She Survived Cancer and a Heart Transplant, Then Made History | Dr. Dawn Mussallem

Dr. Dawn Mussallem survived stage 4 cancer, received a heart transplant, and became the first person in history to complete a full marathon just one year later.

Her remarkable story doesn't end there.

After experiencing unimaginable loss, Dawn found new love in the produce aisle—thanks to a purple sweet potato. And after 25 years at Mayo Clinic, she is beginning another major chapter as chief medical officer at Fountain Life.

Dawn joins Chuck Carroll to share her extraordinary journey and the health lessons she has learned along the way.

They discuss:

The difference between longevity and health span
The foods associated with healthier aging
Why fiber may be one of the most overlooked health tools
Protein needs for active adults and people taking GLP-1 medications
The surprising reason Dawn developed prediabetes
How sleep can affect blood sugar
Personalized nutrition and the gut microbiome
Her historic marathon after receiving a heart transplant
Finding new love in the produce aisle
Her major career move after 25 years at Mayo Clinic

Chuck and Dawn will both appear at the Plant Powered Party, September 4–6 in Las Vegas. Explore the complete speaker lineup, schedule, tickets, and current virtual-access information at the link below.
