How a Fit, Healthy Man Nearly Missed a Deadly Heart Condition
Description
Pete Marnock was the picture of health—lean, active, and unstoppable on a mountain bike. But beneath his peak fitness was a hidden, life-threatening heart condition. He had no symptoms, no risk factors, and no idea he was days away from disaster.
In this episode, Pete shares his powerful story of survival and the routine GP check-up that saved his life. With raw honesty, he talks about identity, recovery, and what it’s like to face your own mortality despite “doing everything right.”
We also hear from Natalie Raffoul, Senior Manager Healthcare Programs & Clinical Strategy at the Heart Foundation, who breaks down why Heart Week matters, what Australians need to know about the silent nature of heart disease, and how simple steps like a heart health check can make all the difference.
Whether you’re an athlete or just someone who puts off going to the doctor, this is an episode that might just change your life—or help you save someone else’s.
