Heart Failure at 50 - Doctors Told Him to Get His Affairs in Order

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2439194/fan_mail/new] Andy Atkinson was working in the fast-paced athletic department at Boise State University, traveling with football and living an active lifestyle when a persistent cough led to a shocking diagnosis,,, his heart was functioning at just 7%. Doctors told him there wasn't much he could do and he was advised to simplify his life, prepare for a defibrillator implant, and get his affairs in order. But Andy refused to accept that outcome. A desperate prayer to Jesus became the turning point in his journey. He opens up about the mindset shifts, faith, journaling, gratitude practices, music, and daily disciplines that helped him move from hopelessness to hope. He credits what he calls the " J's" - Jesus, Journaling, Jelly Roll, Jen (his wife), and Joe Dispenza all as important parts of his healing journey. You'll also hear: • The moment doctors told him there was no hope • Why his wife's words, "Promise me you won't give up," changed everything • How he began journaling every night in gratitude • The meaning behind "I Am That I Am" • Why he believed his heart would recover before the test results came back • The incredible story of how Jelly Roll eventually heard Andy's story and invited him backstage • How his heart function improved from 7% to 55% Whether you're facing a health crisis, feeling hopeless, or simply need encouragement to keep going, this conversation is a reminder that your story isn't over.
