In this episode of Heal Without Harm, we sit down with Mai Han Mijares—a powerhouse mom, nurse, coach, and multi-time Strongman and Powerlifting national/world champion. Her story? Wild. After being told she needed knee surgery and struggling to box squat just 135 pounds in pain, Mai took a different path. She didn’t just recover—she got stronger than ever and now squats nearly 3x her bodyweight, without pain and without more procedures.


Mai shares how she navigated the traditional healthcare system, why she started questioning mainstream medicine, and how she used movement, mindset, and muscle to rebuild herself into a record-breaking athlete. From being a full-time nurse to co-owning Top Crop Barbell in Wichita, Kansas, her life is proof that you don’t need to be broken just because the system says so.

🎧 In this episode, we dive into:

  • Why surgery isn’t always the answer to pain

  • How Mai rebuilt her strength after being told to stop lifting

  • The pillars of longevity she prioritizes every day

  • Advice for women who want to start strength training but don’t know where to begin

  • A myth about exercise that needs to die

Whether you're in pain, plateaued, or just looking for a better way to heal—this episode is for you
