Strong, Plant-Based, & Over 40: Female Bodybuilders Share the Truth About Getting Stage-Ready 🌱 S4 Ep. 1
Coach Tamara Marie sits down with three plant-based athletes — all over 40 — who proved to themselves (and everyone watching) that strong, feminine, and healthy is absolutely possible without meat and without harsh crash diets.
In this episode, Coach Tamara Marie interviews three first-time competitors stepping on bodybuilding stages — plant-based, natural, and stronger than ever.:
👙 Donnetta Moss-Gardner, Age 58, Bikini Competitor (@fitandfiercewithdonnie)
💪🏾 Jovina Clark, Age 46, Figure Competitor (@plantedstrong)
🍑 Miaya Patterson, Age 43, Wellness Competitor
We talk about:
🔥 Deciding to compete for the first time in your 40s and 50s (and shutting down “you’re too old” or “you’ll look manly” comments)
🌿 How they build muscle and hit their protein goals on a vegan / plant-based diet
🥗 Go-to high protein meals they actually eat (from seitan “steak" 🥩to air-fried fava fries 😋🍟)
💪🏾 Turning grief, stress, health scares, and hormone changes into motivation instead of excuses
🏆 What it’s really like getting on stage in bikini, figure, and wellness divisions as natural, plant-based athletes
You do NOT have to be a competitor to get value from this convo.
If you’re 35+ and you want to:
– tighten your waist
– build muscle tone
– feel strong again (without starving or living on a StairMaster)
…this episode is for you.
