Is Dr. Michaela Pamaki Natural? A Deep Dive into Her Physique and Hormonal Levels

How is it possible for a woman to achieve shredded levels of body fat while maintaining optimal testosterone levels? In this article, we delve into Coach Greg's analysis of Dr. Michaela Pamaki, examining her physique, hormonal levels, and whether she is indeed a "natty" (natural) athlete.

Introduction

Dr. Michaela Pamaki is a figure pro and bodybuilding coach who has gained considerable attention in the fitness community. Many have questioned whether her impressive physique is the result of natural training or the use of performance-enhancing substances. Coach Greg takes a closer look at her blood work, hormonal levels, and overall health to determine if she is genuinely natural.

Understanding the Analysis

Coach Greg's analysis begins with an examination of Dr. Pamaki's willingness to provide blood work, which is crucial in determining her natty status. Unlike others who have avoided such scrutiny, Dr. Pamaki responded positively, leading Coach Greg to think she is likely natural.

Blood Work Results

Upon receiving Dr. Pamaki's blood work, Coach Greg noted several key findings:

• Estradiol Levels: Her estradiol was recorded at 22, which is considered low, especially since she has admitted to losing her period due to her low-calorie diet.
• Testosterone Levels: Dr. Pamaki's free testosterone was at 5.8, with total testosterone at 44, indicating she is at optimal levels for a natural female.
• Cholesterol Levels: Her cholesterol was found to be normal, which is often disrupted in those abusing steroids.

The Role of DHEA

Coach Greg hypothesizes that Dr. Pamaki may be supplementing with DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), a naturally occurring hormone that can enhance testosterone production, especially in women. He explains:

• DHEA can improve free testosterone levels, particularly in women, without the negative side effects associated with steroids.
• It is important to note that DHEA is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for competitive athletes.

Why DHEA Makes Sense for Dr. Pamaki

Given her low caloric intake and the stress associated with competition prep, it is plausible that Dr. Pamaki has chosen to supplement with DHEA to maintain her testosterone levels. This could explain how she has managed to achieve such an impressive physique while remaining within a natural framework.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while Dr. Michaela Pamaki's physique may raise eyebrows, Coach Greg believes she is likely a "half natty" due to her potential DHEA use. It is essential to understand that while DHEA can enhance performance, it is not considered a steroid. Therefore, athletes need to be cautious about its use, particularly in competitive settings where it may lead to disqualification.

Ultimately, achieving a physique like Dr. Pamaki's requires a combination of genetics, rigorous training, and possibly strategic supplementation. Coach Greg's ongoing analysis and transparency about the process reinforce the need for open discussions about natural vs. enhanced bodybuilding.
