When I got, then I took the level one, my mission, as Bruno said, we don't teach classes,

CrossFit classes. We can't do these, these things here in Brazil. So I think that our mission

is to dismissify what CrossFit is.

Hello and welcome to pursuing health. I'm Dr. Julie Fouche, 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 health yourself.

This episode is a conversation that I shared with two doctors from Brazil, Dr. Rodrigo Jaspec and

Dr. Bruno Cardoso. Rodrigo is a clinical cardiologist and intensive care unit chief medical officer

and Bruno is a doctor of sports medicine and a regular member of the CrossFit Games medical team.

Each of them experience paradigm shifting personal experiences through CrossFit that have

motivated them to team up to educate their colleagues and patients on the power of the CrossFit

methodology. It's always inspiring to meet people whose lives have been changed by CrossFit,

but to hear Bruno and Rodrigo's stories and how they're now using their own experience to

transform their communities and their profession is especially powerful to me. I hope you enjoy what

they've talked about as well. Before we dive into the episode, I do want to make it clear that this

podcast is for general information only and does not provide medical advice. I recommend that you

seek assistance from your personal physician for any health conditions or concerns. So with that,

let's get to the episode. Welcome to pursuing health. I'm really excited to be here today with two

doctors, Rodrigo, Jasperic and Bruno Cardoso from Brazil. I am so excited to hear about your

stories. We've seen your enthusiasm for CrossFit and how you are spreading that across your country

and to other doctors and the general public. I'm excited to dive into that today. Thank you

for taking time out of both of your busy schedules to speak with me.
