Episode 203: Six-Time Boston Marathoner and Menopausal Specialist, Dr. Benita Stephens

Run Farther & Faster — The Podcast with Coaches Lisa Levin and Julie Sapper

We are so thrilled to welcome six-time Boston Marathoner and Six Star Finisher, Dr. Benita Stephens, who will be running her seventh Boston Marathon in just a few weeks. This year, Dr. Stephens is honored to be running the Boston Marathon with Team Bevans, a team in which members are selected annually to honor the accomplishments and legacy of Marilyn Bevans, the first U.S. born African American woman to run a sub-3-hour marathon and medal at the Boston Marathon. In addition to being an accomplished runner, Dr. Stephens is the founder of Ciao Bella Medical Center and Spa, a gynecology center in Newnan, Georgia, that specializes in women's health care from conception to menopause. Dr. Stephens is a Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and a member of the North American Menopause Society. In this episode we talk all things Boston and women's health, along with tips for managing a busy career with training and much more. We learned so much from this conversation and appreciate Dr. Stephens's perspective and wisdom. Dr. Stephens can be found on Instagram @drciaobella. For those who will be in Boston over marathon weekend, please join us on Sunday, April 14th for our shakeout run at 9 and our B.A.A. sponsored panel, which we are honored to co-host with Cherie Turner, at the Expo Live Stage at 2. This year, we will be interviewing professional athletes, Kelly Bruno, Bri Boehmer, and Alisa Harvey. You can find us on Instagram and Facebook @runfartherandfaster. Looking for coaching?
