Your game changed and you don’t know why. You didn’t change your swing. You didn’t stop practicing. But somewhere after 40, the distance started going. Your focus disappears on the back nine. You’re tired walking the 15th when you used to finish strong at 18. Your confidence drops after a couple of bad holes and doesn’t come back. Here’s what nobody in golf is telling you: the problem isn’t your swing. It’s your body. Hosted by Dr. Amy Garza, MD, a board-certified physician, hormone specialist, and former collegiate golfer now competing again in midlife, this podcast connects what’s happening in your body to what’s happening on the course. With over a decade of clinical experience optimizing hormones, metabolism, and performance, Dr. Garza brings real medicine into a space that has been dominated by swing tips and guesswork. Each episode starts with what you’re experiencing in your game -- loss of distance, back nine fatigue, inconsistency, mental collapse -- and breaks down what’s actually driving it. Hormones, metabolism, nervous system regulation, sleep, and recovery all show up on the course long before they show up in a lab. You’ll learn why golfers in their 40s, 50s, and beyond often feel like they’re getting worse despite doing everything right, and what it takes to actually reverse that. This isn’t just about playing better. It’s about understanding how your body is changing in midlife and how that impacts your energy, focus, confidence, sex drive, and long-term health. You’ll also hear the conversation most golf and health spaces avoid; how these changes affect your relationship. When one partner’s health shifts, both people feel it, on and off the course. This podcast covers topics like hormone optimization, testosterone and estrogen, metabolic health, body composition, nutrition for golf performance, recovery, sleep, and longevity, always grounded in real scenarios from the course. From the first tee to the back nine to the 19th hole, you’ll start to see your game differently, because you’ll understand your body differently. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking... *How can I maintain my focus throughout an entire round? *How can I increase my distance off the tee without changing my swing? *How can I stay mentally sharp and focused on the back 9? *What can I do to consistently lower my scores and improve my performance? *How can I optimize my body and feel my best after 40? *How can I boost my energy, mood, and sex drive as I age? *What do hormones have to do with physical performance? *How can I leverage my health to enhance my performance on the course? *Are my sex life and my golf game connected? *How can I perform at my peak in midlife? *How can my diet help improve my performance on the golf course? *What’s the best way to fuel myself during a round to maintain energy and focus? *How can I make walking the course more beneficial for my health and overall game? *How can I make golf part of a consistent exercise and fitness routine? *How can I prevent injuries and stay healthy while playing and training for golf? You’re in the right place. Follow the podcast and never miss an episode.© 2026 Amy Garza MD. All rights reserved. ゴルフ 個人的成功 自己啓発 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患
