This Sunday email from Gareth & Katrina — two people who have lived through heart failure and learned how to live well with it.

When Gareth was diagnosed with heart failure, we didn't know where to start.

There were medications to understand, appointments to attend, numbers we'd never heard of and a whole new vocabulary to get our heads around.

And then came the bigger question: “What does this actually mean for our life?”

Over the past few years, we've learned a huge amount about heart failure — not just from the medical side, but from actually living with it every day.

Gareth's ejection fraction was around 15% when he was diagnosed. Today, his heart function has returned to the normal range.

We know that everyone's journey is different, and we're not here to promise you the same outcome.

What we can do is share what we've learned along the way.

EVERY SUNDAY, WE'LL BRING YOU SOMETHING USEFUL

This isn't going to be another email full of medical jargon that leaves you reaching for Google.

We'll talk about the things that actually come up when you're living with heart failure — the questions you might be too embarrassed to ask, the things we wish we'd known earlier and the practical changes that can make everyday life feel a little less overwhelming.

We'll cover things such as understanding your medication, recognising changes in your symptoms, food and nutrition, exercise and everyday activity, emotional wellbeing, relationships, confidence and much more.

We'll also share stories from our own journey, because sometimes knowing that someone else has been through something similar is just as valuable as having the information.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You're living with heart failure and want to understand your condition better.

You're a partner, carer or family member trying to support someone you love.

You've recently been diagnosed and feel completely overwhelmed by everything you're suddenly expected to understand.

Or perhaps you've been living with heart failure for years but still feel that nobody has really shown you how to put all the pieces together.

You don't need to know everything. You just need somewhere to start.

A LITTLE NOTE FROM US

We're sharing our experiences and general educational information to help people understand and live alongside heart failure.

We're not doctors, and our emails aren't intended to replace your cardiologist, doctor, nurse or heart failure team.
