About WarriorWOD:
A Holistic Approach to Veterans’ Recovery

WarriorWOD’s “Exercise as an RX” Program:

A comprehensive and compassionate approach to veterans’ recovery, WarriorWOD’s “Exercise as an RX” program is built on three foundational pillars: exercise, nutrition, and mentorship. 

The benefits The Warriorwod’s holistic approach:

Outcome 1 | Reduction of Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms: The program integrates physical activity, balanced nutrition, and consistent mentorship to alleviate key symptoms of PTS, such as anxiety, stress, and mood swings. Expected improvements include better emotional regulation, fewer PTS-related nightmares and flashbacks, and overall enhanced mental well-being.

Outcome 2 | Reduce Suicidal Ideations and Decrease the Veteran Suicide Rate: Suicide prevention aims to reduce suicidal thoughts and attempts among veterans, addressing both direct and indirect factors contributing to these ideations, particularly in those with PTS symptoms.

Outcome 3 | Reduction of Substance Abuse: The program targets a reduction in substance abuse, correlating with a decrease in PTS symptoms. Engaging in physical activities is anticipated to reduce the use of antidepressants, alcohol, and illegal drugs.

Addressing the Root Cause:

By focusing on the underlying issues of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), WarriorWOD is committed to making a lasting impact. Our goal is not only to enhance individual lives but also to contribute to the broader effort to reduce the staggering veteran suicide rate and the number of deaths from substance abuse.
