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 \u201creally live.\u201d

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 \u201cThe Weight Loss Champion\u201d Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
