Ben is a personal trainer who uses fitness not just to build health, but to empower mindset.
Two years ago, Ben thought he was in the best shape of his life, pushing my health and fitness to new limits, all the while completely unaware he was walking around with a ruptured aortic valve.
After ignoring the symptoms for 6 weeks, thinking it was merely blood pressure, Ben finally walked into the hospital, and within 7 days he was undergoing full open-heart surgery.
Not getting treated when he did could have led to complete heart and kidney failure... a powerful reminder of the life-saving importance of acting just in time.
