I am 41 and started thinking about my mortality and the "bad" genes passed down from my family.  My dad died at the age of 52 due to complications from adjusting his stints.  He had a quadruple bypass at the age of 49.  My mother who weighs 130 and exercises had a heart attack at the age of 62 in 2009.  I have walked a marathon, I participate in multiple 5Ks a year and walk about 5 miles a week.  I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and I have Poly Cystic Ovaries.  OY!  I want to live long enough to grow old with my husband and to see my children with their own kids.  I have tried just about every diet in the book so this was my last hope (not to sound too dramatic).  I'm excited and very very very nervous.
