    #83 - How to Build Confidence When You Don’t Trust Yourself

    Most people don’t struggle because they lack time or information—they struggle because they lack confidence. In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris breaks down one of the biggest barriers to change: the belief that you can actually follow through.

Chris walks you through a simple, practical exercise to help you build confidence, identify obstacles before they show up, and take meaningful first steps toward your goals. Whether you’re dealing with pain, trying to get back into a routine, or looking to level up your health and performance, this episode gives you a clear framework to move forward. If you’ve ever said “I know what I should be doing, but I’m just not doing it,” this one is for you.

    #82 - When Nutrition Becomes the Injury: Understanding RED-S

    Most people don’t expect questions about nutrition or menstrual cycles when they come in for elbow or wrist pain—but there’s a reason they matter. In this episode, Dr. Chris breaks down Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and why it’s one of the most overlooked causes of chronic pain, poor recovery, and recurring injuries—especially in active women and former athletes. You’ll learn how under-fueling impacts recovery, hormones, and bone health… and why training harder isn’t always the answer. Chris also shares how to recognize the warning signs and what it takes to build the right healthcare team to address the root problem—not just the symptoms. If you’ve been dealing with nagging injuries or feel like your body just isn’t bouncing back the way it should, this episode will change how you think about performance, recovery, and long-term health.

    In today’s world, it’s harder than ever to know who to trust when it comes to your health.

He breaks down the hypocrisy on both sides of the debate and explains why blindly trusting a single source can lead to poor decisions. This episode isn’t about telling you what to think—it’s about helping you think more clearly. You’ll learn how to navigate conflicting information, identify pseudoscience, and make more informed decisions for yourself and your family in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
