What happens when a world champion cowboy, raised between the grit of the inner city and the rugged life of a ranch, faces his toughest opponent yet—his own failing health?

In this episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West sits down with Tyson Durfey, a rodeo legend and former world champion calf roper, to explore his incredible journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of his sport—only to be blindsided by a mysterious health crisis after retirement.

Tyson opens up about the relentless work ethic instilled by his no-nonsense rancher father, the pivotal moment that introduced him to personal development through a stolen Tony Robbins cassette, and the years of sacrifice and perseverance that defined his rodeo success. But when chronic fatigue, heart issues, and gut problems took him down, Tyson found himself in unfamiliar territory—searching for answers the traditional medical system couldn’t provide.

This episode is more than a story about rodeo. It’s about setbacks, identity, grit, and the unshakable belief that healing is possible. If you’ve ever struggled with your health or needed a reminder that resilience can rewrite your story, Tyson’s journey will inspire you to get back in the saddle again.
