I Had a Heart Attack at 40. I'm a Cardiologist. Here's What I Changed.
At 40, Dr. Marcum was standing at the top of a black diamond run in Colorado when an artery in his heart clamped shut. No nitroglycerin, no cell phone, no other skiers coming down. He was a cardiologist having a heart attack, and for years only a few close friends knew.
In this conversation, Nick Evenson sits down with Dr. Marcum to talk about his new book, The Creator's Code, and the story behind it. Dr. Marcum starts with a patient he treated that same afternoon, a woman whose blood pressure had dropped to 60, and uses her case to explain why finding the primary cause of a problem matters more than chasing the secondary ones. From there he walks through how the book is built: meet the urgent need first, decide who your authority on health really is, understand what is stressing and inflaming the body, and then apply the natural remedies God has already given us — worship, water, nutrition, movement, sunlight, and rest.

He also shares why he won't sell a supplement, what he has seen in patients who put these steps into practice, and the scripture he keeps coming back to: "For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, says the LORD." (Jeremiah 30:17)
If you or someone you love is facing heart disease or another chronic condition, this one's for you.
