Intro

Can you reverse heart disease — even after doctors have written you off as a lost cause? What if your heart failure was so bad, you were considered too sick for surgery, or receiving end-of-life care? The late cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery believed no patient was incurable. And the secret to reversing chronic disease all starts with your diet, lifestyle and mindset.

"It doesn't matter how sick the patient is, it's always my mindset that the patient can turn around," says Dr. Montgomery. "That mindset is based on our experience."

Dr. Montgomery's groundbreaking treatment philosophy has helped heart disease patients walk out of hospitals, and even hospice. Learn about Dr. Montgomery’s own health transformation and how it impacted his practice. And listen for practical insights on plant-based nutrition, hydration, and heart health.

Chuck Carroll revisits this conversation with Dr. Montgomery from The Exam Room archives.
