11. THE BARBELL IS GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH


Listen Later

Join me and guest, Tara Kittrell, for a conversation about how strength training, particularly powerlifting, is good for your mental health and why. 

Tara is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2009 and Licensed Professional Counselor since 1998. Since 2011, Tara has worked at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock in college mental health providing psychiatric evaluations, medicine management and counseling. Prior to joining the UA mental health team, Tara worked for an outpatient clinic in the department of psychiatry at a teaching hospital, she was a clinical instructor, an ED nurse, a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner), a therapeutic foster care caseworker, and a Mobile Crisis Counselor with a police department. Her focus is on trying to empower others through a holistic approach that focuses not only on the diagnosis, but also the behavioral, dimensional, and life story perspectives.

Tara and I met at the North American Powerlifting Championships in St Louis, MO in 2022. We happened to be in the same weight and Masters classes as well as the same flight and got to know each other throughout the day as well as cheer each other on.
