Welcome to the Work Hard Play Hard 12 Days of Christmas countdown! We’re approaching the end of the year and getting focused on our goals and what we want to do in 2020, so I’m replaying the interviews that I think have had the most impact. 

This is a replay of my episode with best-selling author, fellow podcaster and sleep and nutrition expert Shawn Stevenson. 

Shawn was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease in his early 20s. The doctor told him there was no cure and, six weeks later, Shawn found himself with chronic debilitating pain. 2.5 years later he decided he had to make a decision to change his life and started researching nutrition and wellness. Today he’s in better shape than ever and helps others create the body and life that they want.
