AFib: Deadlier Than Cancer (But 100% Preventable)

Dr. Peter Rogers — one of the most brilliant medical minds I know - had a new book called Prevent and Reverse Atrial Fibrillation. In this presentation he explains why AFib is one of the deadliest and fastest growing heart conditions today. Here are a few takeaways: AFib is now more common than cancer, and often just as deadly. 50% of patients are dead or demented within 5 years of diagnosis. Conventional medicine rarely addresses the real causes. AFib is largely a disease of modern living: high-fat diets, hypertension, diabetes, stress, toxins, and gut dysfunction. The good news: with the right nutrition and lifestyle, it can often be prevented — and sometimes reversed. This is a powerful, eye-opening talk that could save lives. Please watch and share with anyone you know who is concerned about heart health. Dr. Rogers' book on Afib on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Prevent-Revers...
