BTB: Jane Wilkens Michael: Heart to Heart

Jane Wilkens Michael Better Than Before

Bob Harper talks coronary health - Jane’s guest today is Bob Harper, one of the most successful lifestyle experts in the world, with numerous New York Times best sellers on health and fitness to his credit. But even given his incredible fitness level, that we all saw in the sixteen seasons that he was a star trainer on the hit show, The Biggest Loser, he suffered a nearly fatal (but for the CPR skill of an adjacent exerciser!) coronary episode that forever changed his life. On this segment, Bob speaks openly with Jane about how his road to recovery has evolved over the years since his heart attack, and what it looks like today. To that end, he will discuss what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, including advice for eating right and having heart healthy workouts, such as his personal favorite, hot yoga, which he now even teaches. Bob will also discuss his involvement with Survivors Have Heart, a national movement that uses the power of patient stories to engage heart attack survivors and their loved ones, while supporting those who may be at risk of another episode and why he launched the Survivors Have Heart Community (a national network of heart attack survivors and loved ones) over five years ago. All in all, Bob’s inspirational story will educate and inspire others to become Better Than Before.
