America's #1 Heart Risk & How You Can Prevent It

from The School of Greatness · host Lewis Howes

Heart disease kills 20 million people worldwide each year, yet most people fear cancer more than the real threat silently building in their arteries. Dr. Jeremy London, a heart surgeon with 25 years of experience and over 6,500 heart surgeries under his belt, shares the raw truth about what lands people on his operating table. His personal wake-up call came at age 55 when he needed his own heart procedure, leading him to quit alcohol and transform his entire approach to health. The most vulnerable moment comes when he describes losing patients - something that still keeps him awake at night after decades of surgery. We discuss life-saving insights for anyone who wants to protect their heart before it's too late, with specific action steps that could prevent you from becoming another statistic.Sign up for Dr. London’s FREE newsletterThe Dr. Jeremy London PodcastIn this episode you will learn:Why obesity and poor diet create the perfect storm for heart disease and how to break the cycleThe shocking truth about vaping that's sending healthy young adults to the ICU on life supportHow "broken heart syndrome" can literally cause your heart to fail after emotional traumaThe three pillars that reduce cardiovascular events by over 50% (and why most people ignore them)Why alcohol might be the next cigarettes and how quitting transformed a heart surgeon's lifeFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1803For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Dr. Rhonda Patrick – greatness.lnk.to/1707SCDr. William Li  – greatness.lnk.to/1410SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get More From Lewis!
