Almost Dead at 61, Climbing Mountains at 62. It’s Never Too Late | Dr. Akil Taher

The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

One year after life-saving heart surgery at the age of 61, Dr. Akil Taher was climbing the highest mountains in the world.

The leading cause of death in America nearly had another victim. His heart stopped, he had stents inserted to open severely clogged arteries, and ultimately needed open heart bypass surgery. Finally, after ignoring the warning signs for years, he proclaimed that he wanted to not just live, but “really live.”

The transformation that came next was nothing short of remarkable. It was a complete diet and lifestyle overhaul that eradicated more than 60 years of unhealthy habits.

Dr. Taher shares his inspirational story with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

He is proof that it is never too late for you to change.
