In 2013, after realizing she had gained weight, she discovered her passion for fitness and health.
While living in Cambridge, England, she started working with a CrossFit trainer, which had her go on a 21-day cleanse.
In a week and a half of starting the cleanse, she started sleeping better after suffering from insomnia for years.
Eating clean is a commitment you have to make!
Sade saw some bodybuilders on IG and decided to start competing because she’s someone who needs to work towards a goal.
In April 2015, she competed for the first time and placed 5th out of 300 girls.
Don’t go into bodybuilding with a competitive mindset. Instead, slowly start going to the gym, getting healthy, and then transition into the competitive lifestyle.
When I body build, I eat for a purpose. – Sade

Sade talks about picking the right coach and/or trainer because she now suffers from adrenal fatigue after being told to eat the wrong amounts and types of food.
When choosing a coach/trainer:
1. Make sure the coach is invested in your health. Have a list of questions you ask your personal trainer.
2. Remember nutrition is important.
She talks about starting a health podcast geared towards women competitors, covering financial and emotional health.
