Episode Description

People think a heart attack comes without a warning. Dr. Kim knows it doesn't. He was in his early 30s and in good shape when a heart attack nearly killed him, and the cause turned out to be something almost no doctor would have thought to look for.

Dr. John Kim is a functional medicine pharmacist who spent years inside pharmacology before walking away from conventional pharmacy. After a heart attack at 33 sent him searching for answers, he traced his own breakdown to a mix of hidden infections, heavy metals, and mold, and spent two years rebuilding.

That experience reshaped how he practices, and today he helps people work through the kind of complex, multi-system problems that conventional medicine tends to treat one symptom at a time.

Recorded live at Changing Life and Destiny, this conversation gets into the story behind that heart attack and what it taught Dr. Kim about how the body actually breaks down.
