NEW: Peter Megdal sets new World Record on September 12, 2023
Our mission is clear and simple: to enable everyone and anyone with heart disease to reverse and, yes, even cure it. We accomplish this through increasing awareness of cutting edge health and wellness information. Curing Heart Disease, LLC is an evidence-based organization utilizing diet, exercise, medicines, and other resources to fight this deadly disease.
I have been an active cyclist since the thrill of my first race in my late teens. My early commitment to competitive cycling has afforded me advantages in life. First, I have always tried to figure out how to go faster on the bike. Since weight is a key factor to speed, this focus led to an interest in diet. Second, the exercise helped inoculate me from diabetes that has plagued my entire family. Alas, I was not able to avoid heart disease.
That is what has brought me to this mission.
