The Dr. London Podcast

How would you change your behavior if you knew you already had heart disease?

I’m Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, and in this podcast, I want you to understand that you do - because we all do. Yes, genetic factors play a massive role in the development of the disease, but your own understanding, decision-making, and habits can be similarly impactful. So don’t fear atherosclerosis - embrace it.

In today's podcast episode, Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, exposes the truth about modern medicine: your doctor can save you, but they can't heal you. The healthcare system does a great job of getting you out of trouble, but struggles to identify the root cause of disease. Ultimately, only you can heal yourself.
