#110 Widowmaker to Warrior (w/ Guy Boyd)

About this episode

Guy Boyd shares his experience of surviving a widow maker heart attack and the lifestyle changes that followed, leading to his book 'Widowmaker to Warrior'.

Guy Boyd survived a widow maker heart attack on his 51st birthday — 100% blockage of his LAD artery for nearly four hours. He shares what that night looked like: three warning episodes, a three-hour wait for a doctor while alone in a hospital room, and calling family only to get voicemails. A decade later, Guy channeled his survival and extensive personal research into his debut book, Widowmaker to Warrior — covering the nutrition science, cholesterol myths, and lifestyle changes that transformed his health. He's since completed 13 Spartan races. Find the book at widowmakertowarrior.com , coming to Amazon soon.
