Thanks so much for having us: we had a blast, and it was great to meet the crew.
Emmitt and I believe that you have more control than you think--whether you have enough energy to do the things you want to do, whether you get heart disease, whether you age well.
This campaign with www.mendedhearts.org is about preparing you with the right questions to keep you healthy and your heart strong.
Thanks again,
Warmly
John La Puma, MD
