On today’s episode, I’m joined by the founder of Tolleson Health Advisors, Shawn Tolleson. Shawn is a former Major League Baseball player who felt stalled out in his health journey, battling lack of energy, chronic pain and inflammation, and weight gain. We discuss how Shawn discovered functional medicine solutions and reversed the effects of his years as a pro athlete. We also talk about going against the norm for raising a family and his top recommendations for optimizing your health. 

After discovering out-of-the-box approaches that helped crack the code of his genetics, nutrient deficiencies and sleep patterns, Shawn says that he feels better at 34 than he did at 24. Shawn started his company two and a half years ago with the mission to help his clients feel the same and turn back the clock on their health. 

His wellness breakthrough also led to rethinking how he and his wife wanted to raise their family. Shawn and I discuss the pressures that parents face to overextend themselves and their children with activities and how to instead slow down, reconnect, and consider the bigger picture.

Listen in to learn more about how Shawn redefined his ‘why’ for taking care of his health and his  favorite tools and practices for longevity.
