In this episode of Women Who, we sit down with Olivia Parker: researcher, health educator, and specialized fitness instructor to explore her evolving journey through Kinesiology, chronic conditions, and women’s health.

Liv shares how her early work with older adults living with chronic illness shaped her holistic approach to movement and well-being. From navigating grad school and fitness coaching during COVID to launching impactful research on endometriosis, she brings thoughtful insights into how we care for women’s bodies, especially when the systems don’t always show up for them.

We unpack the gaps in healthcare, the power of movement as medicine, and how to advocate for yourself or others in the face of chronic pain, misinformation, or stigma. Whether you're in health research, teaching, or just trying to feel more connected to your own body, this episode is packed with grounding wisdom and practical takeaways.

For anyone curious about women's health, chronic pain, behavior change, and building purpose in your work, this one’s for you!
