Episode 4
In today's episode, I discuss with Physician and author Dr. Akil Taher on his book, Open Heart.
Being diagnosed with heart disease, and at the age of 61 having open-heart surgery, led to his awakening and thirst for a new beginning. Running marathons and climbing mountains all thanks to becoming vegan!
We discuss how heart disease affects many around the world including more younger adults, the correlation of heart disease and South Asians, probiotics may not work like you think it's doing, gut health, and diet!
