Life coach Fernando Flores joins the podcast this week to discuss setting goals, gratitude and so much more as we delve deeper into ways to heal the heart by giving it what it needs. 

In this episode we dive into smoking and its destructive impact on the heart. We are joined by Jenn Levin of Modern Hypnotherapy to guide us through a cessation technique that you may not have tried yet. 

Samantha Cassetty, MS RD, joins the show to talk about sugar and its impact on our health. Samantha contributed to the new book, Sugar Shock, which focuses on healthy swaps to kicking the sugar overdose that so many of us suffer from. 

Season Two debuts with a chat about booze and its impact on the heart. We cover what drinking does to our most vital of organs, and get a chance to talk with Kate Bee from The Sober School to get into some of her tips to ditch the pints and wine glasses. 

We bring in a special guest to ask your questions and put some finishing touches on Season One and look forward to Season Two of the Gorey Bypass Podcast. 

In the Season Finale of the origin story we start the long journey after leaving Vassar Brothers and going it on our own in "Going Home."

In episode five of the primer we say goodbye to the ICU and get cozy in the Step Down unit at Vassar Brothers. 

In part four of the origin story we delve into what its really like in the ICU after open heart surgery. From tubes stuck into every crevice of my body to a setback or two along the way, we touch on it all. 

This week we explore the post surgery weekend, beginning with an otherworldly experience and ending with some hope. The recovery from open heart surgery, in my case, was slow. This episode is not.
