A little about me

JOSEPH KIM

I began cycling after I found out that my total cholesterol and A1c level was high and that I was considered prediabetic. I’m a biomedical engineer by trade so I wanted to get to the source of my issues instead of masking it with superficial remedies. I have a vision of helping people in their total health through self-monitoring devices, diet and fitness so I became my own test subject and it became imperative that I figure this out. After consistent cycling coupled with a healthy diet, I’m happy to report that my cholesterol levels have improved significantly. I’d like to help others who are at the onset of prediabetes so that they don’t enter a stage where diabetes becomes a lifelong struggle.

Changing my lifestyle

I’ve always considered myself fairly active, yet I was overweight & I continuously received a bad report card on my doctors visits. High blood pressure, bad cholesterol, overweight & so forth.

What I came to terms with was that active doesn’t mean healthy. Random exercise was not fueling my health.

It wasn’t until I heard a sermon titled ‘Food Drunk” that totally changed my mindset. It wasn’t just that I needed to eat healthier & exercise a little more, it was about changing my lifestyle.  If my faith in God called me to surrender everything to Him (Mark 12:30), why hadn’t I been a good steward with my health & body. So, if the body is the temple of the Lord (I Cor 3:16), then I was determined to give Him the best residence possible!

I started eating healthy & exercising This was not just a diet for a temporary fix but a total change in what I consumed. Sugars, high carbs were out & vegetables & fruits were in. I lost weight & felt much better.  My concentration level improved. Doctor visits were much better because my blood work was perfect. My random exercise became scheduled workouts. I developed a love for running & participated in marathons, half marathons that I never thought I could do.

This change in lifestyle also led me to become a personal trainer & indoor cycling instructor. My desire is to help others who want to make a change in their lifestyle to become as healthy as possible & to feel good about themselves.

Over time, my go to cardio became cycling! I love it!!! It has so many benefits from burning calories to increasing stamina. Thanks to Joseph at HeartsBio, I now own a carbon fiber road bike that is awesome! I rode it in a century a couple of weeks ago & it was perfect.

If you’re on a journey to get healthy, be encouraged! It is a journey but it’s one that you will love because the reward is a better life!!!

Anything is possible…Mark 10:27.

Be blessed!

My Health Journey.

Less than three months ago, my total cholesterol was 300. Concerned about my health, I found the Heart Care C1 Plus device online and purchased it to monitor my levels as I committed to changing my diet, exercise routine, and supplement regimen.
At the time, my doctor recommended starting medication to prevent a potential heart attack. But I chose a different path— embracing a major dietary shift that included foods like tofu for protein, healthy fats, nuts, and flaxseed bread. I also incorporated late-night cardio on a stationary bike into my routine and remained consistent with supplemental support.
In under 90 days, my total cholesterol dropped from 300 to 166—a remarkable 134-point decrease. My A1C also improved, falling from 7.5 to 5.7, and I lost 12 pounds along the way.
I couldn’t have done this without the Heart Care C1 Plus device. It allowed me to track my progress in real time and make informed adjustments, rather than waiting six months in the dark about my health. At my follow-up appointment, my doctor—who had agreed to retest me after 90 days—grinned and said, “You proved me wrong.”
I’m deeply grateful to the founder of this device. It’s now an essential part of my health journey and a permanent fixture in my preventive wellness toolkit. The Heart Care C1 Plus has empowered me in ways I never imagined—and I’m thankful every day to have it.

My weight loss story

Since my retirement I have learned that procrastinating is actually an easy skill to learn:

I have been very heavy for about 20 years, peaking at 250 pounds, and at 5’9 it was not very good to say the least, other than that I was pretty healthy.However that was not what made me lose the weight that I did.After getting laid off from work due to the pandemic I decided to retire.  But after a few months I got really bored so I went for a bike ride.  Started slow just around the neighborhood.  After a few weeks I noticed that my pants were a bit loose and indeed I lost some weight.  It was fun so I started to ride for a bit longer and in no time at all I was doing like 10 miles a day and the pounds started to melt away.I got down to as low as 155 pounds but I have since leveled off at 160 pounds and I’m proud to say that I ride 20 miles most every day,I did not set out to lose weight so it was done all organically.  I did not follow any diet or plan. I just biked and ate a little less and a little better.Of all the positives like actually getting up off the floor, sleeping better etc..  The most amazing thing is my energy level.  I actually have the energy as I did in my 20’s.  Sadly my body does not respond like I’m in my 20’s but you cannot have everything!As I wrote I’m really proud of doing what I did and your amazing bike will allow me to continue what success I’ve had.  Thanks,

A mood buster

Buying this bike definitely changed my life for the better. It’s such a mood booster for me. I’m not a very outgoing person so riding is like therapy for me. I ride for hours and it helps me reset my mind while also getting in a work out. If I have any issues I know I can always ride my bike to clear my mind and feel better.

