    Legends of the CrossFit Games PH320

    In this special episode, I’m sharing a compilation of some of my favorite conversations with five of the most decorated athletes in CrossFit Games history: Rich Froning, Tia-Clair Toomey, Mat Fraser, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Annie Thorisdottir. These episodes span the past ten years of the podcast—starting with my very first recording ever, with Rich Froning. It’s been incredible to reflect on how much the show has evolved, and even more powerful to revisit the insights these champions shared. We talk about their mindset towards competition and pressure: what drove them to the top of the sport, what continues to fuel their training, and the habits behind their success. Whether you’ve been following the podcast from the beginning or just tuning in, I hope you enjoy this look back at some of the most inspiring conversations I’ve had with the Fittest on Earth.

    Finding Purpose Beyond the Podium: My Wake-up Call PH319

    I’m sharing a personal story from one of the most challenging seasons of my life—balancing the intense demands of medical school with training for the CrossFit Games, all while navigating grief and major life transitions. A pivotal conversation with my mom forced me to pause and ask a question I had never truly considered: Why was I doing all of this? What followed was a powerful realization about the role of purpose in sustaining us through life’s most difficult moments. I hope this reflection encourages you to examine your own "why"—and to rediscover meaning in the things that matter most.

    The Fertility Crisis + Support for Couples PH314

    Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the visionary co-founders of WeNatal, a pioneering prenatal supplement company dedicated to supporting both women and men on their fertility journeys. Their partnership began over 15 years ago at Nike, where they forged a deep friendship that would later evolve into a shared mission. After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, Ronit and Vida were struck by the lack of guidance and the absence of male-focused fertility support in traditional prenatal care. This realization propelled them to create WeNatal, aiming to shift the conversation from "me" to "we" in reproductive health. Backed by leading functional medicine doctors and nutritionists, WeNatal offers science-backed, clean, and bioavailable supplements designed to optimize fertility and overall health for both partners from preconception through postpartum. You can connect with Ronit and Vida via Instagram @we_natal Related Episodes: Ep 291 - Nutrition for Pregnancy with Brigid Titgemeier Ep 304 - Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Treatment with Dr. Lauren Rubal If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating or share your feedback on social media using the hashtag #PursuingHealth.
