The fact that she came back to life is a miracle. It was the second time she defied the odds to live. Earlier in life she beat Stage 4 terminal cancer.

Does she have super DNA that helped her survive?

No. Her superpower is one that every other human has the potential to possess: a positive outlook on life. That outlook would enable her to become the first person in history to complete a marathon on the first anniversary of receiving a heart transplant.

Dr. Mussallem joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to share her incredible story of cheating death and surviving against all odds.

This episode was recorded on location in Rochester, Minnesota at the Lifestyle Medicine Pathway to Health and Happiness Symposium presented by the Lotus Health Foundation and Rochester Clinic.
