You might think that diet and exercise are the best ways to avoid a heart attack.

And yes that research is well understood. But this another way. This is to be aware of the environments that can either help or harm your heart. Do you know that your heart is under attack every day by hidden threats that you cannot see in your environment? This is what my new book Optimize Your Heart Rate is all about. In it I tell the story of my life-long friend Leslie’s sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 63. I want you to know what Leslie didn’t know. By the end of the book you will know how to use green space and your own heart rate numbers to: avoid these hidden threats, protect your heart, know when your heart is in danger and what to do about it. I wrote this book so that what happened to Leslie does not happen to you—so that you can live your best life possible.
