I was asked many months ago if I was interested in sharing my experience with Atrial Fibrillation. I was not sure what they wanted but if you know me I'm always happy to share my story via social media, podcast, interview. I'm all about awareness for all that is out there to help promote a healthy lifestyle. I'm not talking diet specifically but more the direction of doing physical activity because you can. It doesn't matter what activity you are committing to whether it be as simple as yoga or tai chi to endurance sports like ultra marathons or triathlons. If you have a goal to do any of these to help you get through your diagnosis or maybe to return to that activity then this was the focus of my webinar. I was paired with two doctors as part of the panel and was able to lead off the discussion basically talking about me. Now some of you who have come across my blog have seen me in some form of doing some form of talk or being interviewed but this was my first chance at actually in a panel. I did not expect questions as I am not a medical expert so I left that to my fellow panelists Dr. Mehrdad Golian (my electrophysiologist) and Dr. Jennifer Reed (Director of Exercise and Cardiovascular Health.
Overall I had a pleasant experience. I had prepared a bunch of speaking notes, but I totally went without them. I started looking at them but then basically just went with the flow. I had eight (8) minutes to do my part and hand it off to the rest of the panel. I was warned and somewhat relieved that I would not get any questions, but definitely I wasn't too worried if I didn't get any 😉
