Ep 70 The 60 Seconds That Changed My Life - Dr. Mike's Story

Ep 70 — The 60 Seconds That Changed My Life: Dr. Mike’s Story | The Longevity Lounge

Two days after Thanksgiving, a split second changed everything. In this deeply personal episode, we share the day I almost lost my husband, Dr. Mike—the missed warning signs, the scramble for help, and the surprising root cause doctors initially overlooked. This conversation isn’t just our story; it’s a wake-up call about proactive health, advocating for loved ones, and listening when your body (and life) whispers…or shouts.

If you’ve ever thought “I feel fine, so I must be fine,” this episode is for you.
