I Spent 20 Years in Pharma Studying Heart Disease. Then I Had a Heart Attack.

I spent over 20 years working inside the pharmaceutical industry —
studying medicines, diseases, and treatment plans, and working
alongside cardiologists, physicians, diabetologists, and surgeons.
I knew how heart disease developed. I knew the risk factors.
I knew the warning signs.

On the 16th of March 2023, I had a major heart attack at 45.

This is my story. And I am sharing it because I want it to mean
something for you — whether you think you are at risk or not.
Especially if you think you are not.
