Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast.

I'm your host, Ivor Cummins.

Hey all, back with another podcast and I'm down here in the south of Ireland in the middle of nowhere.

And the technology is not all set up, so we're low tech today.

But I'm delighted to have a conversation now with the founder of We Love Our Heart, which operates out of Germany, but is international. That's Mark Feldstead.

And we'll briefly touch on his story, which you may have heard before. And we've also brought along Martin, not Denzel. Maybe Martin, you can correct me.

Genzo, that sounds right? Genzel. Ah. Yes, rhymes with Denzel, Washington.

So Martin Gensel is a pioneer early member who has gone through the full kind of strategy

from We Love Our Heart, which reflects a lot of what I've been saying for around 10 years now

and has had some market improvement in his blood markers after suffering a mild heart attack

less than a year ago.

So pretty substantial improvements and feeling a lot better, right, Martin?

Absolutely.

So maybe we'll start, Mark, with just a brief your backstory and we love our heart, give

an overview, and then we get into martin's experience

which mirrors many of the other guys yeah that's right thank you i have always a pleasure

always a pleasure well for those who haven't come across me before um yeah basically i was a really

fit sporty guy doing triathlons doathlons not smoking not smoking, healthy diet, so I thought, not really drinking,

no overweight whatsoever, really fit an athletic until one day almost exactly three years ago

during a duathlon competition here locally, quite a strenuous competition. I was doing pretty well

in one of the front groups, but I dropped

dead 200 metres from the finish with a sudden cardiac arrest, which I had no symptoms
