The Heart Warrior Project

The Heart Warrior Project features survivor stories and clinician Q&As, with a consistent host and a mix of patient and expert guests. It offers authentic, education-focused content ideal for health, mental health, and medical-device messaging. Booking opportunities exist with clinicians and survivors, though top-tier celebrities are unlikely; credential-driven pitches and cause-marketing align well with the show’s nonprofit survivor-support angle.

I am Jellis Vaes, the host and founder of The Heart Warrior Project, and a sudden cardiac arrest survivor. I started this project to provide emotional support for fellow cardiac arrest survivors, after experiencing myself what a wild ride this has been, but also how little emotional support is offered. On the website, you can find practical articles to help you live a better life after surviving a cardiac arrest, and here on the podcast, I talk with fellow survivors about their journey to provide you with tips and advice. I hope you feel at home here, my fellow heart warrior.
