Ep. 16 | Reducing Meds & Heart Disease with a Plant-Based Diet – Interview with Paul (Part 1)

Are you worried about high cholesterol levels and being now at risk for a sudden heart attack and other heart problems? Or maybe you’ve already had one 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 this interview I had with my guest, Paul C.

In interview Part 1, Paul shares the symptoms and experience he had of a heart attack at only 40 years of age, with a subsequent one just two years later. As a result, he had two stent placements and was also placed on multiple medications, 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!

Paul’s story is such a good reminder of the importance of recognizing the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack early, and of how crucial it is to have prompt medical treatment to prevent worse outcomes. It’s also a reminder that heart attacks can happen at any time, not just in much later adult years, so it’s paramount to make the right diet and lifestyle choices NOW so that better health can be enjoyed now AND into the future.
