The Greg Bennett Show

Dr. Joseph Maroon - Finding Balance - Physical, Spiritual, Social, Work


Listen Later

In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg has a wonderful conversation with Dr. Joseph Maroon.
 
Dr. Joseph Maroon is one of the most accomplished people I’ve had the pleasure of having on the show. Neurosurgeon, Professor, Triathlete, and Author.
 
As a neurosurgeon. He has an international referral base, including numerous professional athletes and celebrities.
 
As a Sports medicine expert. He’s been the team neurosurgeon for the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers for 30 years and the first neurosurgeon directly appointed to the NFL. He’s the Co-developer of ImPACT, a neurocognitive test that is now the standard of care for concussion management in the NFL, NHL, MLB, and NASCAR.
 
He’s a renowned author of 7 books. His most recent, which we’ll be discussing today is called Square One - A simple guide to a balanced Life.
 
And he’s Triathlete – 8-time Ironman athlete including 5 Kona IM World Championships.
 
In this episode, Dr. Maroon shares his journey from riding high with success in his chosen profession of a neurosurgeon to losing everything. To finding Triathlon, and how Triathlon literally saved his life, and how he was able to rebuild himself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
 
He concludes by sharing what he feels are the most important things in life. He asks himself, what are the three most important things in life? He says:
 
1. A healthy mind and a healthy body
2. Relationships - God, Family, and Friends
3. Carpe Diem - Latin for "seize the day"
 
Dr. Maroon is living what he's sharing. He is living life with vigor, he is seizing the day, and is he truly inspiring.
