Tom Willard from Minnesota suffered his heart attack on October 16th, 2024 and as a flight attendant for a major airline realizes how fortunate he is that he wasn’t working and in the air when his heart attack symptoms suddenly appeared. Thanks to his experience working as an X-ray technician, Tom quickly recognized his symptoms and was able to not only get himself quickly to the ER, but he was able to clearly articulate what he was experiencing which quite likely saved his life!

Like many, Tom struggled in the early days, but after some advice from a friend who had also had a near death experience, Tom realized his heart attack was a chance to completely transform his life and well being as he now is fully living a whole food plant based lifestyle!

On this weeks Episode I’m honored to share the conversation I had with Dr. Akil Taher who is still a practicing physician and who in 2009 at the age of 61 discovered he had cardiovascular disease that would require cardiac bypass surgery!

Incredibly only a year later he ran his first full marathon and followed it up a year later by climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!

Dr. Taher now lives a fully plant-based vegan lifestyle and has used his experience to educate thousands by helping them understand there is a way out of the grips of chronic illness and disease. Dr. Taher believes that what you eat is the most important pillar of the 6 pillars of Lifestyle medicine.

In this episode I pick up where I left off in the last episode after safely getting out of Nicaragua during the attempted Coup and into Honduras. Once I was safely in Honduras I could breath again and let out a huge sigh of relief and was free to continue on my solo journey back in to Mexico and onward to Mexico City to explore a friendship that had become romantic with Mexican Socialite Claudia Padilla who I had met on my first trip through Mexico City on my way south to Costa Rica.

After an afternoon showing my Moto some love (gave her a much needed and thorough cleaning) I felt inspired to talk about my 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 that I took on my solo trip all the way from Toronto to Costa Rica and then back to California where she and I now reside.

All in all, we visited 9 Countries, 21 states and 6 Provinces!

Oh the stories she would tell if she could talk!

I hope this story inspires you, I hope it motivates to trust your intuition and I hope it inspires you to “Face Your Fear, Learn its Name and Love it out of YOU!!”

Much Love!
B
