      @@banthatracks_gaffisticks such a great point! appreciate your comment a lot. Question: who's "four" do you tend to gravitate towards? Pressfield's or Miller's? Miller's is obviously more aligned with traditional storytelling, but Pressfield's deals more with our internal stories, so to speak.

    I liked Heba on the show. I was happy she won and got healthy. She has her own personality as everybody else does. I notice she’s gained back a lot of weight from being 156lbs at the finale. I hope her health is still good. I didn’t know her and Ed got divorced and she’s got a new husband with a kid. I watched season 6 when it was on way back then over 16 years ago. I wonder if she’s Greek, Middle Eastern, Italian or some other ethnicity. She’s still a beautiful, energetic, optimistic woman. Good luck to her. 👍🏻

All she wants to do is use the medical field to promote her business and book selling. Swiner is not a superwoman she is a patient k*let. She prescribed my elderly mother so many of the wrong medications refused to refer her to a cardiologist rheumatologist and etc swiner thinks she can play the position of all Drs she prescribed my mother Prednisone without even performing diagnostics test to ensure that my mother even had gout. Prednisone and aspirin should not be taken together which swiner had my mother taking both together. My mother ended up passing away in January of 2018 due to Dr swiner negligence. She refused to refer my mother to a cardiologist all Bec swiner wants to be a combination of all Drs knowing she doesn't retain the essential credentials to play the role of rheumatologist cardiologist nephrologist and etc. Then she falsified my mother death certificate and refused to amend it with the correct information
