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.

In the ‘For Wellness’ blog it was mentioned, “Dave and Phil’s idea to start For Wellness was born from this mission… helping people get good stuff into their bodies to live healthier lives.” Good Stuff is a performance coffee supplement that gives the natural benefits of morning coffee. It promotes focus and reduces caffeine jitters. The six-time major Championship winner has added “The Good Stuff” to his coffee for 10 years. His health is supported by the natural antioxidants in coffee, and the anti-inflammatory properties of The Good Stuff have helped Mickelson’s arthritis.

When a reporter praised him for his leaner look, the 52-year-old professional golfer revealed he lost 25 pounds before the Masters Tournament. The three-time Masters champion Mickelson shared details of his change. He said, “I stopped eating food, that was a big help.” By stopping eating, he meant intermittent fasting. But that was not it.

He worked on his fitness and diet also to lose weight. His entire team is dedicated to working on his health. According to the blog, “Phil’s brother and caddie, Tim, keeps his golf bag topped up with healthy snacks, including our Superfood Energy Bites and, for the first time this week, our new Recovery Gummies.” Therefore it is safe to say that ‘For Wellness’ co-owned by Dave Phillips and Phil Mickelson also worked wonders for him.
