Descripción

It’s not your swing. It’s your body. Welcome to Playing for Life: Golf, Hormones, & Midlife Performance, the podcast that connects what’s happening in your body to what’s happening on the course. Hosted by Amy Garza, MD -- physician, hormone specialist, former collegiate golfer, and aspiring competitive golfer in midlife -- this show brings real medicine into the golf conversation. If your distance is changing, your energy drops on the back nine, your focus feels harder to maintain, your confidence doesn’t recover after a bad hole, or you just don’t feel like yourself after 40, this podcast will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you. Each episode explores the role of hormones, metabolism, sleep, recovery, nervous system regulation, sexual health, longevity, and midlife performance -- all through the lens of the game you love. Your pro can help with your swing. Your doctor can check your labs. This podcast connects the two. Follow Playing for Life so you don’t an episode!
