Blindsided by a Health Scare

Hi, I'm wellness coach Lisa Lounsbury, and you're listening to another episode of Your Wellness. In this episode, I have an impromptu talk at a local coffee shop in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, with successful entrepreneur Mike Mayhew.

While golfing in Florida a few months ago, Mike experienced chest pains that felt like heartburn, which turned out to be an unexpected heart attack. In our coffee shop chat, Mike opens up about his experience, how he was blindsided by this health scare, and what he's quickly learned about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and consistent healthy habits.

Mike was an early adopter of my methodology of Making Wellness a Priority and is a huge advocate for the lessons he's learned from my book. He attributes his ability to make small but significant changes to his lifestyle to reading my book and encourages others to get their hands on Making Wellness a Priority, by yours truly.
