CrossFit gave Kim Berube a goal beyond looking thin. In Episode 933 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes talks with Kim about years of eating disorders and body dysmorphia. She shares how training for strength helped her focus on what her body could do. Now she is chasing a place at the CrossFit Games in the 40-44 age group while raising two boys. They discuss eating enough to train hard, three years of sobriety, and the support that kept her in the gym. Kim also explains how rep reviews pushed her from 15th to 43rd and why she hired a coach. Hear how she is giving her athletic dreams another shot.
