Hi! Really enjoyed this podcast! It was the first one to me. And be sure that I am goong to hear all of them. I am a brazillian Doctor and I am doing crossfit for almost a year right now. So, here in Brazil we have lots of discussions about crossfit and its potencial for causing injuries. Julie, if possible, would you bring us a podcast about this topic?!
Congraltulations for your career! As an athlete and future doctor! I really admire how you handle it all and your posture as a human being!
And for your guest, Uhmaro, I loved every word you said!
Good luck and best wishes for you Julie!
