Dr. Megan Banker is a plus-size outdoor adventurer and chiropractor on a mission to inspire and empower people to step into their power and live without limits. 

<div>Megan in her own words:</div> <div> </div> <div>“I’m Megan (she/her) and I live in Portland, OR. I’m on a mission to inspire people to live their life without limits. I want to show people that you can do, be and live however you want AND that you can change your mind about what that means any time you want. Your mind has the power to climb whatever mountains your facing and I’m here to help guide you.</div> <div> </div> <div>I fell in love with rock and mountain climbing 4 years ago and struggled to find my place at first. Instagram played a huge role in helping me step into my power when I started following other plus size adventurers. I want to increase representation of plus size people in the outdoors, especially in leadership/guide roles. I want to see more people who look like me in marketing from outdoor gear companies. And I REALLY want to get better technical gear for bigger bodies so we can keep doing all the things outside safely (and even fashionably? What a dream).”</div> <div> </div> <div>Dr. Megan Banker practices from a Health at Every Size model meaning she teaches her patients how to improve their health without focusing on weight. Megan is a co-founder of Climb Big, an initiative to increase representation of plus size rock climbers.</div> <div> </div> <div>“My body is not an object for your actions or feelings to be directed.</div> <div>My body is not a thing that receives action or inaction.</div> <div>It does not exist for your fantasy, ridicule, attitudes, judgements, lust, admiration or hatred.</div> <div>My body is a subject. It is. It does. It moves. It breathes. It experiences. It loves. It is so much more than an object.</div> <div>My body is a subject.”</div> <div>- Shared by Megan on IG - 3rd April 2021.</div> <div> </div> <div>Content Warning: We talk about bullying and dieting at a young age.</div> <div> </div> <div>New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out. </div> <d
