My Exact Daily Protocol for Reversing Heart Disease at 59

I have early atherosclerosis. My calcium score was 63. And I'm not just accepting that — I'm doing something about it, every single day.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my exact protocol: what I eat, how I exercise, what supplements I take, and how I track my progress. This isn't theory. This is what I'm actually doing, living in Paris, France, with a boulangerie on every corner.

I break down my keto-adjacent, heart-healthy approach to eating, why I chose Zone 2 training over high-intensity workouts for vascular repair, the supplements I take and why each one matters, and how I think about all of this — not as a diet or a fitness plan, but as medicine.

I also get into the mindset shift that makes all of this sustainable. Because willpower alone won't get you through a life change this big. Habits will.

And yes — I do address the wine and the cheese. I live in Paris. You knew that was coming.

I Got a Calcium Score of 63. Here's What That Actually Means.

After a smart scale told me my vascular age was 67, I did something most people never do — I got a coronary calcium score test. It's a 30-second CT scan that can tell you exactly how much plaque is in your arteries. No needles, no fasting, no prep. Just answers.

And the answers I got changed everything.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what a coronary calcium score actually is, why your doctor probably hasn't mentioned it, and what it felt like to open that PDF and see my results in black and white. I also get real about the dismissiveness I encountered from people around me when I decided to pursue testing — and why that kind of "I'm sure you're fine" reassurance can be genuinely dangerous for women.

My score was 63. I have early atherosclerosis. I have heart disease. And I caught it before symptoms, before a heart attack, before irreversible damage. Now I'm doing something about it.

If you've ever been told you're probably fine — please listen to this one.

What Your Scale Isn't Telling You (And What Mine Did)

At 59, I thought I was the picture of health — lifetime exerciser, looks great, no symptoms. Then a smart scale revealed something I couldn't see in the mirror: my vascular age was 67. That number sent me down a research rabbit hole, led me to a little-known heart scan most doctors never mention, and ultimately revealed I had early-stage heart disease.

This is the episode that started everything. I'm sharing: 

— what vascular age actually means

— why it matters more than the number most of us obsess over

— what I did instead of panicking — or ignoring it. 

If you're a midlife woman who assumes you're fine because you look fine, this episode is your wake-up call.

They're not even in the room. But still your frenemies are sabotaging your success.

Stuck? It's not because you don’t know what to do.
It's because you’re imagining what your frenemies will think when you do it.

The old coworker.
The fake supporter.
The “friend” who cheered you on… but wanted you to stay small.

Even if they’re not in your comments, they’re still in your head —
Judging. Mocking. Screenshotting your courage and texting it with a passive-aggressive emoji.

👀 In this episode:

• Why “I’m letting things gel” is often fear in disguise
• How business frenemies hijack your next move — without saying a word
• What actually moves your consulting business forward (spoiler: it’s not Canva or another planning doc)

This isn’t about healing.
It’s about calling out the ghosts — and moving anyway.

Bonny Koeber was a practicing anesthesiologist for over 30 years.
She planned to retire.

Instead, she found her purpose — guiding others through legal psilocybin experiences in Oregon.

In this episode, Bonny shares how the loss of her husband sparked a spiritual awakening, why she walked away from medicine at 69, and how she now helps people process trauma, grief, and transformation… sometimes with nothing more than a cup of tea, a handful of mushrooms, and the safety of being witnessed.

This isn’t a story about retirement. It’s a story about remembering who you are — and having the courage to answer what’s next.

Stay to the end, where I share what this conversation opened in me.
No script. Just me.

✅ The two things to know BEFORE a single pixel goes live
