Featured Interview with former MLB Pitcher Shawn Tolleson
Wednesday Jul 21, 2021
Wednesday Jul 21, 2021
Shawn Tolleson is a former Major League baseball player with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers. Shawn is most remembered for the 2015 season in which he served as the closer for the Texas Rangers. He finished the season with 35 saves and led Major League baseball with 22 saves after the All-Star break. He helped lead the Rangers to an improbable post-season appearance that year and finished 10th in Cy Young voting.
No, Shawn was never an All-Star on the field. But he was an overcomer. He is no stranger to adversity. Shawn was raised on 3 key principles.
1. You CAN do ANYTHING
2. ADVERSITY is a TREASURE 3.
3. GOD has a PURPOSE
Now retired from the game of baseball, Shawn has become an entrepreneur, pursuing his passion for proactive, preventative health.
Shawn began Tolleson Health Advisors under the idea that knowledge without action is useless. He continually saw individuals who knew the changes that needed to be made, but were never provided with the necessary guidance, coaching, accountability, and encouragement to be successful.
Shawn’s own health journey began during his Major League Baseball career. He reached a point in his career where the same foods and exercises just weren’t cutting it anymore. He experienced lack of energy, chronic pain and inflammation, and began to gain weight.
Tolleson Health Advisors partners with individuals to turn-back-the-clock on their health through a combination of ancestral practices and modern technologies. They cover topics like food, hydration, sleep, stress-management, genetics, exercise, environmental toxins, and more. The goal of his programs is to harmoniously blend modern societal norms with natural biological rhythms.
