Are you worried about your high cholesterol levels and being now at risk for a sudden heart attack or other heart problems? Or, maybe you’ve had one already and don’t know if there will be another one coming. Well, if you’re tired of taking all those heart meds and want a solution…without MORE meds or surgery, listen in to the interview I had with my guest, Paul C.
In this interview (Part 1), Paul shares the symptoms and experience he had of a heart attack at just 40 years of age, with another one only two years later. As a result, he had two stent placements and was also placed on multiple meds, including those for cholesterol, angina and blood pressure. Learn what led him to finally make the change to a plant-based diet lifestyle and some of the positive changes he started experiencing as a result, after just 4 months of starting a whole food plant-based diet!
Listening to his story is such a reminder to me of why early recognition of the warning signs of a heart attack is so important, and of having the right rapid diagnosis and subsequent treatment. It’s also a reminder that heart attacks can happen at any age, not just in later adult years. Listen in and be inspired by this episode!
