| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent |
| 0:08.5 | conversations. |
| 0:13.8 | In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Julie Foucher, and if you are part of the CrossFit community, then you no doubt have |
| 0:24.2 | heard of Julie. She completed her residency and also went to medical school at Cleveland Clinic, |
| 0:30.1 | which is incredible. We had a very heart-to-heart conversation about what it takes to be great. |
| 0:39.7 | What do you do when you have weaknesses? |
| 0:46.8 | What are her thoughts on medicine? And in particular, how does she see medicine working? And why did she choose medicine? Again, this is a very well trained physician and an incredible, incredible athlete who, you know, placed in the |
| 0:59.7 | top five multiple rounds of the CrossFit games, all while in medical school and during |
| 1:07.4 | her training. So I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. |

| 1:42.4 | sponsors is Element, and that is an electrolyte-based solution. |
| 1:47.3 | I have been using them for years now. |
| 1:49.3 | They are a science-backed electrolyte powder, which you could travel with, which is amazing. |
| 1:55.6 | They have 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, 60 milligrams of magnesium. You know, oftentimes we feel like |
| 2:04.3 | we need more sleep and we're really, quote, tired. But in fact, it's not that you're tired, |
| 2:09.6 | but you are dehydrated. And oftentimes when you are dehydrated, maybe you're more hungry |
| 2:14.2 | or you're not performing as well as you can be. Utilizing Element |
