The Doctor Who Survived A Heart Attack and Changed His Life

Neil Cooper, MD, always thought he would have a heart attack. And he ultimately did. But unlike his father, he survived. Then he realized that genes were not his destiny and that he had the power to control his fate.

Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll for one of the most inspirational episodes of The Exam Room to date! 

Dr. Cooper walks Chuck through his remarkable tale of survival and the 72 hours that changed his diet and his life forever. Now he’s paying forward his good fortune and newfound knowledge with other doctors and patients so they can turn around their own health before it’s too late!
