00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:04.639
Has life felt different since your heart attack or since someone you love had one?
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.440
A heart attack changes more than a heart.
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.199
It changes the lives of everyone it touches.
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:18.000
You've just survived a heart attack, or maybe someone you love has, and suddenly life feels different.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:23.440
Or perhaps you're living with the constant fear that a heart attack could happen.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:31.359
Even though you've been given advice, it often feels overwhelming, confusing, or impossible to apply in real life.
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:40.479
I'm Louisa Holzberg, a heart health coach, founder of Wingspan Wellness, and this is Thrive After a Heart Attack.
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:50.320
This show is for you if you want to feel safe in your body again after a heart attack, or if you're supporting someone you love through their recovery.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:58.880
Because a heart attack doesn't just affect one person, it impacts spouses, partners, family members, and caregivers too.
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:08.879
Too many people are left trying to navigate nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and the emotional impact of recovery on their own.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.280
That's where we shift things.
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:18.159
Toward calm, clarity, and realistic steps that fit into a full, busy life.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:32.959
I'm a National Board certified health and wellness coach, a certified medical exercise specialist, a heart and math coach and trainer, and I bring over a decade of experience in cardiac rehabilitation as an exercise specialist.
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:44.959
I've worked with people at every stage of recovery and cardiovascular risk, helping them rebuild confidence in their bodies, strengthen healthy habits, and move forward with hope.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:02:01.040
Each week, we'll explore what truly supports heart health: heart healthy nutrition, restorative sleep, safe and effective movement, and the mental and emotional fitness that helps quiet fear and reduce overwhelm.
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.439
We'll also talk about how loved ones and caregivers can support recovery while caring for themselves.
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:18.639
Instead of overwhelming medical jargon or conflicting advice, you'll receive practical step-by-step strategies you can actually use in your everyday life.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:27.199
As I like to say, I help you fly from your branch of illness to your branch of physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.800
New episodes are released every Wednesday.
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:36.400
Whether you're recovering yourself or walking beside someone who is, you're not alone.
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:44.479
Together, we'll take one small step at a time toward greater confidence, resilience, and hope.
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:57.520
Follow the show so you don't miss practical tools, expert conversations, and encouragement to help you protect your heart or support someone you love and truly thrive.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:10.879
