You want a wake-up call about your health? How about the fact that the life expectancy of Americans has decreased by 2.6 years due to the way we live, and this is the number before COVID-19. Why has this happened? According to board certified cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery, it is because of the food we eat. He is surprised that we are not sicker than we are with all the food we consume that is loaded with preservatives and chemicals. It all is enough to make you sick just thinking about.
“We are in a healthcare crisis,” exclaimed Dr. Montgomery. “We all need to standup and take control of our health. We have to think about the kids. We are leaving a generation of sickness and illness and we are passing it down. We have to think about the legacy that we’re leaving. We are leaving a polluted environment. A polluted process of the nourishing the body. It’s just a disaster. Sickness is the new norm.”
Luckily, Houstonians have Dr. Montgomery and his Montgomery Heart & Wellness clinic (MHW) to help people take better care of their heart. His passion for heart health coupled with the desire to educate Americans about their heart led him to open MHW in 2006. The state-of-the-art wellness facility has all the technology and resources to provide comprehensive medical and wellness care complete with a grocery store, meal delivery service, restaurant, and exercise training ground. It is Dr. Montgomery’s mission to reverse and prevent life-threatening illness. He is doing all this by letting his heart and soul guide him.
Dr. Montgomery once was a physician who relied heavily on prescribing prescription medicine and various procedures to treat his patients. However, over the years he has done extensive research that has evolved him to approach treatment of patients with a more natural intentional approach. This new method of treating heart disease is the inspiration behind upcoming Heart and Soul symposium. It is a four-day conference to revitalize your heart with speakers, tour of MHW, and a star-studded gala from October 19th-22nd.
The highlight of the weekend will be the Heart and Soul of a Champion™ Gala on Friday, October 21st starting at 5 p.m. at Rice University Faculty Club: The Cohen House. Red carpet guests include celebrities from the medicine, sports, culinary and entertainment worlds. Coming down the red carpet will be Dr. Kim Williams, nationally acclaimed cardiologist, former president of the American College of Cardiology and current chair of the University of Louisville Department of Medicine; Dr. Pam Popper, renown naturopath, author, health, nutrition, and medicine expert; Chef Babette, celebrity vegan chef, restauranteur, fitness expert and Instagram influencer; John Salley, former NBA star, wellness advocate, actor, plant-based business entrepreneur; David Carter, a.k.a. The 300-Pound Vegan, former NFL star and food justice activist; and, the man of the hour, Dr. Baxter Montgomery, MHW founder, cardiologist extraordinaire and lifestyle expert.
The highlight of the night will be the premiere of the new docuseries Heart and Soul of a Champion. The first season will have guest athletes that have gone through the program of the same name at MHW. Speaking about their experience will be Darrell Green, NFL Hall of Famer; Wendell “Air” Mosely, University of North Texas quarterback; Raymond Waddy, Washington Red Skins cornerback; and Kenny Banks, All-American high jumper.
