On December 12th I suffered a major heart attack. It was absolutely horrifying. I spent a week in the ICU and just got out 4 days ago. I had NO SYMPTOMS except extreme fatigue. No chest pains....nada. I called my best friend (who happens to be a nurse) and he rushed me to the hospital. I was in full cardio arrest by the time I arrived. They put two stents in the ventricles leading to the upper chamber of my heart. It was horrifying.
I have decided to set aside a big part of my practice (as many of you know I am a professional counselor) to educating young men (and women) who often do not have the "typical symptoms" to never ignore them and to get help no matter what.
I am teaming up with the American Heart Association to use their curriculum and reach out to those who they call the "atypical victims." It was terrifying but I am so grateful for the important things in such as friends like you.
So please, in addition to donating to your favorite charity, (or in place of your usual charity this year) could you possibly donate as much or as little as possible to this cause to get out the word to "atypiclal victicms" of heart attacks in conjunction with the American Heart Association.
I want EVERYONE to understand thr risks involved in not seeking medical advice immediately.
-Did you know that women often have very differenet or even NO signs of a potentail heart attack?
-Did you know that people under the age of 50 often have NO sign of a heart attack except extreme fatigue and some have NO symptoms whatsoever.
I was one of the the lucky ones and was spared my life.
100% of the proceeds will go towards advertisting and getting the word out. I am also going to be running free groups and webinars and will not make any clients pay for any of this information.
Thank you so much for your support! Whether it's $5 or $100 it would mean the world to me.
I am so grateful for my life this holiday season. And thank you so much for your support.
All my love and Happy Holidays everyone!!
Best,
Jeff
