Helen Ortiz @IFBBProHelenOrtiz opens up like never before—sharing one of the most shocking and inspiring life stories we've ever heard. Born in the third-world conditions of Guatemala, Helen endured unthinkable trauma: a deranged, alcoholic father who violated her, witnessing brutal murders as a child, and surviving a corrupt legal system that offered no protection. Her own son was kidnapped and held hostage at just 8 years old.
Desperate for freedom, Helen escaped Guatemala by riding La Bestia—the infamous “Train of Death”—into the U.S., only to be human trafficked in California for 9 harrowing months. She eventually fought for and gained her U.S. citizenship, but her journey didn’t end there.
Helen dives into her obsessive passion for bodybuilding, a rocky marriage, and surviving near-stage 3 stomach cancer—only to find out months later the cancer had spread to her lungs as she entered menopause. At her lowest moment, on the verge of ending it all, she received a powerful sign from God that turned everything around.
Now a well decorated bodybuilding gold medalist , speaker, realtor and founder of Healing With Helen, her story is a testament to unimaginable resilience and divine redemption. She even shares a lighthearted moment about Eddie Murphy flirting with her—something she hilariously didn’t realize at the time.
This is the raw, unfiltered story of a woman who refused to stay broken.
You won’t forget Helen Ortiz.
