Scott Switzer is a former athlete, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, and a familiar face at CrossFit events across the country. He has a remarkable transformation story, having lost nearly 250 pounds and reversing his diabetes with the help of his neighbor, his family, and his CrossFit community.

But Scott’s journey has not been without setbacks. Back surgery, a vascular condition, and an ongoing struggle with depression have resulted in regaining weight, but he’s not giving up.

In this episode, Scott shares his incredibly inspiring mindset around how he’s improving his mental and physical health. We chat about the ups and downs of his journey: how he recognized he needed to get help from a professional, how he’s found the courage to make big changes in his life, and how he continues to work his way back towards fitness.
