Show Notes

At the age of 60, Steve Ault faced a Parkinson's diagnosis and the option of Levodopa for symptom management. Rejecting only temporary relief, he spiraled into depression until a chance meeting with Bahram in August 2017 offered hope for a healthy life at 120. Encouraged by his family, Steve underwent a radical transformation, altering his diet, practicing extended fasting, and engaging in rigorous mountain biking. Within a year, he completed the challenging Leadville Trail 100 MTB Race, conquering a 100-mile course with 12,000 feet of climb at over 10,000 feet elevation in under 12 hours, earning a coveted buckle. Now 70, Steve has triumphed in multiple Leadville races, accumulating biking miles and effectively reversing his Parkinson's symptoms in a truly miraculous journey of resilience and transformation.

Kyle also reveals a new sport for this years Games: climbing.
