In Part 2 of Val’s story on Cup of Life, we dive into the gripping tale of a fit triathlete in his 30s who faced death during his first Ironman in Panama City, Florida. A sudden cardiac event left Val clinically dead for 45 seconds—how did this happen to a healthy athlete?
From battling chest pain and ocean currents to a grueling recovery, Val shares his raw experience and the profound shift it sparked: from chasing achievements to finding true meaning.
Note: Special host Anastasia, with her medical background, interviews Valentin in English, bringing a doctor’s perspective to this gripping story.

I’m suicidal as I’ve been so awful to my loved ones. I don’t want to be here anymore. I hate myself 😢😢😢😢
It would be better when she would not smile and laugh so much in such a serious topic.
Just heard of a 32 year old woman died suddenly, with no injuries or symptoms whatsoever, she just died. I believe that the COVID vaccine is the reason we all in the west are experiencing a 10% above normal death rate, especially younger people.
Interviewer needs to just listen, she interrupts so much that it interrupted the flow of his experience 😭 very frustrating to listen to, which is such a shame. I couldnt listen anymore.
why u iinterupt him he was almost sayin so impottan hing at 37,32
A lot of these nde stories are all bullshits 😅
Her talking over him. Could not listen
She needs to stop interrupting, for crying out loud 🤦🏽♀️ terrible interviewer, my word! LET HIM SPEAK 🤫
The amount she overtalks him, interrupts him and rudely oks while he’s speaking literally drives me NUTS!!!
I can’t listen! All the irrelevant questions by the interviewer take away from the spirit of the testimony!!!!! 😮
She is asking good questions about the situation, the true picture. Excellent podcast, thanks so much for sharing.
Great interview. They, both, did an excellent job !
The inane laughing…..she laughed at statements that were not funny at all.
OH FOR CRISSAKES……CAN SHE SHUT HER DAMNED MOUTH AND LET HIM SPEAK??? I HAD TO TURN THIS OFF AS I COULDN'T STAND ANY MORE OF HER COMMENTS AND INANE QUESTIONS. STFU. LET A STORY TELLER TELL THEIR STORY. LISTEN TO JEFF MARA INTERVIEW AN NDE PATIENT. LEARN SOMETHING.
Stop interrupting. I had to stop watching the interrupting was so bad.
It's so easy to lose life.its much easier than you think
This is the truth
The anchor is stunningly beautiful and also seems to be somewhat obsessed with the guest' s vibes.🙂😉
What an amazing story…I wish she would just let him speak! Not finish his sentence!!
She needs to stop interrupting, she took away from the beauty of his story with her constant laughing and making comments. I stopped watching and I will search for his story elsewhere. God bless him for sharing his story
She talks too much. Please just let him talk
Oh my God These fake Americans Woooowww sickening
Women interviewers Dea God. They cannot stay silent. It's for the listener NIT HER E DONT NEED HER OK OK OK MMM FAKE
It's a shame they speak more about his health condition rather than the actual NDE…
the interviewer is definitely a registered Democrat.
Who is interviewing who here?? I'm done trying to guess…
