Biggest Loser Bob Harper has heart attack

Had it at a gym - lost consciousness for two days - had to be revived - said it is genetic in his family.

He is only 51. He seems to be very fit but said he has the genetics for heart disease. His mom died from heart disease. I hope he makes a full recovery...

As Dr Pam Popper says (She is a leading plant based doctor), genetics load the gun, but diet pulls the trigger.   I am about 110% certain He consumes a low carb diet rich in saturated fat from animals and dairy.  Hope He turns his diet around and can make a full recovery

It is rough when you have a strong family history of heart issues.  And worse when people BLAME you for it!

That's shocking. 

 

I hope he makes a full recovery.  It's so scary to hear of things like that.

ITA!  It is like when people get lung cancer....first thing you are asked is Did You Smoke?  It is automatically assumed that you did it to yourself.  So wrong!
