    Dr. Bridget: “How to enhance your golf game from the inside out” 

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Golf season is in full swing!

    In Ontario, we have a short golf season, so golfers need to make the most of their rounds and, of course, their game. For many, golf is more than just a sport—it’s an experience that goes beyond the greens and fairways, requiring both physical and mental well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, let me share how your body might need support during this golf season and for many more to come.

    While golf is a low-impact activity, it can be lengthy, requiring you to walk in the sun and heat for extended periods. Optimizing your hydration both on and off the course is crucial, as dehydration can affect your mood, stamina, and alertness. 

    Each swing engages different muscle groups, which requires  muscle strength and flexibility. Muscle growth begins in the kitchen—nutrition habits and macronutrient intake, especially protein, are key to building and maintaining muscle mass. If you’re a 60-year-old golfer alongside your 30-year-old friend, you have different nutritional needs. Avoiding muscle loss with aging is essential for your overall health, longevity, and golf game!

    If you feel exhausted after nine holes or rely on vitamin A (Advil) after 18 due to body pain, stiff joints, headaches, or repeated physical injuries, there’s likely a reason.  The body speaks to us when there’s physiological dysfunction; when health isn’t optimal, you feel it. For you golfers, I bet it’s impacting your game. The good news is there is absolutely a solution, let’s optimize your body from the inside out, so you can feel and play your best this season and for the next ten seasons.
