Vladislava Galagan (Kendall Jenner) Opens Up – Advocate Using PEDs in Women’s Bodybuilding
To start, Vladislava Galagan is clear: women in bodybuilding need to use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). In response to an Instagram post, Galagan defended her PED use, saying it helps her ‘level the playing field’ in competitions.
In her first talk on the First Things THRST podcast, Galagan shares advice for women in fitness. She also talks openly about her careful ways to deal with possible side effects from using steroids.
“To compete, well, if you want to just do it for yourself, you don’t need stuff obviously. If you want to compete, well, everybody, men, even people that don’t compete take it so.”
“If you want to do the competitions, yes [you need to use PEDs]” Vladislava Galagan said.
Additionally, Galagan emphasizes that taking breaks is her strategy to avoid PEDs’ undesirable effects. However, she acknowledges dealing with the psychological toll of knowing she won’t maintain the same size when she’s off gear.
“I guess I was lucky [not to have a deep voice],” said Galagan.
“You’re very lucky. I’ve come across a lot of women who do train very hard and they are very big, obviously Dubai, D1 Gym is full of them. But they all have this deep raspy voice. And it’s like whoa. That’s so weird,” said Mike Thurston.
“Maybe because well the steroids, the thing is, when people start taking it, it’s also psychological, you get used to you know being driven, ego, motivation, right? I know this.”
“I do cycles, I’m not on one big cycle all year round. In the beginning, it was really hard to kind of let it go. To have the breaks. Now I have a break.”
Galagan’s Candid Insights on Steroid Effects and Sugar Triggers
Galagan acknowledges that her body looks less pumped without steroids. Furthermore, she discusses how sugar can trigger side effects like bad skin, irrespective of PED use.
“I made my peace with it. I convinced myself that it’s just part of it. It’s part of the journey. So… and without having breaks… I would not look the way I would on my cycle.”
“Now, the skin yeah [it’s clear] but if you eat sugar it doesn’t matter anyways, if you’re on cycles or not, I have these outbreaks from sugar. But I was saying, when you’re on cycle, so the problem right, you ask me about women having deep voices and stuff.
I do breaks. Maybe that’s the secret. I made my peace with you know, that I will not look the same as when I’m on a cycle. When you’re on a cycle you’re always pumped right? The most interesting thing is when now when I’m off the cycle it’s different than the previous times,” she shares.
She points out that readjusting to steroids after a break is not a difficult process.
“It’s not that difficult for me to come back to bounce back when I start the cycle again. So, and yeah, you have always to battle to fight like the only pump you get is when you’re in the gym, when you’re natural, and then it’s gone.”

In unveiling her bodybuilding journey, Vladislava Galagan emphasizes a psychological connection rooted in childhood experiences. Notably, she reveals a scarcity of emotional support from her parents. Consequently, she believes that her pursuit of physical strength compensates for the emotional deficits of her youth.
“Maybe it’s psychological aspects of this, because I had to be strong all my life.”
“Yeah [I don’t want to show I’m weak]. Maybe that’s why I started doing bodybuilding. That’s what my therapist told me.”“For a year [I’ve had the therapist]. They actually told me that it might be that because I was lacking from both sides, mother and father, so that’s my way to combine it.”
“Not love, but time, I think. I think attention, time, so that’s what, yeah so that’s what the therapist told me. That’s my way to kind of combine the feminine and the masculine in one.”
While the use of Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) in bodybuilding and fitness remains contentious, health complications and fatalities have sparked concerns. Moreover, athletes like Kali Muscle, having survived a near-fatal heart attack, actively discourage steroid use. Advocating for safer practices, Kali Muscle contends that his heart attack was avoidable.
In the fitness realm, Vladislava Galagan serves as an inspirational figure. Notably, her openness about her cycles and mental struggles is distinctive, as many athletes avoid such discussions. Additionally, some bodybuilders and fitness influencers falsely claiming to be natural can set unhealthy expectations for followers. To counter this, Galagan sidesteps the issue by consistently maintaining honesty with her audience.
