How to Lose Weight - Straight Talk - Living Your Life with AFIB Episode One

Having lost 110 pounds in the past 8 months I explain the truth about what it takes to lose significant amounts of weight, and then the benefits it has for those with AFIB atrial fibrillation. If you are wanting to lose 100 pounds, or lose weight quickly and are willing to put in the work, or you need to lose weight for Atrial Fibrillation AFIB or other conditions, this may be the straight talk advice you are hoping to find.

Living Your Life with AFIB is a regular show for those with AFIB / Atrial Fibrillation or its related comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, GERD and other digestive issues.
