Leanna Garcia

Spanish-Canadian Bobsleigh Pilot

My journey with sport started when I was about 14 years old. I fell in love with track and field and went on to compete for over 10 years in shot put, discus and hammer throw – setting multiple high school and city records. I continued to compete throughout University on scholarship, but started to struggle with my performance. In my second year of University my health was a bit up and down and I experienced a lot of alarming symptoms like chronic fatigue and hair loss. I was diagnosed with PCOS soon after.

Once graduated from University I continued on with my athletic career by representing Team Canada as a bobsleigh brake woman in 2019. Unfortunately due to health issues and a surgery I had to take time from sport. I did a deep dive into my health and worked on addressing the root cause of my PCOS, which is when I discovered CanPrev. Taking a holistic approach to my health changed my life and I’m so happy to say that I no longer struggle with PCOS and was able to return to competing in sport at a professional level. I competed on the world stage for Team Canada for several years before changing nations to create the Spanish bobsleigh team and compete as a pilot. My mission is to create more opportunities for women in sport, while also being an advocate for women’s health.

I aspire to qualify for the 2026 Olympic Games where I will be the first woman to represent Spain in bobsleigh. I am also back in school studying Holistic Nutrition and hope to have a career helping female athletes maintain healthy hormonal balance and fuel optimally.

Off the Clock

I'm quite busy with bobsleigh and school. In my spare time I allow myself to relax and recharge. Spend time in nature or cook a nice meal.

Formulas I reach for...

Magnesium Bis-Glycinate
I've always considered myself a poor sleeper. Almost everyone in my family is. It took me forever to fall asleep and I'd always be up at 3am. The first time I tried CanPrev's magnesium I was asleep within a normal amount of time and slept through the whole night. I was almost confused at how that could possibly happen after just one use. CanPrev's magnesium will forever be a staple in my routine.

Adrenal Chill
I started taking Adrenal Chill when I was trying to sort out my health issues around PCOS. It was recommended that I take it throughout my day to help with my body's overactive stress response and I found that it made a huge difference. Fast forward to now - bobsleigh is an incredibly stressful sport in general but also on your nervous system. I started to notice that I was feeling trapped in a fight or flight state for hours after my training days. Adrenal Chill made its way back into my stack and I take it everyday after training to make sure that I can recover and be ready for my next session!
