I had a great career as an anesthesiologist, and although my days were busy and stressful, I had no night or weekend shifts. Life was good and, in my mind, I was as invincible as I was in my 20s. Then September 2003 came along. It was a particularly busy day, and some of the cases in the OR were more stressful than usual. When I got home, I took our dog out, and as I walked towards the house, I felt something "funny" in my chest. It didn't hurt, it just felt "funny." I returned to the ambulatory surgery center, ran an EKG and got my diagnosis. I was a "healthy" 44-year-old, and I had gone into atrial fibrillation! Hours later I'm lying in the Cardiac ICU thinking maybe I wasn't that invincible after all. Medications didn't convert the rhythm to normal, so the next day, I had an electrical cardioversion to correct the rhythm. Talk about a lucky wake-up call. I reevaluated my life. I changed my diet. I tried to reduce the stress in my life. I exercised differently. Fast-forward ten years. I was getting ready to turn 55, and the improved life plan wasn't working. I had a "middle age spread," my cholesterol panel was worsening, I had chronic low back pain and several aching joints. One night a Cenegenics commercial comes on. I was impressed by the testimonials and the people in the commercial looked amazing. Could that really happen for me? I began a Cenegenics program, and in the initial three months, I lost 5 pounds of body fat, gained 15 pounds of muscle, my cholesterol panel improved, my back was no longer sore, my energy improved and I could run and play lacrosse without my joints aching. Now at 59 years old, I have 7% body fat, I can bench press 150% of my body weight, do abdominal exercises that most 20-somethings can't, I have more energy and I look and feel better than ever. I started working with Cenegenics because I wanted others to experience the life changing benefits that I had. The Cenegenics Elite Health Evaluation is a state-of-the-art extensive screening.
