In this episode I talk to Gokul Krishna. Gokul shares his journey of recovering from a debilitating health condition through naturopathy and diet intervention. From not being able to do anything due to his illness to signing up for his first triathlon 70.3 and successfully finishing it at Ironman Goa 70.3 within an year is quite a feat of determination and courage. It was inspiring to listen to his health transformation and triathlon journey.

About the podcast:
The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
