In this episode, I talk to Dr. Priya Bhave Chittavar. Dr Priya is a Gynecologist from Bhopal who is also an Ironman finisher who lost nearly 20 kgs during her fitness journey. Ironman baby maker of India as she is referred to, says she has taken up triathlon to be a better doctor for her patients.

About the Podcast

The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
