    @botoxandburpeespodcast host Dr. Sam Rhee talks with Mike Warren @mikewarren___ about going from a college football strength mindset to chasing real, repeatable fitness through CrossFit, competition, and triathlon training.

    We talk with guest Karenn Marin @karenn.mrn about how CrossFit becomes her anchor through a brutal stretch of life changes, from long-standing body image pain to a sudden family crisis and a fresh start in a new city.  The constant in her life is training, mentorship, and community, which helped her rebuild confidence, boundaries, and mental health one workout at a time.  • growing up non-athletic, extremely skinny, and self-conscious about body image  • a Peru hiking trip and the pandemic creating a wake-up call to build real fitness  • learning consistency the hard way, including injuries from training without coaching  • starting CrossFit to learn form, progress safely, and feel capable  • navigating divorce and a house fire, using the gym as a daily coping tool  • experiencing real support from new gym communities during crisis  • recognizing how toxic relationship dynamics can derail training and self-trust  • returning to CrossFit Bison, making friends, and unlocking rapid improvement  #crossfitcoach #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #gymowner #HealthyLiving #GymLife #CrossFit #FitnessJourney #BotoxAndBurpees #podcast @botoxandburpeespodcast @crossfitbison

    S05E113 Beyond the Basics: Should Athletes Consider Peptide BPC 157? With Guest Marissa Liza

    Peptides have become a hot topic in the fitness and recovery world, but what's the truth behind the hype? In this revealing conversation, special guest Marissa Liza, a licensed acupuncturist @allpointsacu who's been taking the peptide BPC-157 for the past month, explores her firsthand experience and the science behind this trending compound. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found naturally in the stomach. While animal studies suggest promising benefits for tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and even gut health, human clinical research remains limited.  We dig deep into the mechanisms that make BPC-157 potentially valuable for athletes and anyone dealing with nagging injuries – from its ability to stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) to its potential role in accelerating recovery. We also discuss important concerns, including its regulatory status, safety considerations, and the quality control issues that come with any unregulated compound. Whether you're an athlete looking for an edge in recovery, someone dealing with chronic pain, or simply curious about cutting-edge wellness approaches, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on the risk-benefit analysis of peptide therapy.  #BPC157 #Peptides #Recovery #Wellness #FitnessJourney #PerformanceEnhancement #Acupuncture #Healing #Biohacking #HealthAndWellness #BotoxAndBurpees #MedicalPodcast #PlasticSurgery @botoxandburpeespodcast
