Recovering from a Major Heart Attack

How Recovery by Design Helped Me Create a Healthier Lifestyle

In January 2023, a major heart attack changed my life.

This book is my honest account of what happened next: the fear, cardiac rehabilitation, rebuilding trust in my body, changing my relationship with food and exercise, and creating a healthier lifestyle that I could genuinely enjoy and sustain.

It is not a medical textbook or a promise of a miracle cure. It is one patient’s real experience, shared in the hope that it may encourage someone else taking their own first steps towards recovery.

My reason for sharing this story

The cardiac professionals who treated and supported me did more than save my life. They helped remove the vulnerability I felt after my heart attack, taught me to trust my body again and showed me that recovery did not require perfection.

Recovery by Design is my way of passing those lessons forward.

Live well. Eat well. Enjoy life.
