Five-Stone Weight Loss Transforms Darts Player's Career
14 Nov
Summary
- Darts player Cameron Menzies lost five stone for health reasons.
- He faced a frightening medical incident due to high blood pressure.
- Menzies has since won two PDC ProTour titles.
Darts player Cameron Menzies has made a significant comeback after facing career-threatening health issues and undergoing a substantial five-stone weight loss. An operation for a hand injury sustained last December, followed by a medical emergency during a match where his blood pressure soared over 200, prompted a focus on his health.
Menzies discovered he had an ectopic heartbeat and was advised to lose weight before considering medication. He now dedicates himself to fitness, primarily through jogging, which benefits his physical and mental health. This personal journey mirrors a growing trend in professional darts, with many players prioritizing fitness and adopting healthier lifestyles.
Despite initial concerns about regaining feeling in his hands after surgery, Menzies has fully recovered. He has enjoyed a successful season, securing two PDC ProTour titles and demonstrating a calmer demeanor on stage, attributed partly to sports psychology and hypnotherapy. He is now preparing for the Grand Slam of Darts, motivated by both his improved health and the life-changing prize money in the sport.
