What is this blog all about?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Lisa Kilby. I’m 55 and a heart patient. I had bypass surgery in 2024. I’ll do a whole post about my experience soon. But I found a book that I read and am applying and want to document the results and feeling as I follow it. It was written by a cardiologist.  This is how this will work. I am going to list the summary of the chapter and what I have applied and how things went. I may take a week or two weeks to complete the chapter, but I will always post updates weekly telling you where I am and how things are going.  This is not medical advice. I am simply sharing my experiences with you in applying the information in this book written by a professional cardiologist.  I plan on discussing this with my husband and sharing with you our journey to regain health. There will be ups and downs. There will be frustration and joys. Hopefully there will be major wins as well as better health and quality of life.  Come along with me and Mike ...

It all started when I went into a social media space called Skool. I found a cardiologist that had a group there. His name is Heeraj Bulluck. He is well known in his area and really impressed me with his answers to my questions. His simple but profound guidance truely has helped me.  You see I had bypass surgery in the summer of 2024.

Then bought the paperback.  My goal is that by the end of the year I want to have great heart health.  Currently I have some high cholesterol. Total is 199. But my bad cholesterol is 107 and should be under 100. My triglycerides are still over 200. A1C is 9.  I am taking each chapter of this book and applying it to my daily life.  One with my husband we are going to talk and apply this to our lives. You will hear about the easy parts, the hard parts and the struggles we have. Also we will give...

My bypass experience.

Stats 53 year old woman with type 2 diabetes Overweight most of her life. About 40 pounds overweight at the time Having fatigue, chest pressure and dizziness. Not active Doesn’t eat well High stress lifestyle raising grandkids.      The beginning or the end depending on how you look at it     I went to my general practitioner and she knew I had a heart murmur but told me she just wanted to check it out a little more with an EKG. That was fine with me. Right after the EKG she set up appointment with a cardiologist. Something was off. I had been a little dizzy and some pressure in my chest but I didn’t think it was a problem.       Upon leaving my first appointment with the cardiologist, I had appointments for stress test, echocardiogram and some other test. I didn’t pass. I was very upset. The cardiologist told me they needed to do a test where they check for blockages. They may even do stents if necessary. While not ideal, we knew that it was...
