After Being Diagnosed With a Devastating Health Condition at 40, Phil Mickelson’s ‘Good Stuff’ Has Been a Life Changer in the Last 10 Year
The LIV defector, Phil Mickelson surprised the world and performed brilliantly at the 87th edition of the Masters Tournament. People were not expecting him to play at the Masters. But not only did he play, but he finished second tied with Brooks Koepka. He became the oldest golfer to score with the lowest score at the Augusta. The credit goes to his health awakening. A recent blog post reveals when everything changed in Mickelson’s life.
Phil Mickelson owes it to the health awakening
Being an athlete, choosing health every time must be a priority. Therefore, Mickelson started working with his trainer Sean Cochran 20 years ago. Their focus was to provide the golfer with an elongated career, and not just short-term muscle gain. Going on hikes with his wife was also part of his fitness regime, but apparently, that wasn’t enough.
When the former PGA Tour pro turned 40, he was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. It is an inflammatory disease that causes career-threatening damage. However, with his team’s help, the golfer was able to control his diet and follow a proper routine that set him on the path to wellness. And the results are clear to see. He has lost 25 pounds and is healthier than ever. Mickelson became very peculiar about what he put in his body. And from there, a revolution was born.
