Rodrigo Jasbick, M.D., a cardiologist and CF-MDL1 in Brazil, and Mike Giardina discuss the need to bridge the gap between fitness and healthcare. He describes what doctors do as “sick care,” essentially treating the symptoms of an already-established illness, and what takes place in the affiliate as “health care,” which is improving lifestyle to create a buffer against sickness.
Dr. Jasbick describes the challenges he has faced and overcome while practicing medicine in his country. As a cardiologist, he cannot prescribe exercise and nutrition, but he feels that education is the key to success. Though Dr. Jasbick cannot prescribe exercise and nutrition to his patients, he can educate them and point them in the right direction for health: the CrossFit affiliate. He emphasizes educating his colleagues on the efficacy of CrossFit for improving health outcomes. He has set up webinars and roundtable discussions to educate CrossFit coaches and affiliate owners on the needs of his patients and how CrossFit affiliates can be the lifeboats of health.

What Rodrigo’s been doing is of utmost importance since doctors in Brazil tend to consider CrossFit and similar activities super risky! Congrats, Rodrigo

The revolution has started.

Let’s do it!
Thank you Mike, Karen and all CrossFit Health’s staff.
Congratulations Dear Jasbick, it's very gratifying to see your commitment and dedication to demystify CrossFit and educate people on how much the methodology can save them.
Brazilian Pride!
This is so good. Medicine does nothing to cure disease. It mitigates symptoms and can reduce risk in the acute phase for sure. But we are doing a huge disservice prescribing people a "low fat diet" and statins for everyone who's cholesterol and triglycerides are mildly elevated while ignoring the absolute garbage they eat and the sedentary lifestyle they lead. As a nurse who treats patients in the most acute phase of cardiac events, I do believe some patients need medication, but hopefully, the end goal is to get most patients off medications and living a healthier lifestyle. Going to try and find the CrossFit health panel interview now. Keep it up guys!
