Honestly, like when I made the changes golf was not even a consideration like I do this for me

I do this for my family if my career continued

Hello and welcome to pursuing health. I'm Dr. Julie Fouche, family physician and former

CrossFit Games athlete. Here I bring you information and inspiration to help bridge the gap

between fitness and medicine and support your journey toward your healthiest self.

In this episode I sit down with three time PGA tour winner Scott Stallings.

Scott's story was especially interesting to me because even though he's played as a professional

golfer since 2010 he struggled with sleep, excess weight and lack of energy which were all

compounded by his grueling travel schedule. When he saw a physician and discovered some lab abnormalities

he eventually hit his breaking point. He decided enough was enough and he started making some

huge lifestyle changes. From correcting a sinus problem that was causing sleep apnea to cleaning

up his diet and incorporating CrossFit into his training regimen over time Scott developed

strategies to stay on track even though his career has him on the road more days than he is home.

He's now lost over 40 pounds and his health is better than ever. I really enjoyed getting to know

Scott and learning about how he was able to make such big lifestyle changes as well as the impact

they've had on his personal health and happiness but also on his loved ones. Before we dive into

this episode I do want to make it clear that this podcast is for general information only and does

not provide medical advice. I recommend that you seek assistance from your personal physician for

any health conditions or concerns and with that let's get started with the episode.
