CrossFit isn’t just about box jumps and burpees – It’s a cross-training approach to fitness utilizing weightlifting, resistance training, cardio, and more. CrossFit blends functional movements with high-intensity, full-body training to help improve cardiovascular fitness, mobility, mental focus – and comes with a side of having a community of people around you. CrossFit may seem expensive – but what if I told you – the investment pays off: A 2012 study found that for senior adults, Medicare Silver Sneakers program users saved an average of $1,500 a year in medical costs just from 2-3 gym sessions per week. [ SOURCE ] A Wellhub study found that employees who were active just 5x per month saw a staggering 35% drop in their medical costs. [ SOURCE ] Another study found that adults aged 40-60 who worked out 1-7 hours per week saved around $1,600/year in medical expenses [ SOURCE ] Lastly, there is broader research, from the Journal of the American Heart Association, suggesting that regular exercise can reduce annual medical bills up to $2,500 with the largest benefit being for people with heart disease. [ SOURCE ] More CrossFit – Less Medicine? A 2024 LIDSEN published medical research encompassing 1,211 people, found that people who engaged in CrossFit training had a 54% reduction in medication usage – with a portion of those individuals eliminated their need for medication entirely. [ SOURCE ] The most common medication reduction was found with: Antidepressants, Asthma Inhalers, and Painkillers. In addition, 40% of all participants reports fewer medical appointments. Lastly, there were significant responses regarding postponing surgeries due to the benefits of CrossFit with 55% of respondents reporting reduced symptoms, and 31% reported no longer needing surgery. In conclusion – is CrossFit a cure-all? Of course not. However, CrossFit is a meaningful fitness program that, according to multiple studies, pays for itself, builds a community of people around you that support you and has a positive life-long impact on your physical and mental health.

Now that we are having comprehensive bloodwork pulled for clients, a commonality we see is everyone is deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial for immune health, mood, brain function, and inflammation control — not just bone health Low levels are linked to: • Higher risk of illness (seen greatly during COVID) • Mood disorders • Cognitive decline • Chronic inflammation Many of us aren’t getting enough from sun alone. Dr. Rhonda Patrick (someone actively researching this area) suggests aiming for 40–60 ng/mL blood levels, which may require 2,000–5,000 IU/day of supplementation. Personally I’ve added Vit D to my supplement regimen since 2019 and have had a noticeable difference in inflammation and immune function. Also, get outside!
