It is our thrill to present our conversation with Dr. Natasha Barnes, an accomplished lifter, climber, and rehab coach. We have been fans of Natasha’s for a long time so you can imagine our delight when we learned she is a MFS listener! Our conversation with Natasha covers everything from her professional journey from becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic to her current practice, that she describes as more of a coaching relationship. We talk about her career as a professional climber, how she added strength training to her routine and goals, promoting strength in the climbing world, #strongernotsmaller, and her perspective on “becoming an athlete first.” We’re so excited to have had this strong multi-sport role model on the podcast!

Katherine offers us a suggested path toward a more radical mindset, tracing through popular body-positive movements and landing on some practical suggestions for listeners.

We sit down with Jordan Feigenbaum from Barbell Medicine to talk about his recent article, ‘Shades of Gray: Sex, Gender, and Fairness in Sport,” in which he busts the myth of “biological sex,” describes the relative recency of womens sports, gives a history of gender elegibility testing in sport, and points out where the current rulebooks fail. In short, this issue is full of nuance, and we get into it all!

We discussed the unfortunate death of Kira Johnson during childbirth, the daughter of Judge Hatchett. This is what has grown from that situation, and we’re sorry for getting the name incorrect in the episode!
4Kira4Moms was founded with the mission to advocate for improved maternal health policies and regulations, to educate the public about the impact of maternal mortality in communities, provide peer support to the victim’s family, friends, and promote the idea that maternal mortality should be viewed,and discussed as a human rights issue. Charles Johnson, founder and 4kira4moms worked relentlessly with congress to pass the preventing maternal death act (H.R.1318). This milestone legislation is the first ever to combat the maternal death crisis in the United States. The bill was signed into law December 21, 2018 and dedicated to TGIF memory of Kira Dixon Johnson.

On this week’s episode, we start with a quick discussion of USAPL’s ban on trans athletes, and give you some action items to help make your voice heard. Then we get into GPP: what is it, why do we want it, how do we program for it. Everybody’s training gets into a slump now and then - adding in conditioning and bodybuilding movements is our favorite way to stay entertained and happy under the bar.
