  #107 - Concussions in Youth Sports: What Every Parent Needs to Know

  Sep 25, 202626 min

  A suspected concussion isn’t something an athlete should just “shake off.” In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris breaks down what parents, coaches, and other non-medical bystanders need to know about recognizing a possible concussion and taking the right steps when an athlete gets hurt. Using the Concussion Recognition Tool (CRT6) as a guide, Chris explains common signs and symptoms of concussion, red flags that warrant emergency medical attention, and why an athlete with a suspected concussion should be removed from play and medically evaluated—even if they start feeling better a few minutes later. You’ll learn: What actually happens during a concussion Why a concussion doesn’t require a direct hit to the head Signs and symptoms parents and coaches should recognize Red flags that require immediate medical attention Why symptoms can develop after the initial injury Why athletes with a suspected concussion should not return to play the same day How the CRT6 can help parents and coaches make difficult sideline decisions When an athlete’s long-term health is at stake, the game doesn’t matter. Knowing what to look for—and having the confidence to act—can make all the difference.

  #106 - Do Hard Things: Jeff Fisher on Teaching, Coaching & Untapped Potential

  Sep 18, 20261h 18m

  What does it take to help someone realize they’re capable of more? In this episode, Chris sits down with Jeff Fisher—a high school teacher, CrossFit Level 3 coach, father, and the founder of CrossFit Camden Frontier, a nonprofit CrossFit affiliate at Camden-Frontier High School. Jeff shares the experiences that led him into teaching, his own unlikely introduction to CrossFit, and how a small summer fitness program eventually grew into a fully equipped CrossFit affiliate for students. But this conversation goes far beyond workouts. Chris and Jeff talk about the connection between teaching and coaching, why people need opportunities to experience success, the importance of community, and what happens when we become afraid of doing difficult things. They also explore one of Jeff’s biggest frustrations: seeing untapped potential in people who don’t yet recognize what they’re capable of. From the classroom to the gym to parenting, this episode is ultimately about challenging people, supporting them through failure, and helping them discover what might be waiting on the other side of doing something hard. If you’re a parent, teacher, coach, athlete—or simply someone who wonders if you have more potential than you’re currently using—this conversation is for you.

  #105 - Stop Chasing Numbers That Don’t Improve Your Life

  Sep 13, 202617 min

  10,000 steps. 100 grams of protein. A certain number on the scale. A lower pain score. We love numbers because they give us something concrete to measure—but what happens when hitting the number becomes more important than the reason we started tracking it in the first place? In this episode, Chris explains why metrics like step count, protein intake, body weight, pain levels, strength, and range of motion can be useful tools—but they shouldn’t become the ultimate goal. Instead of obsessing over arbitrary numbers, we need to ask a more important question: What are we actually trying to accomplish? Whether you want to run a 5K, play pickleball, get back to golf, exercise without fear, or simply live a more active life, the numbers should help move you toward something that actually improves your quality of life. The metrics are a means to an end. They are not the end themselves. Chapters 00:36 — Metrics Are Not the Mission 01:22 — Why We Measure Everything 01:41 — When Metrics Become Criteria for Success 02:39 — The Problem With Obsessing Over Protein 04:15 — When Hitting Your Protein Goal Changes Nothing 04:54 — Step Counts Don’t Automatically Improve Your Life 05:39 — When Rehab Metrics Miss the Real Problem 06:58 — The Risks of Chasing Pain Relief Alone 07:25 — Numbers Can Lead to Discouragement 07:43 — Why Some Fitness Standards Are Arbitrary 08:37 — Set Meaningful Goals, Not Just Numbers 09:30 — Move From Measurements to Activity Goals 10:04 — Backplanning From the Life You Want 11:52 — Protein, Exercise, and the Right Level of Focus 13:20 — Why Fitness Trends Keep Changing 14:39 — Metrics Are a Means to an End 15:10 — When Specific Numbers Really Matter 16:11 — Improve Your Life Before the Pain Is Gone 16:41 — Don’t Hyperfocus on the Little Numbers 16:59 — The Real Goal: Make Your Life Better Where to find Chris Netley: BuildBeyondHealth.com Instagram: @BuildBeyondHealth YouTube: @chrisnetleyDC X (formerly Twitter): @chrisnetleyDC Facebook: Build Beyond Health, PLLC Music licensed through Soundstripe.

