He emphasized that the only way a patient can discover this is by getting tested, and that it is not limited to those with a specific physical appearance.

"The only way to know whether you have high cholesterol is in this manner." You won't be able to experience it. "You don't have to fit a certain physical profile," he continued.

In the documentary, Barry Sanders also discussed his experience meeting others who have had similar health issues. In his documentary, he assembles four additional individuals who had a heart attack or stroke to reveal the concealed dangers, enduring effects, and information they wish to share with others.

It's simply astounding. "I think it will get a lot of people's attention," said Barry Sanders.
