[ 💪🏼 ] Moving Society from Sickness to Wellness to Fitness

Chasing Excellence

❤️ Weekly Newsletter & the Chase Club

We answer a listener's question on how society can collectively pursue better health.

We delve into the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum popularized by CrossFit, discuss the importance of bravery, and explore schools' role in creating a healthier world.

We also examine the significant impact of big food, big soda, and big pharma on public health and consider how individual efforts and systemic changes can help move people from sickness to wellness and, ultimately, to fitness.
