Thrive after a heart attack
You’ve survived a heart attack, you’re living with significant cardiovascular risk, or you are caring for a loved one who has survived a heart attack. What comes next can feel overwhelming. Confusing advice, fear of another cardiac event, and uncertainty about how to safely make lifestyle changes often leave people stuck in anxiety rather than action. The “Thrive after a heart attack” podcast is designed to change that.
Hosted by Luiza Holtzberg, heart health coach and founder of Wingspan Wellness. Luiza is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, certified medical exercise specialist, and experienced cardiac rehabilitation exercise specialist with over a decade in the field. This show provides guidance for life after a heart attack. Luiza helps listeners move out of fear and into clarity, rebuilding trust in their bodies while making sustainable changes that truly support heart health.
Each episode of "Thrive after a heart attack” focuses on the core pillars of recovery and prevention: heart-healthy nutrition, restorative sleep, safe and effective physical fitness, and emotional and mental resilience. Instead of overwhelming medical jargon or conflicting advice, listeners receive practical strategies that fit into real, busy lives.
