In this dynamic episode of Proven Health Alternatives, I'm joined by 7x CrossFit Games athlete Bethany Flores and performance coach Randy Flores for a wide-ranging conversation that bridges athletic training, nutritional science, and holistic wellness. We explore Bethany's evolution from competitive bodybuilding to elite CrossFit, and how diverse athletic foundations—like gymnastics and strength training—have uniquely shaped her competitive advantage. She opens up about overcoming chronic back pain, the mental and physical toll of injury, and how laser therapy, strategic rehab, and personal support became crucial to her recovery. Randy shares his approach to training high-performance athletes—including his work with the Los Angeles Lakers—with key takeaways on energy system optimization, posterior chain strength, and training intensity balance. Bethany also offers a vulnerable and empowering look into her journey with eating disorders, gut health struggles, and the nutritional strategies she uses to sustain elite performance—reminding us that looking fit doesn't always mean functioning optimally. Whether you're a competitive athlete, health enthusiast, or practitioner, this episode delivers a wealth of insights on building a body—and a mindset—that lasts. Key Takeaways: CrossFit requires a strategic understanding of mixed energy systems for optimal performance. Bethany's diverse athletic journey showcases the importance of foundational bodybuilding and gymnastics in CrossFit success. Managing chronic back injury involves an integrated approach including laser therapy, postural restoration, and varied training intensity. The role of a comprehensive nutritional strategy is crucial for maintaining gut health and supporting elite athletic performance.

Today Adrian goes back to dissect the top of the leaderboard from the CrossFit Games. This isn't about the programming, this about what the athletes did or didn't do, what Adrian saw, heard and witness overall from a behind the scenes perspective at the 2023 CrossFit Games. He explores if this year has an asterisk on it from Tia Toomey not competing on the women's side? Should Laura Horvath take offense to this? Is Justin Medeiros done as the champ? Can he rebound from a year like this? If so....what will it take? We had an exciting 2023 CrossFit Games and it's not hard to see why crowning new champs in each category may have made this year the most exciting Games we've seen yet!

One of CrossFit's most formidable and consistent performers, Cole Sager honed his competitive edge on the gridiron, playing four years at the University of Washington as a running back and special teams player.

After qualifying for his first Regionals within months of entering the sport, Cole started moving up the ranks as he honed his craft. He won the Northwest Regional in 2014 and has qualified for every Games since, notching Top 10 finishes in 2015 (7th), 2016 (5th), and 2018 (7th).
