On this week’s Episode I chat to Mickey Coleman, a well-known &respected Tyrone man living in New York for 10 years. Mickey has two All Ireland Football Medals with Tyrone from 2003 and 2005, and is still very involved in the GAA here in New York with his club. Rockland.

When he moved to New York Mickey met his now wife Erin, and the pair have two gorgeous young sons. Mickey and Erin are both musicians and Erin runs her own School of Irish Music & Arts. On top of all of that, Mickey owns his own construction company Shoreline Builders and has navigated his journey in New York very impressively.

However, just 5 months ago everything changed for Mickey when he suffered what’s known as a widow maker heart attack, a form of heart attack with only a 6% survival rate .At just 41 years of age and a very fit and healthy father of 2,  the heart attack completely changed Mickey's approach to life.

We chat about what Mickey calls a spiritual awakening, and a new approach to life that encompasses 3 main areas of wellness, physical, mental and spiritual. Mickey’s recovery and heart functionality has stumped his doctors and he tells me why he thinks a plant based diet is medicine for the body.  

Mickey and Erin have set up an Instagram page called @heartyplantbasedfood which is an account full of food recipes they believe will change your Health & Wellbeing. 

We chat about all of this but not before I get Mickey’s predictions on the All-Ireland Final this Saturday between Tyrone and Mayo!

I hope you enjoy!
