Mike Anthony is a location manager in Hollywood for movies, a demanding line of work that had taken its toll on his health. One day, right before he dropped his son off at daycare, he experienced a heart attack resulting in his heart-stopping.

It was so bad that three stents had to be placed in Mike's right coronary. Mike's Cardiologist was surprised that he was somehow able to survive his whole ordeal. As a result of the heart attack, Mike had to take 5 different medications every day. After a while, Mike grew tired of taking drugs and wanted to discover a natural solution to his cardiac illness.

That is when he saw Dr. Esselstyn's book 'Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease' which ultimately started him down the plant-based path. After switching to a whole food plant-based diet, Mike lost 70 pounds, stopped all five meds, and became a marathon runner!

Now he's been plant-based for 15 years and has never felt better!
