Once he got into discipline and commitment, it was like an avalanche.This transformation wasn't just about physical appearance; it also changed the tour culture. It went from revolving around alcohol and drugs to focusing on good eating, exercising, and emotional check-ins with the crew every day.Working with a Nutritionist
