Near Misses, Second Chances, and the Art of Staying Alive | The Deep Six | Episode 44

Mike Sullivan is back. The CEO of the Loomis Agency and longtime friend of Dr. Lewerenz returns for a conversation that gets real fast. Between motocross memories and Supercross weekend in Detroit, the two open up about near-death experiences, second chances, and what it actually takes to stay alive long enough to appreciate life. Dr. Lewerenz also breaks down a genetic cholesterol marker most doctors never test for, why carotid screening could be the most important thing you do this year, and why sometimes the best medical decision is getting a second opinion. Don't wait for a near-miss to start paying attention to your health!
