What if golf changed your life in ways you never expected? In this episode, Dr Lucy Burns chats with Rebecca Laut, a woman who picked up golf in her 30s and found far more than a hobby. Rebecca shares how getting out on the course helped her stay active while managing PCOS and insulin resistance, and how combining movement, lifestyle changes, and a GLP-1 medication led to something she never thought possible: a healthy pregnancy. You will also hear about her female-founded golf apparel brand Clubdayze, why 60% of new golfers in Australia are now women, and why golf might just be the best lifestyle medicine you have never tried. A great listen for any woman who thinks golf is not for her.
