people need to understand that healthy aging isn't one of those

things that you can play catch up with, you know, just because

you feel good, that you perform well, you can go to the gym, you

Welcome to Pursuing Health. I'm Dr. Julie Fushay, family physician, and former

CrossFit Games athlete. Here I bring you information and inspiration to help

bridge the gap between fitness and medicine and support your journey toward

your healthiest self. This episode is a replay of a monthly webinar that I

hosted on behalf of CrossFit Health with Dr. Bob Roundtree on Healthy

Aging. We talk about healthy aging and how decisions that support short-term

performance gains may differ from those that best support long-term health.

We also talk about how to assess your long-term health by using laboratory

markers, the impact of factors such as exercise, intermittent fasting, sleep,

nutrition, and environmental toxins on our health, as well as some supplements

that may be beneficial. You can join us live for next month's webinar on

December 9th at 6 p.m. Eastern 3 p.m. Pacific, which will be featuring Dr. Gabriel

Lyon. She is a family physician also who has expertise in geriatrics and

nutritional science, and works closely with a special operations military, and

we'll be discussing skeletal muscle and health. So keep an eye out in the

CrossFit email of the day and on CrossFit.com for registration details. Before
