Coming Back from Heart Disease - Thanks Mitzi and Pritikin!
An interview with Pritikin gets postponed so I can wakesurf which is possible because of Pritikin. Nice!
After getting the news that "you have a 99% arterial block in your heart" last January 2018, I've worked hard to get my health back.
Mitzi has been my primary source of encouragement, support, motivation, and inspiration.
Pritikin Longevity Center has been my guide for how to do it.
Mary Sussman at Pritikin interviewed me today. She wanted to hear my story so it can be shared with others who have heart disease.
The backstory to the interview: we setup the interview a few weeks ago. Last night my neighbor and friend invited me to go wake-surfing this morning.
It would conflict with the scheduled interview. So I asked Mary if we could push it back a few hours which she accommodated.
I was feeling badly asking Mary to push it back. Mitzi pointed out that thanks to Pritikin I'm healthy enough that I can go wake surfing! Excellent point :)
The picture to this post says it all. I love life. I love living. I'm finding joy in things and have so much gratitude that I have the opportunity to "let in the happiness" and "rebuild a life I love."
I'm so grateful for Pritikin showing me how to stop the heart disease from progressing. And grateful to Mitzi for the encouragement, support, motivation, and inspiration.
