Heart disease breakthrough being sold at Walmart online?
Nerves are frayed and many are living alone right now—it’s a heart health catastrophe in the making.
If you’re concerned about heart health during these trying times, you should know: Most heart attacks occur between the hours of 6 a.m. and noon.
And the ones that happen during this time are far deadlier than any other time of day.
For years, researchers have speculated about why mornings are so lethal. They’ve thrown every explanation they can think of at the wall—blood-pressure-raising commutes…heart-thumping workouts...cholesterol-laden eggs…etc., etc.
But none of them have stuck.
Because it turns out the REAL cause of morning heart attacks is far more common than any of those shot-in-the-dark theories.

What do Muhammad Ali, Johnny Cash and Michael J. Fox all have in common?
Well, besides being extremely talented, they were each diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive central nervous system disorder that affects movement.
People with Parkinson's suffer from a gradual deterioration of their motor function, caused by the loss of the brain cells that produce dopamine.
While dopamine is best known as one of the brain’s “feel good chemicals,” it’s also critical to other nervous system functions, including helping nerve cells communicate with each other.
Symptoms of PD include:
Anxiety Confusion Memory loss (ranging from mild to full-blown dementia) Depression Lack of facial expression Slowed, quieter speech, or monotone voice Tremors Stiffness Impaired balance
Unfortunately, an estimated 60,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s each year. And while Parkinson’s typically develops after age 55, it can affect younger people too…
Like “Back to the Future” star Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed at age 30.
And my good friend, long-time supporter, and attendee of my workshops, Jill Ritter.
Today, I want to share Jill’s story with you.
She was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s, in 2005 at the age of 36.
Jill told me about her journey with PD:
“I was able to successfully deny and ignore my symptoms for five years… but then I developed a tremor in my left hand which prompted me to seek medical attention.”
I distinctly remember noticing Jill’s hand shaking at one of my workshops in Geneva, NY right around that time.
And then again the next day when I had dinner with her and her husband.
It was then when she told me about her diagnosis…
At the time, I knew very little about Parkinson’s Disease.
I remembered reading about Johnny Cash — one of my musical heroes — and his struggle with it…
And watching Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali’s public deterioration over years of television appearances…
But I’d never seen it “up close and personal.”
Of course, I was concerned for Jill and her health.
But right after we finished our dinner together, she revealed some promising news to me...
She told me that some of the techniques she’d learned at my seminars were actually helping her manage her Parkinson’s symptoms. In particular, she’d been using Brain Tapping to help her sleep. .
Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness, are common in Parkinson’s patients. And unfortunately, Jilly suffered from both.
On days when her condition leaves her feeling depleted and fatigued, she will typically take a short nap in the afternoon. Then, later in the evening, she has a lot of trouble falling asleep at bedtime.
As she puts it, “For some reason I cannot shut my brain off to go to sleep.”
This issue is all too familiar, even for people who don’t have Parkinson’s or a chronic disease.
But Jill is living proof that there are drug-free ways to get the rest you need.
As she puts it, “Brain Tapping helps me to relax my mind. And I’m then able to drift off into a restful sleep in a matter of a few minutes.”
Want to learn how to do Brain Tapping?
It’s really pretty simple!
Brain Tapping in four simple steps Close your eyes. -Take an inventory of how you feel: -Do you have pain in a particular part of your body? -Are you tense or shaky? -Are you having trouble focusing? After briefly checking in with yourself, begin the exercise. Very gently tap the tops of your legs, alternating your hands. Your hands should tap repeating the following pattern: [RIGHT - LEFT - RIGHT - LEFT] A rate of four taps per second is a good place to start. (The tempo is the same as the infamous ticking stopwatch from the show 60 Minutes. Picture that in your mind and tap along.) Inhale and exhale very slowly throughout the exercise. Continue this tapping for two to three minutes. When you’re nearing the end of the exercise, use the last 30 seconds for a “cool down” period. Gradually slow down your tapping, then stop, relax, and notice how you feel.
A big thanks goes out to Jill for sharing her story with us today.
I really admire the fact that she chooses to live her life to the fullest—even in the face of adversity.
She’s an inspiring force to not only me, but to all the people around her. As the old saying goes, Jill found a way to turn “lemons into lemonade.”
Jill researched and experimented until she found techniques that are easy for her to do in the comfort of her own home, and more importantly, something she actually enjoys—so much so, that she’s been able to stick to it nearly every day…improving her health by leaps and bounds.
Her attitude reminds me of the wise words of Teddy Roosevelt... “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
Words to live by, indeed.
It’s my hope that you can discover the same on your journey to better wellness. (I’d love to hear about your story… feel free to drop me a line at feedback@donovanhealth.com.)
And as always, I’m here to help.
