We delve into one of our favorite discussions: the 100 Words of Health, inspired by CrossFit's 100 Words of Fitness.
Our conversation explores the principles behind these words, emphasizing the importance of environment, intentionality, passion, challenges, and various health factors like nutrition, sleep, and connections.
We discuss the significance of recognizing health as a mix of choices and luck while focusing on what can be controlled.
We also highlight the pitfalls of fixating on single health metrics, the influence of environment and social media, the impact of stress, and the importance of treating oneself with care and respect.
