In this episode of Chokeholds & Chill, Jenn and Mallory sit down with Dr. Meagan Jimenez—orthopedic surgeon, U.S. Army Major, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt. Known as “Doctor Jiu Jitsu,” Dr. Jimenez brings a unique blend of medical expertise and martial arts mastery to the conversation.
From her early days balancing orthopedic surgery residency with Jiu Jitsu training, to her first deployment with the US Army coming this June, Dr. Jimenez shares her journey of resilience and dedication. As the first Latina and osteopathic-trained orthopedic surgeon to join the Women Orthopedist Global Outreach (WOGO) team, she discusses her commitment to empowering women globally through physical and intellectual means.
In this episode, we delve into:
• The intersection of orthopedic surgery and Jiu Jitsu
• Strategies for injury prevention and recovery tailored for grapplers
• The importance of mental strength and resilience in both medicine and martial arts
• Her upcoming book, Dr. Jiu Jitsu: A Combat Athlete’s Guide to Mental Strength and Physical Resilience, set to release in 2026
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a medical professional, or someone navigating the challenges of balancing multiple passions, Dr. Jimenez offers invaluable insights into achieving peak performance and living a fulfilled life.
