Hey guys, this week we get right back into the science of exercise and how we function as a whole! We are going to dig a little bit into just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to food and how our body utilizes it, I wanted to break it down and make it more relatable and also dispel some myths regarding carbohydrates and how our body uses it! As always, enjoy and leave feedback and reviews it really does help us grow!

This episode is more dedicated to mindset, every fifth episode will be solely dedicated to mindset, and working on our mental game. Because, when the central command is working with us, so is everything else. Today we are discussing reaction VS response and the benefit of not having an opinion, it may be stronger than you realize!

In this episode we dive a little bit into some of the thoughts and statements that typically surround social media and non-Crossfitters, things like: "How dangerous is Crossfit?", "Isn't Crossfit expensive?" And a few other topics as well. I want to provide a DISCLAIMER, although in a majority of my content I attempt to remain unbiased and provide information from peer-reviewed sources, this episode contains more of my PERSONAL experience within the space, and I welcome discussion regarding any topics found within.  Lastly in this episode, we will be discussing judgment, and what characters like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius had to say about it. Enjoy!