Fill my heart with gladness

Everyday decision-making becomes more crucial than ever before. The only way I know to keep my sanity and optimal brain health are to get outside, get happy and get on cycling to clear my mind and fill my heart with gladness. “Philippians 4:13” we can still live the best life if we live for God. Redeem the time. Create a healthy lifestyle, cherish a good friendship or relationship and do everything to keep them, surrounds yourself with people of positive influence.

Stronger physically and mentally

Before I started cycling, I was overweight and I felt ashamed of it. So, I was determined to change that by exercising and watching out on what I eat everyday. Then, my search for the best exercise for weight loss begins. After some research and having my mind set on a specific exercise which is cycling, I began to look for a bicycle on Amazon and found and bought a HeartsBio Model H carbon fiber road bike. Right after I received the bicycle, I assembled it and went out for a ride right away. Since then, my health has slowly changed during the year, and I was able to get my weight back into a normal health range for my height. My weight went from 185 pounds to 155 pounds in just 6 months. Cycling is something that I have integrated into my life when I have time. I always go for an enjoyable ride and forget everything that is happening around me. A ride can change everything even when I feel frustrated or I have too many things in my mind. Not only that, I was able to learn new things about bicycles and meet new people. Through meeting new people, I got to meet more new people and we were able to connect with each other with group rides. In group rides, we are able to talk about things that happen in our life and talk about the sport. Since then, cycling has become a really big part of my life. I ride my bike every chance I get, therefore, I became stronger physically and mentally.

HeartsTeal / 48 : Rider height 5'2 ~ 5'4
All around awesome bike! A purchase you won’t regret!

This bike exceeded my expectations! I have always ridden mountain bikes but since getting into triathlons I had been shopping around for a road bike for close to 9 months. I stumbled across Hearts bio bikes while simply doing a google search for “best road bikes”. I had never heard of this company so I read many reviews, none of which were negative! What really sold me on this bike was the simplicity of it - the solid yet singular bright color (I went with teal) with the black accents looked classy; Model H Tiagra.
Joseph was very sweet and amazing to work with. After placing my order he called to go over a few details and to make sure the size I ordered was right for my height. - Being 5’2” I bought the smallest size, the 48cm, and it is perfect. I can stop and put my feet on the ground without bruising any sensitive body parts.
The bike arrived within a week of placing the order ( I live in New England and it ships from California). Assembly is fairly easy, video instructions are on the website, tools are included, it is just the seat, handlebars, pedals, and front wheel that need to be put on. If you don’t have a bike stand to secure it to, I’d recommend having a second set of hands to help hold it still.
Now to the best part! This bike is light and fast! The craftsmanship is perfection. Shifting, braking, and the ride are so smooth, AND the saddle is soft and flexible enough that it does not feel like you’re sitting on a rock, which I love (because what’s the point of a rock-hard seat if you have to buy padded pants? - again, I have always ridden mountain bikes so that is an odd thing to me).
I am very pleased with my bike! Absolutely no complaints!
10/10 recommend!

Unmatched Customer Service, quality and affordable products.

About a month ago I received some concerning health results. As a result of this, I started exercising more. I love cycling since I was a child. I own a hybrid bike that I still enjoy, but my endurance has surpassed its limitations. I decided on investing in a road bike. There are a million confusing options. By chance I had googled " American made bicycles". One of the results was HeartsBio. I read the owners profile on the webpage, and to my surprise his story of health was very similar to mine. I started off asking product questions. His replies were immediate through text and email at any hour. I became very interested in his passion for cycling. I went to his shop to see his bicycles. These are premium component bikes at an unbeatable price. I was very much turned off by typical bike shops and big box brands. Joseph spent almost an hour showcasing his bicycle for me with no interruptions. I went home and thought about other models and options. I kept coming back to the idea of a heartsbio bike.
You will not find another bicycle manufacturer with as much passion and enthusiasm as Joseph and Heartsbio. I pulled the trigger on a full carbon road bike from Heartsbio. The quality of the bike and components are world class. I felt so comfortable with the purchase when Joseph told me if I ever have any issues with the bike just come on by. I went to go pick up my bike today. Joseph was so generous and invested in my health that he provided a helmet, a weight scale, a food scale, tools and cycling socks. I don't know if this is the same for every customer purchase, but I was overwhelmed with a sense of satisfaction with my purchase. The bike is smooth as silk, and I would Definity say look into his products, meet the man, see his bikes, and judge for yourself. Absolutely amazing customer service.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to Hearts Bio Road bike.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to Hearts Bio Road bike which was my very first road bike purchase. And after much thought on how this was going to occur I ended up finding out about the HeartsBio road bike through my discovery phase of trying to find the best value, lightest and great looking bike. And this bike covers all those factors. I was in search of a carbon fiber frame with integrated cable system that was light. I got all that and then some with HeartsBio. I am so glad I made the purchase. If you are a first time bike enthusiasts or looking to get into biking this bike is great. Or if you are an experienced biker and want a great value of a road bike this is truly it. I have nothing negative to say except I wish I would have discovered this bike sooner. Thank you Hearts Bio!!!

