task, they often get running hard out of the gates. They are motivated. They are inspired. They are two weeks away at most from burnout and quitting.

In order to ensure she did everything right, Chantea enrolled the help of world class strength and conditioning coach and chiropractic board certified mad scientist, Jim Goetz.

Jim Goetz has had experience with a wide variety of championship professional athletes. Chanteas program would consist of habit forming activities. It is unrealistic to think someone who has historically worked out off and on for weeks to months then stops for twice the duration would be able to commit 3 hours per day 6 days per week and an active recovery seventh- for an entire year.

The program began as five minutes per day with simple calisthenics only. Nutritionally she eliminated sugar, bread, and pasta. She found convenient replacements that she enjoys daily.

Jim Goetz has utilized top strength and conditioning techniques such as daily undulating periodization, blood flow occlusion training, high intensity interval sessions (WODS), to ensure optimal efficiency of time under tension principles to both increase musculature and burn body fat.

To burn body fat, Chantea remained mostly ketogenic for the duration of the year. This is a new paradigm in the world of body building that most body builders would argue with. However, this nutritional lifestyle not only improved endurance but also helped Chantea to hip thrust 405 lbs the day before competition at the end of peak week (the time when athletes are depleted of calories and water). This hip thruster can be found on the @biohackhumans Instagram page.

Chantea also biohacked her body using intermittent fasting (eating during an 8 hour window) to help increase growth hormone levels to aid in recovery as well as cold treatments (increase brown fat thermogenesis) and body fat laser treatments (at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics). She also employed some of the top clinicians and physiologists around to keep her body functionised.

Chantea literally biohacked her body from mom of three bod to figure model body. Not only did it change her physically but it also changed her mentally as she had to implore many cognitive techniques to remain mindful and lower her stress levels. Time management was also key. To workout twice each day for around three hours total plus eat right throughout the day requires careful strategy, which Chantea was successful with.

Chantea’s supplement regemine consisted of a creatine HCL, krill, taurine, high quality grass fed whey, bovine and exogenous ketones.

Chantea continuously checked in with her coach on progression and mindfulness each and every day. In the end, Chantea stated while it was literally the toughest journey she has had in her life, it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Chantea believes anyone can do what she did. Life always gets in the way if you let it. Full time employment, three young children, a PhD and the other usual unexpected events will get in the way of goals if you let them. With a proper support system in place and clearly defined goals, a step by step plan that one is accountable to on a daily basis- anyone can achieve their goals. An individual will need to develop excellent time management skills but in the end, the only one stopping themselves from achieving their goals is themselves.

It’s not about being perfect each day. It’s about being better than you were the day before. That is progression.

Chantea plans to continue to compete and drive herself to earn an IFBB pro card.
