What if a life-threatening health crisis could transform not just your body, but your spirit as well?

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Peggy Lindsay, heart transplant survivor and author of "My Beat Goes On," as she recounts her extraordinary journey. Peggy opens up about her family's history of heart disease and the unexpected health scare at age 51 that led her to seek a second opinion, ultimately revealing the urgent need for a heart transplant. Her story underscores the power of proactive medical care and the compelling need for firsthand patient narratives, a gap she aims to fill through her book.

Listen to Peggy's gripping account of her medical journey, where her healthcare surrogate battled to get her the advanced care she needed, leading to a timely diagnosis of cardiogenic shock. She shares the emotional crossroads between opting for hospice care and choosing the rigorous path to a heart transplant—a choice she made thanks to her daughter's unwavering support and the exceptional team at Tampa General. From navigating the trials of surgery and recovery to discussing the intriguing phenomena of cellular memory and heightened intuition, Peggy's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of modern medicine.
