Heart Attack at 29: The Truth About Cholesterol, Genetics, and Prevention with Sam Prewitt
from Better Black Health · host Gregory L. Hall, MD
Sam “SP” Prewitt was just 29, active, and seemingly healthy when a massive heart attack nearly took his life. In this episode, he shares the #HeartStrong story behind his book "Plus More Life"—from ignoring early warning signs to discovering a 95% coronary blockage and dangerously high cholesterol driven in part by family history. We explore what most people get wrong about “young” hearts, the critical numbers every adult should know before 30, and how genetics and lifestyle all intersect. Sam opens up about the emotional aftermath of surviving, breaking generational curses, and the day-to-day habits that now define his heart-healthy life. If you think you’re too young to worry about heart disease, this conversation is your wake-up call.Book: https://www.samprewitt.com/plusmorelifeSP's website: https://www.samprewitt.com/Each episode of Better Black Health is sponsored by GNetX Sequence Multivitamins for African Americans and the Better Black Health book, which addresses many of the healthcare disparities faced by the Black community.
