Better Faster Podcast

Ladies and gentlemen, this right here is episode 200 of our podcast! Can you believe it? We've come so far, it's like we're climbing Everest without oxygen! In this extra special episode, we're gonna take you on a trip down memory lane, back to the days when we didn't even have microphones! Yeah, you heard that right. We were like cavemen communicating with grunts and hand gestures. But look at us now, conquering the podcasting world like true champions! But hey, you know what's even more impressive than our journey? Our team member Sydney Vanlandingham, she's a force to be reckoned with! She's kicking ass, both inside and outside of the clinic. She's like a hurricane of awesomeness, leaving a trail of greatness in her wake! And let's not forget about Josh's athlete, Ethan Helbig. This guy is a beast, a true warrior! He's punched his ticket once again to the CrossFit Games, proving that he's not just some ordinary Joe. No, no, no! Ethan is the embodiment of dedication and determination, and we're proud to have him on our team! But wait, there's more! We're diving into the world of college baseball as the action is heating up! And finally, we talk about Russell Okung who has shed a whopping 100 pounds! And get this, he did it through a grueling 40-day fasting journey.
