In this episode, Chris sits down with Josh Good, lead pastor at Hillsdale United Brethren Church, for a thoughtful conversation about one of life's biggest questions: What is spiritual health?

Together, they explore how spiritual health compares to physical health, why it can be so difficult to define, and whether it can be cultivated through daily habits and intentional discipline. They discuss the relationship between faith and fitness, the role of joy and gratitude, the importance of purpose, and how seemingly small habits can create lasting transformation.

Whether you're deeply rooted in your faith, searching for answers, or simply curious about the connection between mind, body, and soul, this conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about what it means to live a healthy, purposeful life.

Topics include:

• What spiritual health really is

• Can physical health strengthen your faith?

• The role of discipline, fasting, and daily habits

• Why joy may be one of the greatest signs of spiritual maturity

• Finding your purpose and reaching your full potential

• How small, consistent actions create lasting change

Whether your child dreams of playing college sports or simply living a healthy, active life, the foundation starts long before high school. In this episode, Chris sits down with Matt Davis, CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and CrossFit Kids coach, to discuss why developing coordination, balance, confidence, and general athleticism matters more than early sport specialization.

Together, they explore how CrossFit Kids helps children build movement skills, resilience, and self-confidence through fun, age-appropriate training. They also tackle common misconceptions about youth strength training, discuss the growing decline in youth physical activity, and explain why exposing kids to a wide variety of movements can reduce injuries, improve athletic performance, and set them up for lifelong health.

Most people don't struggle because they don't know what to do—they struggle because they don't believe they can follow through.

In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores the concept of self-efficacy: the belief that you can make meaningful change. Whether your goal is overcoming pain, losing weight, improving your fitness, or building healthier habits, your confidence in yourself is often a stronger predictor of success than the plan itself.

You'll walk through a simple reflection exercise designed to help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, build confidence, and focus on the next step instead of the entire mountain. If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing what you "should" do, this episode will give you a practical framework to help you move forward.

Have you ever followed the perfect plan… only to fall off track a few weeks later?

In this episode, Chris explores why accountability isn't just about discipline—it's about confidence, identity, and creating a plan you can actually sustain. Whether you're recovering from an injury, trying to lose weight, building healthier habits, or working toward a fitness goal, success isn't about being perfect. It's about getting back on track when life inevitably gets in the way.

Chris shares a simple exercise to help you redefine what success really looks like, explains why "all-or-nothing" thinking keeps so many people stuck, and discusses how doing less can sometimes lead to better results.

If you've ever felt like you're the problem—not the plan—this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores two of the biggest obstacles that prevent people from reaching their health, fitness, rehab, and lifestyle goals. Whether you're trying to recover from an injury, lose weight, improve your fitness, or make lasting changes to your health, the challenge often isn't a lack of information—it's a lack of consistency.

Chris discusses how many people, especially parents, caregivers, and hardworking professionals, spend so much time taking care of others that they neglect themselves. He explains why prioritizing your own health isn't selfish—it's essential if you want to continue showing up for the people who depend on you.

The conversation also dives into the impact of work, family responsibilities, and life's constant demands on long-term progress. Chris shares lessons from his time in the Marine Corps, practical strategies for staying on track when life gets busy, and why patience is critical when pursuing meaningful change.

Finally, Chris explains why coaching can be a game-changer. In a world where information is everywhere, accountability, guidance, and support are often the missing pieces that help people stay consistent long enough to achieve lasting results.

If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unable to maintain momentum toward your goals, this episode is for you.

Can you really exercise your way to weight loss? Or have we been focusing on the wrong thing all along?

In this solo episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explores the relationship between weight loss, nutrition, recovery, and long-term health. While most patients come to him for pain or injury—not weight loss—many discover that the same habits that improve recovery also improve body composition, energy levels, and overall health.

He also shares practical strategies for making sustainable dietary changes, including the 800 Gram Challenge, a simple framework that can help you eat more nutrient-dense foods without restrictive dieting.

Whether you're an athlete, an active adult, or someone trying to improve your health, this episode offers a realistic, evidence-informed approach to weight loss that focuses on building better habits—not relying on willpower.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why recovery is essential for health, performance, and weight management

• The connection between sleep, stress, nutrition, and body weight

• Why exercise alone may not be enough for weight loss

• How the body adapts to increased physical activity

• Common obstacles that make healthy eating difficult

• What the 800 Gram Challenge is and how to implement it

• How to create sustainable dietary changes without feeling restricted

If you've struggled with weight loss, recovery, or maintaining healthy habits, this episode will help you think about the problem in a new way.

Together, they explore the difference between what is common and what is normal, the challenges of finding trustworthy health information in the age of social media, the role of collaboration between patients and providers, and why individualized care matters.

In this episode, Chris shares the story of a patient who is working to reclaim his health after years of inactivity, weight gain, surgeries, and declining physical function.
