His story is a powerful testament of    - a personal growth, mindset and change.    Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017, Scott faced debilitating symptoms that impacted his daily life, including muscle rigidity, tremors, and intense sleep disturbances. Rather than resigning to a progressive decline, he took an unconventional route, combining high-intensity physical and cognitive exercises to effectively “train his brain” and regain control. Through CrossFit, Scott found a program that paired physical intensity with cognitive challenge, dramatically reversing his symptoms and leaving him 95% symptom-free—an outcome that has amazed his neurologists.  Scott delves into his transformative journey from his initial Parkinson’s diagnosis to becoming 95% symptom-free, challenging traditional medical expectations along the way. He shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his mindset, the unconventional methods he adopted—like combining CrossFit and cognitive exercises—and the impact of these practices on his life. This conversation covers Scott's belief in the power of mindset, the importance of self-advocacy in health, and his hope to inspire others facing chronic illness to redefine their potential.   Check out the documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/btCAoAjSAc8?si=jq464PgOLHkiDkjL
