My lifelong commitment to heart health is rooted in a devastating personal loss. My father, Dale Spencer, was the picture of health—a prominent figure in the Southern Bicycle League, highly dedicated to nutrition, and always doing the “right things” to stay healthy.

Then, at the age of 67, while simply putting his foot down during a bike ride, he collapsed and died instantly. The cause was severe coronary artery disease; his arteries were tragically clogged. This shocking event proved that even a commitment to fitness is not enough.

This deeply personal tragedy became my call to action. I embarked on a relentless, decades-long journey to ensure my own arteries would not share his fate, especially after learning this sobering fact: Cardiac events are a major public health concern, with heart disease being the leading cause of death for both men and women, accounting for roughly 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States.

This quest for verifiable, preventative solutions—a quest that has since delivered my own proof of 0% arterial plaque from Atlanta Virtual Imaging—is what compelled me to create PureHeart Wellness. I built this company not just on science, but on the profound, personal desire to help others secure the resilient heart health that my father never had the chance to fully unlock.
