Reversing the Odds: Mindset, Metabolism & the Heart Failure Recovery Path

from Live Beyond the Norms

He Beat End-Stage Heart Failure, Here’s How!💥 At 69, Dr. Serge François was sprinting stadium stairs and running 30–40 miles a week… but years earlier he was told he had end-stage heart failure with an ejection fraction of 15% and just six months to live without a transplant. In this powerful conversation, he shares how he rebuilt his health using integrative & regenerative strategies, relentless mindset, and daily habits that anyone can start today. We cover his new free eBook, The First Step to Healing After Heart Failure, the exact shifts he made (from stress mastery to fasting and movement), and why he now aims to live to 110—on purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn: - What “end-stage heart failure” means (EF 15%)—and how he faced it - The #1 starting point: mental resiliency and choosing life over fear - Foundational levers: fasting (18–20 hrs/day), organic nutrient-dense food, gut health, targeted supplements, and smart training - How to think root-cause: inflammation, toxic load, metabolic dysfunction & stress - Practical daily habits to protect and rebuild cardiovascular health - Why purpose and long-term goals (his: age 110) change your choices today 📘 Grab his free eBook: The First Step to Healing After Heart Failure - https://go.drsergefrancois.com/opt-in-page Connect with Dr. François: - Website: https://drsergefrancois.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsergefrancois/ Connect with Chris Burres: - Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Podcast: https://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myvitalc/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myvitalc/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/ 👉 Subscribe and tap the bell for more deep-dives on longevity, metabolic health & performance!
