Dr. Megan Banker: Climber, Mountaineer, Chiropractor, & Advocate

This week I am so excited to talk with rock climber, mountaineer, chiropractor, & advocate Dr. Megan Banker. Dr. Megan Banker is rock climber and mountaineer living in Portland, OR. At her day job, she is a Health At Every Size chiropractor that owns and operates her wellness clinic. She stands for diversity, equity and inclusion in both the outdoor and healthcare industries and aims to bring awareness to inequities in these areas. She is one of the newest ambassadors for Outdoor Research and was on the advisory board for the creation of their new plus and extended size gear that is launching this Fall. She is a co-founder of Climb Big, an initiative to introduce more fat folx into climbing and plans to do more climbing instruction for bigger bodies in the future. She is also an ambassador for PNW Outdoor Women.
