Week of June 10 - June 16

In this episode, we first touch on an update to a previously discussed topic. In a tragic blow to the treatment of mental health, and despite overwhelmingly positive data on its efficacy and safety, therapeutic use of MDMA for the treatment of PTSD has been denied by the FDA in the US. Yet other pharmaceutical drugs that cause far greater harm and do not effectively cure disease continue to be available. For a deep dive on this, watch our Mental Health Series from May 2023: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Healthcare is in crisis, no doubt, but the launch of the CrossFit Medical Society this week provides a bright light of hope on the horizon. Aiming to bridge the gap between fitness and healthcare, the CFMS will connect clinical practitioners with CrossFit coaches and community members with the goal of making the CF Affiliate a "health home". Anyone can join the CFMS for free at www.crossfitmedicalsociety.com and follow @crossfitmedicalsociety on Instagram

On a similar theme, BRIO + Nutrition is getting a professional office within CrossFit BRIO! Wrapping up her Masters of Science in Human Nutrition, Jocelyn will be connecting clinical nutrition with fitness and training within the CF Affiliate.

This is one of 6 new official hero workouts added by CrossFit HQ last month.

Devyn Gale, 19, of the British Columbia Wildfire Service, died July 13, 2023, while responding to a wildfire. She and her crew were flown into a fire outside of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada, and while cutting a perimeter around the fire, she was struck by a tree and killed.

Gale, of Revelstoke, was studying to be a nurse while serving as a wildfire fighter. She liked to fill her backpack with textbooks and walk up and down a hill near her home. She was a member of Mountain Made CrossFit.

Gale is survived by her parents Graham and Philomena; brother, Nolan; and sister Kayln.
