Diamond Fernandes, BSc, ACSM CEP®, FAAMM
Founder and Director, Heart Fit Clinic
Author of “Beating Heart Disease”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
A University of Calgary Science graduate in 1997, he initially pursued a career in sports medicine until a pivotal moment when his father experienced another heart attack. Motivated by this, he shifted gears to specialize in cardiac health, joining Total Cardiology in Calgary in 1999.
His journey led him to establish a cardiac rehabilitation program in Dubai in 2005 and manage the Kelowna Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (COACH) in 2006. Identifying gaps in cardiology care, he founded the Heart Fit Clinic in 2007, driven by the research that heart stents and bypass surgery aren't cures, cholesterol does not cause heart disease and cardiology testing can miss heart attacks.
Committed to integrative cardiology, he holds certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine, completed advanced cardiology modules, and a Fellowship in Metabolic Medicine. Widely recognized in the media as a heart health thought leader, he authored the book "Beating Heart Disease.”
MY WHY:
“I have been involved in cardiac health since 1999. It is my passion to help you. Where does my passion come from? My father has been living with heart disease since his first heart attack at the young age of 38.
Unfortunately, his brother, my uncle was not so lucky and passed away from a massive heart attack at 42 years old. My father is now following our advice living well into his seventies. What fuels my passion now is the continued impact we are making on people’s heart health.
I have made it my personal mission to find out everything I can to ensure my father and thousands of other patients are living well with heart disease.”
