In an interview with Golf Digest, he revealed, “I ended up doing that and continue to do it to this day. I drink coffee all day long and in the last ten years, I have not been sick a single day. So, it has changed my life in that regard and it has helped me control any type of ailments that I may have.”
“The last 10 days I’ve done what I call a hard reset, to change and try to make things better. I have lost 15 pounds. I’ve done a six-day fast with water and a special coffee blend for wellness that I’ve been working on with Dave Phillips, and went on a bit of a retreat.”
