On this episode, we sit down with Heather and discuss how CrossFit can positively impact those who struggle with substance abuse.

Heather's parents own CrossFit Flora in Flora, Mississippi. We discuss being the daughter of a CrossFit gym owner, and her work as a substance abuse Heather opens up about her former struggles with substance addiction as well as her current work as a substance abuse counselor and the daily conflicts she sees in the people she tries to help.

Addiction changes people. When someone is addicted to something, they can't live without it. We discuss how shifting the object of addiction can change a life for the better. Addiction problems are spiritual, mental, and physical. By encouraging CrossFit workouts as a positive source of "addiction", those facing substance abuse can completely change their lives and the lives of those around them.

On this week's podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jason Holmes and discuss CrossFit from a doctor's point of view.

"Dr. J" has been an Emergency Room doctor for 13 years, he has a fully functioning blog focused on living intentionally, very active in his church, goes on several medical mission trips annually, and (most importantly) is a husband and father of three.

We talk about how your legacy matters, medical mission trips, life as a CrossFitting ER doctor, Dr. J’s current workout regimen, and goal-setting for 2018.

We ask if CrossFit dangerous. What’s next for the American healthcare industry and how nutrition and fitness will and is taking the lead for those sick.

Oftentimes we think that Day 1 of a new habit is the most important, but really that isn't true. We sit down to discuss why it's easy to start something new, but hard to finish.

The coaches discuss how they found CrossFit as a training program. We also talk about why we workout at CrossFit Inside Out and continue to do CrossFit as our daily training regimen.

We sit down to discuss the difference between Wisdom and Knowledge, not just in the gym, but in every day life. How can you practically apply the knowledge that you learn in the gym to your life at home?
