In episode 073 of the BRIO in the Box podcast David and Jocelyn talk about attending the Canadian CrossFit Affiliate Summit in Alberta and the value of "continuous improvement".
Moving on to questions from Reddit, we give our take on the secret to a happy marriage and discuss why people don't give more credit to maintaining physical and mental wellbeing through fitness.
Then we answer questions from the community around supplements. Do you need a protein powder? Does creatine work? What are BCAAs for? Is salt good or bad?

If you’ve exercised on a hot day, you may have experienced heat cramps. These painful, sustained muscle contractions are a common form of heat-related illness.
The term “heat cramps” is a little misleading, though. Heat doesn’t actually cause cramps directly; rather, it’s increased sweating — and particularly the accompanying loss of sodium — that is the leading contributor to these types of cramps.
Because heat cramps usually result from sweating, they’re relatively easy to prevent. You can reduce exertion when it’s hot out, and replace fluids and electrolytes (especially sodium) when you sweat.
I wrote this article to give you the complete rundown on heat cramps. We’ll cover how heat cramps present, how they’re different from muscle cramps, what causes them, and prevention.
