This Is Victory, the official podcast of revvel, is hosted by revvel founder and Olympic champion Jennifer Heil. During Jenn's 20-year athletic career, she learned that reaching your potential isn't a solo project. During her competitive years, she was surrounded by the world's best nutritionists, physiologists, mindset coaches, and more. But when she transitioned out of sport, she lost access to her team, and like so many women in mid-life, accessing premium, personalized health information became very difficult to find. Revvel is closing that gap by bringing Olympic-level experts to everyday women through AI twin technology. This podcast takes you inside those conversations with elite athletes, world-class experts, because top-tier expertise shouldn't be reserved for a select few. Hosted on Acast.

    Olympic Champion Beckie Scott on Speaking Truth to Power and What It Cost

    Host Jenn Heil sits down with Beckie Scott, Olympic champion, global anti-doping leader, and one of Jenn's personal heroes. In Salt Lake City in 2002, Beckie became the first North American woman to win an Olympic cross-country skiing medal, a bronze that became silver, then gold, as the doped athletes ahead of her were disqualified over the following three years. She went on to chair WADA's athlete committee, founded Spirit North, an organization that now reaches 20,000 Indigenous youth across Canada every year. Today, she is the CEO of Nordiq Canada. In this conversation, Beckie and and Jenn unpack what it takes to speak up when the world tells you to stay grateful and silent. In this episode, Jenn and Beckie discuss: The four-year climb from 45th at her first Olympics to the podium — building a system and culture that didn't yet existThe call that turned her medal moment upside down, and the surreal three-year journey from bronze to goldWhy staying silent felt like complicity: the backlash of speaking out, and the personal toll of leading the clean-sport fightLife now: founding Spirit North, interval sessions with old teammates, protecting sleep, and what victory means today The support behind great performance should not be reserved for sport. revvel gives women access to world-class experts — the kind of team most people never get.

    Olympic Medalist Helen Upperton: Bobsleigh, Firefighting, and Finding Her Way

    Host Jenn Heil sits down with Helen Upperton, Olympic silver medalist in two-woman bobsleigh. Four years after missing bronze in Turin by five one-hundredths of a second, Helen piloted her sled to the podium at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games alongside brakewoman Shelley-Ann Brown. After retiring from sport, she broke new ground as a firefighter in Calgary, passing a grueling physical test while pregnant and earning her place in a field where women remain rare. Then motherhood brought her hardest opponent yet — severe postpartum depression — and Helen realized recovery would demand what winning always had: a team built around her. In this episode, Jenn and Helen discuss: The Vancouver podium on home soil, and the rock-bottom year before it — choosing joy and gratitude to climb out of a deep holeTurning fourth place in Turin into fuel, and pioneering a place for women in firefightingPostpartum depression: ignoring the signs, the phone call that started her recovery, and why accepting help is a strengthBuilding your team — friends, experts, and coaches — and asking, "What do I need to be the best version of myself?"

    Sports Nutrition Pioneer Louise Burke on GLP-1s, Female Athletes, and the Myth of the Perfect Diet

    revvel CEO Jenn Heil sits down with Professor Louise Burke, world authority in sports nutrition. Louise has shaped elite athlete fueling for over 40 years, including 30 years leading nutrition at the Australian Institute of Sport and five Australian Olympic teams. For decades Louise has shaped how elite athletes fuel, pioneering "research-embedded training camps" where she co-designs studies with athletes inside their real training environments rather than a lab. In this conversation, she and Jenn translate that elite, individualized approach into something every woman can use.  In this episode, Jenn and Louise discuss: Louise's changed mind on GLP-1 medications — why being "so effective" is exactly the reason to get in their way and protect muscle, bone, and nutritionCutting through the "holy wars" of nutrition — why context beats any single perfect diet, and how influencers have made trustworthy advice harder to findWhat the science actually says about female-athlete nutrition — from real iron and body-image differences to the overhyped menstrual-cycle claimsREDs (relative energy deficiency in sport): what low energy availability does to the body, and why it took so long to name The support behind great performance should not be reserved for sport. revvel gives women access to world-class experts — the kind of team most people never get.

    Olympic Champion, ER doctor, NHL Executive: Hayley Wickenheiser on Performing Under Pressure

She's a five-time Olympic medalist (four gold), and now works as a practicing emergency medicine physician as well as an executive for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

    NBA Physio Dani Langford: How to Read Your Body

    revvel CEO Jenn Heil sits down with Dani Langford — physiotherapist, kinesiologist, professional basketball player, and current manager of player rehabilitation for the Golden State Warriors — to explore how the movement and recovery principles behind elite athletes apply to women in their 40s and 50s. Dani knew at nine years old she wanted to be a physiotherapist, and she grew up in the gym as the daughter of one of Canada's most decorated women's basketball coaches. Her path to the NBA began when a mentor insisted she belonged there, a leap she first resisted as a mom of two before deciding curiosity was worth following. She and Jenn dig into why every body carries a story written by the way it moves, why an NBA star and an everyday woman begin rehabilitation in the same place. Key topics: Your body writes a story: how your desk, your sport, and old injuries create "default postures" you and why diversity of movement is the antidoteFoundational movement patterns: matching loaded vs. offloaded activity to your body's specific history (bone density, arthritis, past impact)Recovery as a non-negotiable that actually starts with daily routines, adequate protein and prioritizing protecting sleepBuilding your day with intention instead of just trying harder The support behind great performance should not be reserved for sport. revvel gives women access to world-class experts — the kind of team most people never get.

    What Pressure Does to Us and the Support We Need to Perform

    revvel CEO Jenn Heil sits down with Dr. Penny Werthner, Canadian Olympian and renown sports psychologist of 30+ years to explore how the mental skills that build Olympic champions can help women in their 40s and 50s ("the sandwich generation") perform in everyday life. Penny pioneered the applied use of biofeedback and neurofeedback in Canadian sport. She worked with Jenn through her final Olympic cycle, helping her train the mental and physiological control required to perform under immense pressure. Key topics: Biofeedback and neurofeedback: training relaxation, focus, and recovery using real-time data on how your nervous system responds under pressureThe difference between pressure (wanting an outcome you can't control) and stress (your body's physiological response) — and why women's pressure rarely has an endpointRecovery as a learnable skill that happens in small moments throughout the dayWhy "mental toughness" is misunderstood, and what real resiliency looks like: honest self-assessment and permission to stopGender differences in athlete-coach communicationPenny's starting prescription: move your body, and bring someone with you The support behind great performance should not be reserved for sport. revvel gives women access to world-class experts — the kind of team most people never get.
