Welcome to the CrossFit Health Book Club. Each month we will announce the title of a book based on a health topic we will cover through articles, social-media posts, IG lives, and webinars. The book for June 2022 is “Misguided Medicine: The Truth Behind Ill-advised Medical Recommendations and How To Take Health Back Into Your Hands,” by Colin E. Champ, M.D. We would love for you to read along with us and provide feedback and questions for our webinar in the comments below.
\n
More on “Misguided Medicine”
\n
“Are you confused as to why the foods and actions of your grandparents are now considered unhealthy, yet they lived in health to an old age? Are you tired of being told that pills, as opposed to diet, exercise, and lifestyle provide you with health? Perhaps your confusion is insight into the many issues with current medical recommendations that often take you out of the picture when it comes to your health. Perhaps it is time to take your health back into your hands.”
\n
Author Colin Champ has dual board certifications in Radiation Oncology and Integrative and Holistic Medicine. Currently, he practices medicine at Duke University, where he is also an associate professor.
\n
Mike Giardina will be hosting a live webinar with Dr. Champ June 30, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. PT. Registration details to follow.

Great simple read that makes a strong case for taking ownership of our health. This goes in the same direction as undoctored from Dr Davis but brings more than nutrition into the picture.
