E42: Rolling into Bodybuilding with Marie

Disabled Girls Who Lift

On this episode, we sit down with Marie (@marie.pontini) from Canada to discuss all things multiple sclerosis, ehlers danlos syndrome, gastroparesis, and bodybuilding. Fitness and acceptance have played a huge role in Marie’s management of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, both physical and cognitive. Also, this episode serves as another reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist! Normalize using mobility aids whenever or however your body needs it. Mentioned: TNT competition in Canada (http://www.tntmuscle.ca/), Elemental nutrition Vivonex® RTF to treat gastroparesis. Host for this episode: Marcia Darbouze (@thatdoc.marcia), Marybeth Baluyot (@merrbertt) A message from DGWL: We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
