Fasting with Phil Mickelson

Fasting with Phil Mickelson

Author: GOLF.com January 20, 2020 Duration: 22:27
This week's episode dives into the weird world of fasting with Phil Mickelson. Sean Zak completed a 6-day fast with Mickelson as his coach, following the footsteps of a fast Mickelson did this summer, putting his body through a "hard reset." We break down the highs and lows of the fast and answer a number of questions readers had for recreating the fast on their own.