  #104 - You’ve Been Going the Wrong Direction for 10 Years

  Sep 12, 202617 min

  Making a big change doesn’t usually fail because you aren’t motivated enough. Sometimes, the problem is that you’re trying too hard, too fast. In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris explains why intensity may be one of the least important things to focus on when you’re starting a new fitness, nutrition, rehab, or lifestyle change. Instead, he breaks down three factors that matter more: frequency, volume, and consistency. You’ll learn why going “all in” often leads to burnout, why a few months of progress can feel frustrating when you’re trying to reverse years of habits, and how taking a longer-term approach can help you build the skills, confidence, and physical capacity necessary to create lasting change. If you’ve ever started strong, fallen off, and wondered whether you’re just “not the kind of person” who can make a change, this episode is for you. Chapters 00:00 — Why Big Changes Feel So Difficult 00:30 — Simple Solutions Require Long-Term Effort 00:59 — How Self-Doubt Creeps In 01:29 — A Real-World Example of Delayed Results 02:14 — Ten Years Down the Path 02:43 — The Math Behind Sustainable Progress 03:44 — Why Change Takes Time 04:19 — From Pain Management to Bigger Goals 05:36 — The Ripple Effects of Better Sleep and Activity 06:31 — Turning Around Takes Patience 07:03 — The Biggest Mistake: Focusing on Intensity 08:09 — Why Going Too Hard Leads to Burnout 08:48 — The Three Keys: Frequency, Volume, and Consistency 09:17 — Frequency: Practice More Often in Smaller Chunks 09:46 — The Juggling Example 11:03 — Consistency Over the Long Term 12:01 — Building a Sustainable Running Routine 12:36 — How Consistency Builds Skill and Confidence 13:31 — Managing Intensity to Reduce Injury Risk 14:11 — The Core Summary: Tone Down the Intensity 15:05 — When to Add Intensity 15:35 — Why Coaching and Planning Matter 16:11 — The Method Behind High Achievement 16:44 — Closing Thoughts Where to find Chris Netley: BuildBeyondHealth.com Instagram: @BuildBeyondHealth YouTube: @chrisnetleyDC X (formerly Twitter): @chrisnetleyDC Facebook: Build Beyond Health, PLLC Music licensed through Soundstripe.

  #103 - What If the Best Version of Your Physical Life Isn’t Behind You?

  Sep 11, 202628 min

  Pain and injury can be frustrating—but often, the biggest fear isn’t the pain itself. It’s what the pain might take away from you. In this episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris breaks down five of the biggest fears people have when they’re struggling with pain, injury, or their health—from worrying that something is seriously wrong to wondering whether they’ll ever be able to get back to the activities they love. He also explores what people actually want from healthcare: individualized plans, clear explanations, confidence instead of fear, meaningful goals, accountability, and a path back to real life—not just temporary symptom relief. Most importantly, this episode challenges the idea that you have to wait until you’re completely pain-free before you start living again. Your goal shouldn’t simply be to feel better. It should be to get back to doing the things that make your life yours. Chapters 00:00 - Opening the episode for people who feel stuck in pain or recovery 04:42 - Why patients’ fears matter more than provider autopilot 07:10 - The five biggest fears patients bring into care 07:56 - Fear of losing the life they love 08:20 - Fear that something seriously wrong is happening 09:04 - Fear of making the injury worse 09:28 - Fear that nobody actually knows how to help 10:04 - Why patients have to guess between providers 10:33 - What traditional chiropractic often looks like from the patient side 11:41 - Why many PT plans feel cookie-cutter and limited 12:39 - Why primary care often defaults to rest, imaging, or medication 14:05 - What shoe stores and mattress stores reveal about biased advice 15:26 - What patients want versus what they hate in care 16:09 - Why people reject cookie-cutter rehab plans 16:53 - Why time, listening, and clarity change the experience 17:54 - Why patients want confidence, autonomy, and a path forward 18:21 - Why staying active beats simply being told to rest 18:45 - Why active participation matters more than passive treatment 19:34 - Why rehab must prepare people for real-world demands 20:04 - Why recovery has to go beyond activities of daily living 20:49 - Why individualized progression matters more than rigid timelines 21:37 - Why connection, accountability, and follow-through improve outcomes 22:42 - Why age is not the main barrier to returning to activity 23:33 - The frustration of insurance, billing, and unclear costs 25:11 - Why symptom improvement alone is not the real goal 26:19 - Focusing on function instead of just pain, numbness, or tingling 26:46 - The cost of waiting for perfect symptom relief 27:17 - Getting back to valued activity while continuing to improve 27:53 - Why “pain-free” is not always the standard of success Where to find Chris Netley: BuildBeyondHealth.com Instagram: @BuildBeyondHealth YouTube: @chrisnetleyDC X (formerly Twitter): @chrisnetleyDC Facebook: Build Beyond Health, PLLC Music licensed through Soundstripe.
