Background

About MacLaira Joy

Hi there! My name is Maclaira and I am a senior at Stanford University studying Human Biology. At the core of everything I do is a deep curiosity about the human body. How we adapt, how we heal, and how we can support ourselves to thrive long term.I’ve had the opportunity to conduct research alongside Todd Coleman and Christopher Gardner, exploring the gut-brain axis and nutrition science. Being part of research environments has deepened my desire to understand not just what works, but why. I’m passionate about advancing a more proactive model of health. I want to explore the intersection of longevity science, functional fitness, and lifestyle medicine to help people feel and function at their highest level.If you ever need to reach me, you can most likely find me at the gym. My work revolves around strength training and I love helping others push past perceived self limitations. I’m particularly driven to empower women to build strength and confidence in their bodies. I often come back to asking what it truly means to build bodies that are fit for life. Right now, I’m continuing to deepen my clinical and coaching experience while thoughtfully evaluating the path that will allow me to create the greatest impact in preventive and performance focused health.I’m always excited to connect with others thoughtfully building in this space!
