Brigid Titgemeier's guest lost his father and grandfather to heart attacks in their mid-fifties, which pushed him to take his own health seriously as he approached 50. Family history became his biggest motivator for staying active and preventing disease.
A really common question that came in when I polled my audience was, what motivates you to stay healthy?
Well, number one, my father and his father both died within a year at age 55 and 56. And so I was really apprehensive during my 50s.
Of heart. They both had heart attacks, right?
They did, yes. So my 50s were a little tenuous. I was always concerned about that and then probably worked out a little bit more during that period of time. And that was good, because what you do in your 40s and 50s will carry you through the balance of the later years, like I am now. I wouldn't be able to do half the things that I'm able to do if I hadn't had a very physical life most of my life.
