Section: Motivation, Success Stories, Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts

Having won last week’s Republican Caucuses in Iowa, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee hopes to carry that momentum throughout the U.S. Presidential Primaries and this April’s Boston Marathon (where he will compete on a charity relay team).

TheFinalSprint.com had a chance to speak with Governor Huckabee in a podcast interview last March and he discussed his life-saving battle with obesity and how that experience has influenced his plans for health care reform as a 2008 candidate for the U.S. presidency.

Download this installment of the TFS Podcast “Best of” Series to hear how Huckabee, who once had trouble even walking up the steps of the U.S. Capital Building without being out of breath, changed his life and inspired others by losing over 110-pounds, holding off Type-2 Diabetes, and becoming a marathon runner!

Today’s podcast features my interview with the TFS’s March 2007 Success Story: former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.

In 2003, Mike learned that he had developed adult-onset (type-2) diabetes and would not live more than 10 years without losing weight. Faced with his own mortality, Mike decided to completely change his life.

He took up running, significantly altered his diet, lost 110 pounds and completed several marathons. Mike continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle, runs on a regular basis and has become a passionate national advocate for proper health and nutrition.

Download the podcast to hear about Mike’s life-saving battle with obesity, how his experience has influenced his plans for health care reform as a 2008 candidate for the U.S. presidency, his advice for others and much more!
