Lewis Crook - From Autoimmune Disease to Ironman Triathlons: Recent Episodes
Lewis Crook
Hey, welcome to my podcast dedicated to sharing all of the knowledge, tools and techniques around health and mindset that have helped me go from being in hospital in 2020 with an autoimmune disease, unable to walk, to 2022 being able to complete two Ironman 70.3 Triathlons in under 7 hours.
Each episode is less than 5 minutes, but packed full of information on exactly how I fixed my health and became the strongest, fittest, healthiest version of myself at age 34.

My sleep used to be so bad.
I remember the first time I wore the Oura Ring & was shocked by how bad my sleep was.
I used to be tired all the time, never had energy and sleep was a consistently painful experience.
This podcast explains the healthy lifestyle changes I made to fix my sleep.
I hope it helps!

Knowing that I couldn't get a diagnosis meant that I had to start researching to become my own expert.
This led me to my first major lifestyle change, nutrition.
First of all, I ordered a huge list of private blood tests. And the results shocked me. I had a ton of deficiencies.
- Iron
- Iodine
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12
- Calcium
- Vitamin A
- Magnesium
The list went on...
Up until this point, I had been mostly vegetarian, and I felt terrible.
My research showed me that most of the nutrients I was deficient in were easily bioavailable in meat.
I, therefore, took the extreme measure of completely switching to the Carnivore Diet for 1 month. Yes, meat only.
The results were profoundly positive...

After I exhausted my efforts of a diagnosis with my GP & the best specialist across Australia & Europe - Only then did I decide to take my health & my recovery into my own hands and focus on creating healthier habits & a healthier lifestyle.
However, if I had taken ownership sooner, instead of waiting for a diagnosis before taking action, I could have begun reversing my autoimmune disease over 1 year sooner. I would of at least started to feel A LOT better, A LOT sooner, too.
My advice: Do not delay in making changes to live a healthier lifestyle. The benefits are there in waiting. Don't let a diagnosis, or lack of one, prevent you from starting TODAY with building a better lifestyle

A victim story: A negative narrative that we keep on telling ourselves so often, that it has become a part of our identity.
"I am always sick".
"I am always fatigued".
"I am always in pain".
"I will never fix my autoimmune disease".
These things might not be wrong, but by making them our leading story they in some way, become a self-fulfilling prophecy & hold us back from committing to REAL & POSITIVE CHANGE.
So, what's your victim story & how is it holding you back?
The moment I dropped mine & took action, my life blossomed into what it is now. Healthy, strong, pain-free, energetic, well-rested, anxiety-free & stress-tolerant.
Yours can, too. If you are willing?

Almost everyone complains about their health, how tired they are, how they want to lose weight, have energy, sleep better, etc. But most people NEVER make the necessary lifestyle changes to accomplish their "dreams".
Why is that? It's a lack of willingness to change.
Why would we lack willingness? Because the PAIN of staying the same is less than the perceived pain of CHANGE.
Please do not leave it as late as I did to create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
Ask yourself - How badly do you want to achieve your health goals?
