Hilary Tran is one of the most unfiltered and unapologetically real voices in American weightlifting. She's competed in Weightlifting for 10+ years, chased clean & jerks over 110kg, gone viral for her China youth camp series and rehabbed not one, but two elbow dislocations. She’s also juggled life as a corporate professional, world traveler, and controversially had a failed drug test in 2021. Through it all, she’s still standing—and she’s here to talk about a happy, healthy life with us today.

What happens when you chase world-class performance… while living completely outside the “ideal athlete” box? In this episode of the Happy Healthy Human Podcast, we sit down with Hilary Tran (@babyhills) — a weightlifter, world traveler, corporate hustler, and viral voice in the sport. Hilary opens up about everything from dislocating both elbows and navigating a public drug suspension, to the joy and chaos of training in China and competing at a high level without a “perfect” routine. 💬 We talk:

• Her viral China youth camp videos
• What Chinese weightlifters actually eat
• How she balances work and training across continents
• What stress management really looks like in sport
• Why “Happiness is the secret to recovery”

🎧 Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or just trying to hold together life and training—this one will hit deep. 📍 Follow Hilary: @babyhills