This bike is awesome!

This bike is awesome! With the carbon frame/fork/seat post and other pieces, it's super light. It's lighter than my 6 year olds bike. Assembly is super easy, the twist of a few allen wrenches and you're almost done. Even the seat post is carbon, great components, I put carbon fiber clip in pedals for added control, it is so feakin' fast!! Super stoked! I've only been riding it for a few weeks now and I have it all dialed in. For a full carbon bike, you can't beat the price, I researched for months....and even after finding this one, I continued to research this bike and others to make sure this is it, the forever bike. And my legs feel like they are getting more of a workout now and I'm traveling almost twice a fast. Nothing but good vibes to HeartsBio for their help and attention to detail.

After much research & consideration,

After much research & consideration, I purchased the HeartsBio Carbon Frame Road Bike as my very first road bike and I'm so happy I did. Prior to purchase, I was in touch with the owner, Joseph, who kindly and promptly answered any questions I had prior to purchase. My main concern was to obtain a bike that was lightweight, minimal in design, and within my price point--the HB bike meets all these criteria. Upon arrival and quick assembly, I realized the seat post was too high for my geometry; however, Joseph quickly responded to my issue and he immediately sent a trimmed seat post (also carbon, btw) that would work for my height. Since then, I have ridden my bike all around NYC and beyond including completing my first century ride! Due to the light weight of the carbon frame, my average speed has increased significantly (versus the heavy hybrid I used to ride) and I feel I'm able to conquer steep inclines with greater ease while maintaining endurance for long distance rides. It's also worth mentioning the Shimano Sora group set shifts gears seamlessly. Wonderful bike through and through. Highly recommended. Thank you Joseph and HeartsBio!

This bike is super fast and light!

I was looking for a bike that is under 20 pounds.

I was looking for a bike that is under 20 pounds with reasonable price. During my research, I stumbled upon the Hearts Bio bike and had many questions. I called the customer line and Joseph was very helpful in answering my questions patiently. I order the bike on fri and it was delivered on wed. I could not be happier with the bike. Easy to assemble, very light and fast. If you want a light bike with reasonable price, I would highly recommend this bike for fitness needs. Excellent value.

What an amazing bike.

What an amazing bike. I have mentioned time and time again the professional care and customer service that comes with this bike. This bike is by far the best bike I had the pleasure of riding and I did ride quite a few. Feather like weight ,superb handling , professional quality parts , I am sold. If you have any doubts about spending the money .Don't. This the best carbon bike on the market for the amount, period. Do yourself a favor and give them a chance . I can certain you won't be disappointed. Thank again guys, keep up the good work. Best regards Mike Quest

Once again

Once again, great customer service and attention to detail on the order/placement of the reflective, custom wheel decals. Check out the pics!

Great bike

Great bike, color, awesome custom decal option, and the customer service has been impeccable. This is my 2nd road bike to own but first carbon frame. While there was some issue with the Sora shifting being out of alignment that required lots of time learning about the set and the trimming function, but I have done several rides on it since and love it. Still a work in progress getting fitting adjustments done, waiting for new seat to be sent to me, and eventually I will swap out the Shimano Sora 18 for at least Shimano 105 20 speed. I look forward to putting a lot of miles on the bike the next couple of months.

This is a well-designed bike.

This is a well-designed bike. My wife likes the color and type of the frame. We decide to try and this is our first road bike. Very comfortable and we just used it to finished a 80 miles round trip. We will use it daily when weather and schedule work. Excellent customer service and thank you so much Kim!

I have been riding a hybrid for a while and wanted to get back on a road bike.

I have been riding a hybrid for a while and wanted to get back on a road bike. I met Joseph through a Facebook cycling group and started reading about his company, Hearts Bio. I so connected with his mission for his company. While I was visiting my son in Cali, I stopped by to meet Joseph and test rode the bike. I loved it…it was lightweight and a great ride. I rode it the entire week in California and he then shipped it to NJ where I live. I am very happy with my purchase . Joseph is very knowledgeable and absolutely so accommodating to your every need. I highly recommend the carbon frame road bike ( the color is awesome) and doing business with Joseph in Corona.

So... I'm not going to lie

So... I'm not going to lie, I was pretty nervous picking out my very first road bike but I stumbled across Hearts Bio and felt that nervousness dissipate. I instantly fell in love with the color scheme and look of the bike (of course). Then I dug deeper and found everything Hearts Bio offers - what a great company! They truly care about your health and well-being. I received the bike rather quickly - it was easy to assemble and I was so excited about the custom decals “#EndCervicalCancer.” I could still advocate while biking. The bike is beautiful, fits my height/stature, and is exactly what I was looking for. My dog Sassy even enjoys coming along for rides. It even graced the campground and city of Moab, UT earlier this month. Customer service is incredible, thank you Joseph for everything!
