In today's episode, Dr. Jeremy London, board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, breaks down the most common cholesterol question he gets: how do you actually lower your ApoB? He explains why ApoB predicts cardiovascular risk better than LDL-C, why insulin sensitivity is the through line connecting sugar, saturated fat, fiber, muscle, and body weight, and what to do when you've done everything right and your numbers still won't budge.

After decades working in men's health, one thing is clear: most of what determines how long and how well men live comes down to understanding the body, knowing where the risks are, and acting on them early enough to make a difference.

In this episode I cover risks across cardiovascular health, mental health, the screenings most men put off, and what building a genuine foundation for long term health actually looks like for you and the people around you.

After 25 years and thousands of open-heart surgeries, one truth stands above everything: I can save your life, but I can't live it for you. The decisions that determine how long and how well you live happen daily, at home, not in my operating room.

In this episode, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London shares the 11 most important lessons his career in medicine has taught him, the ones that weren't in the textbooks, that med school got wrong, or that science has completely overturned since he qualified.

What you'll learn:

Why atherosclerosis starts in children, and what that means for how you manage heart disease risk today

The truth about cholesterol, why LDL alone doesn't tell the full story (and the two markers most doctors never check: ApoB and Lp(a))

Why chronic inflammation is the silent driver behind nearly every major disease

The surprising fact that exercise is the most powerful supplement on the planet, and why sitting all day cancels your workout

Why it's never too late to start, the cardiovascular improvements possible in your 70s and 80s

Why food is medicine, and what ultra-processed food is quietly doing to your gut, brain, and heart

How sleep protects your cardiovascular system, hormones, and memory, and what happens when you cut it short

The link between mental health and physical health, including why loneliness is as dangerous as smoking

Why the physician-patient relationship remains the single most powerful tool in medicine

Most longevity conversations focus on two things: living longer (lifespan) and living healthier (healthspan). But there's a third pillar almost nobody talks about. 

In this video, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London introduces timespan, the science of how you experience the time you have. Why does a year at 50 feel shorter than a summer at 7? Why do we reach our deathbeds feeling like we "just blinked"? And what can we actually do about it?

In this episode, Dr. London breaks down:

The Proportional Theory of Time, the mathematical reason why time speeds up as you age (and why you've already lived half your "felt" life by 17 or 18)

The neuroscience of episodic memory, how your brain decides what gets recorded in 4K vs. what gets skipped

The Reminiscence Bump: Why ages 15–25 feel richest in memory, and how to recreate that density

3 levers to reclaim your time perception: Flow, Presence, and Purpose

Most people think healthy living means getting it perfect every day. After 25 years as a cardiovascular surgeon, I can tell you that mindset is exactly what's keeping people stuck.

Real life doesn't pause for your health goals. Sick kids. Late mornings. A meal grabbed on the run - again. In this episode, I'm talking about something nobody in medicine wants to admit: the gap between what we tell patients to do and the life they actually have to live.

Because here's what I've learned from the operating table - your health story isn't written in a single day. The ledger stays open. And every choice you make today, imperfect as it may be, is still a vote for the person you're becoming.

This isn't about letting yourself off the hook. It's about staying engaged, staying attentive, and understanding that tomorrow is always another opportunity to cast a different vote.

Most people think needing medication means they've failed. After 25 years as a cardiovascular surgeon, I think that mindset is putting lives at risk, including my own. In this episode, I'm stories I rarely talk about: a patient who did everything "right”, and the moment I ignored my own warning signs as a heart surgeon. Both of us had the same blind spot and it almost cost everything. The truth is lifestyle is powerful. But it's not everything. And refusing medication when your biology demands it isn't discipline...it's a dangerous gamble.
