How You Can Beat Heart Disease
Without Drugs, Surgeries, Or Doctors,
Garey Simmons will admit that he was terrified.
It was in June, 2005, that he received some bad news
from his doctor. He was, officially, at a very
high risk for a stroke.
His triglycerides were in the red zone –508

That’s a completely separate zip code.
Triglycerides above 150 are cause for concern –
anything above 500, and you might as well have
an ambulance sitting outside your house.

Along with that, his LDL (bad) cholesterol level
was high, and his HDL (good) cholesterol level was low;
his ratios were the stuff of scary movies.
For years, he looked forward to the day when
his children would bring him his first grandkid…
and now his doctor was telling him that, unless
he underwent radical changes,
he wasn’t ever going to see his grandchildren.

What sorts of changes did his doctor recommend?
Mostly pharmaceuticals – That ticks me off…
and he wasn’t going near that stuff.
When you read about all the dangerous and nasty side
effects of statin drugs, you’ll understand why
he hadn’t even taken an antibiotic in the past 30 years –
He wasn’t about to expose himself to these hardcore drugs
that, as he later learned, only serve to
mask and compound the problem anyway.

But he was determined to make some changes.
That triglyceride number –508 – became his motivation,
his magic number. In life, sometimes there are
little triggers, little keys that help you unlock big doors.
508 became his key, and it spurred Garey to action.

He began addressing 15 years of neglect.
This led him to the secret of Omega-3s –
a secret that may very well have saved his life,
which we’ll discuss later –

but he didn’t get there immediately.
At the time, he was about 15 lbs overweight.
Had a spare tire growing around my mid-section.
His liver was not in good shape from a bout
of hepatitis he contracted while working as a missionary
in India way back in 1976.
When he checked it out, an ultrasound revealed
he had a fatty liver! Enough was enough.
Wake-up Call and Commitment

Listen to what Garey Simmons had to say
about his journey…

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do yet,
but I knew I was going to do something.
Turns out, my first decision was to stop eating beef.
This happened after I met Joe Theisman,
the NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback.
He was the keynote speaker at a tradeshow
I was attending. He had stopped eating beef 20 years ago.
“Not only have we got hormone problems with the beef,
but did you know it takes 3 days to digest or longer?
I haven’t got time to digest for 3 days,
I am a busy man!” Joe said.
Today, I enjoy the occasional steak – but only when
I know I’ll offset it through exercise and I make sure it is
grass-fed, organically raised.
That, of course, was another huge change
for me. I joined a gym. Of course, the great
stumbling block that most people have is
getting out there – and that’s where I had the toughest time too.
Conquering Self!

I had to decide I was willing to do what’s hard.
I decided to act in spite of my fears. I committed
that I was bigger than any obstacle and that
I would never give up. These were powerful commitments.
Of course there were times I wavered…
but the philosophy of the Enlightened Warrior
became my creed. A warrior by definition is one
who goes about to conquer. An Enlightened Warrior
is one who seeks to conquer oneself.
Today, I’m a certified fitness instructor, and
I’m in the best shape of my life.
However, even with my changes in diet –
and extreme changes in exercise –
I knew that triglyceride-508 was a bomb with
only a couple ticks left on the clock.
