A new approach to understanding, preventing, and treating heart disease to empower you and your loved ones to live long and healthy lives.

The main cause of heart disease—the world’s number one killer of women and men—is a cancer-like “tumor” inside the coronary arteries that keep our hearts beating. Although this similarity to cancer is well-established in medical journals, most people (and their health care providers) don’t approach heart disease as seriously as cancer, even though it’s just as deadly. In Fight Heart Disease Like Cancer, cardiologist Michael McConnell shares the stories of his family, patients, and research to lay out a modern and effective approach to preventing, screening for, and treating heart disease like cancer to avoid its dire consequences.

Dr. McConnell highlights the latest research on the substantial overlap between heart disease and cancer, from shared risk factors to screening for early detection to new and powerful therapies. In accessible language, and with personal perspectives from his daughters Mia and Kelly, he explains

• how heart disease grows in similar ways to cancer
• how to screen for early heart disease
• prevention techniques that incorporate both a heart-healthy lifestyle and medical help when needed
• simple and powerful therapies to reverse heart disease and prevent heart attacks and strokes
• digital health technologies, including wearable devices and artificial intelligence, that broaden access for detecting and monitoring heart disease

Dr. McConnell, through his work with the American Heart Association and the National Fitness Foundation, also highlights the many ways our society can reduce heart disease for all. Fight Heart Disease Like Cancer will guide you step-by-step on how to prevent, screen for, and treat heart disease to live a healthier and longer life.

How to tone and sculpt your body, even if you hate cardio or have never stepped inside a gym (and don’t plan on doing so!)

At one point or another we’ve all told ourselves, “I’m going to sign up for a gym membership, and really do it this time,” or, “I swear I’ll do my workout later on tonight.”

We all know the benefits of exercise: It improves our physical and mental health, gives us more energy, and boosts our self-image.

So why is it so hard to start an exercise regimen, and even harder to stick to it?

Despite our best intentions, life gets in the way and there always seems to be an obstacle stopping us from actively trying to live healthier.

Whatever the reason, continuing to live a sedentary lifestyle isn’t doing you any favors.

In fact, physical inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality and is a strong predictor for weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.

Does this mean that you have to make drastic lifestyle changes to start improving your health, mentally and physically? Or that you need to give up time doing what you love just so you can spend hours in the gym?

Not at all.

I’ll let you in on a secret that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know.

You don’t need fancy equipment or expensive trainers to sculpt the body that, up until now, you’ve only imagined.

A.G. Scott knows firsthand the amazing results that can be achieved with home workouts, and so he has put together the only exercise guide you’ll ever need.

In Home Workouts: Anyone | Anytime | Anywhere, you will discover:

• The six key elements every workout must have in order to make the most of your time and effort, and how they will have you seeing results sooner than you would believe
• Exercises for every muscle group and fitness level with clear, comprehensive instructions, diagrams and variations so you’re working your target areas every time
• The #1 upper-body workout that will rapidly build your overall strength (hint: small adjustments make big changes)
• How this engaging training method can help you burn more calories than traditional cardio, and continue to burn calories even after your workout is finished
• The numerous benefits of dynamic stretching and how that one simple habit not only warms up your muscles, but also improves your balance and coordination over time
• Meal plans that can be adapted for any lifestyle, so you can create a plan that meets your personal needs and preferences
• The most common mistakes people make without realising, and how these can hold you back from achieving incredible results

And much more.

With the demands and responsibilities of everyday life, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice precious hours every week going to the gym to build the body you’ve always wanted.

The key to transforming your life is having a workout routine that works for you, not against you. This is a plan that will adjust to match your needs and experience, no matter where you are.

It’s time to leave the costly gym membership behind, save money, and allow yourself more time to enjoy life.

If you start today, think how much better you will look and feel in a month.
