The First Meeting of the Authors

I tend to be a skeptic. That’s the first thing you need to know about me.

As for Dr. Dwight Lundell, I would call him a truth seeker—he’s beyond skepticism because he has the knowledge to challenge philosophy with fact. He’s a guru of scientific fact.

So, how did I—the skeptic writer, known to be a tad irreverent—end up co-authoring a book with a doctor who has an unblemished reputation in cardiovascular medicine?

The first time I received a call from Dr. Dwight Lundell, asking if I would be interested in co-authoring a book with him, I admit I was extremely skeptical. The gentle, yet direct, voice on the other end of the phone politely proclaimed one of the greatest medical statements in history—heart disease had found a cure! Yes, of course I was skeptical. Was this guy actually going to say something that could change the world?

Sure, heart disease is a huge topic. But, if this doctor was going to feed me the same old mucky information that isn’t making a dent in a growing heart disease epidemic, why would I care? Why would anyone care?

On that initial phone call, Dr. Lundell asked me, “Todd, how much do you know about heart disease?”

Well, I’m already a health freak. I thought I knew quite a bit. And, I thought he was about to rattle off the same information we’ve all heard for decades. So, it was to my surprise when he followed that initial question with, “If you do know anything about the disease, are you truly willing to change your perspective?”

Wait a second. What? Will I change my perspective? Sure, I’ll change my perspective if someone would give me a reason. But, so far, no one has ever given me a real reason to change the way I think—about anything. I’ve written for, and about, some of the country’s most recognized companies and people—billion dollar corporations, best selling authors, politicians, and high-powered executives. Plus, I have a wealth of experience writing in the health and wellness arenas—working side-by-side with leaders in medicine. Put it this way, if you can imagine it, I’ve probably written it at some point in my career. But, none have changed my perspective—I’m hard-headed and stubborn. So, what could Dr. Lundell possibly tell me that could truly change my perspective, change my mind, and transform my life?

That’s when Dr. Lundell said something to me that I had never heard before as a writer
