Heart disease can feel like a family curse until you learn what you can actually change. Stacy Johnson joins us to share how losing her dad and uncovering a long line of early heart attacks pushed her into prevention, volunteering with the American Heart Association, and coaching everyday people toward simple, repeatable health habits that work in real life.
We talk about her path from growing up Catholic in Western New York to building a career in engineering, moving to Arizona, and eventually returning to church with a new kind of intentionality. Along the way, Stacy breaks down what shifted her faith from something she “always believed” into a lived relationship with God, shaped by reading the Bible consistently, learning generosity, and becoming open to the Holy Spirit in daily life.
Then we get extremely practical. Stacy lays out her "B.E. H.A.P.P.Y." framework for heart health and lifestyle change: breakfast, exercise, hydration, axe or add one habit, plate two fruits, plate three veggies, and YOU time for self-care. We also connect the dots between blood pressure, sleep, stress, food planning, and consistency, plus why “hereditary” is often a wake up call, not a sentence. If you want preventive health, heart healthy habits, and faith-fueled discipline without the hype, this conversation is for you.
