Diving into the concept of Micro-Misogi, inspired by Michael Easter's book 'The Comfort Crisis.’

[ 💪🏼 ] Beyond the Gym: The Broader Impact of CrossFit
Revisiting & reflecting on a talk Ben gave in 2017, introducing the teardrop model of public health.
We analyze the paradigm shift in our approach to fitness and health, addressing the misconceptions and behaviors that impact public health and exploring how far we've come in understanding preventative healthcare versus sick care.
We also discuss the role of CrossFit gyms and the evolving conversations surrounding nutrition, exercise, and long-term health.
