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.</p><p><a href="https://www.drjeremylondon.com/newsletter" target="_blank">Sign up for Dr. London’s FREE newsletter</a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dr-jeremy-london-podcast/id1804199832" target="_blank">The Dr. Jeremy London Podcast</a></p><p>In this episode you will learn:</p><ul><li>Why obesity and poor diet create the perfect storm for heart disease and how to break the cycle</li><li>The shocking truth about vaping that's sending healthy young adults to the ICU on life support</li><li>How "broken heart syndrome" can literally cause your heart to fail after emotional trauma</li><li>The three pillars that reduce cardiovascular events by over 50% (and why most people ignore them)</li><li>Why alcohol might be the next cigarettes and how quitting transformed a heart surgeon's life</li></ul><p>For more information go to <a href="https://lewishowes.com/1803" target="_blank">https://lewishowes.com/1803</a></p><p>For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960</p><p>More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:</p><p>Dr. Rhonda Patrick – <a href="http://greatness.lnk.to/1707SC" target="_blank">greatness.lnk.to/1707SC</a></p><p>Dr. William Li  – <a href="http://greatness.lnk.to/1410SC" target="_blank">greatness.lnk.to/1410SC</a></p><p>Glucose Goddess – <a href="http://greatness.lnk.to/1575SC" target="_blank">greatness.lnk.to/1575SC</a></p> <p></p><p>Get more from Lewis! </p><p><a href="https://lewishowes.com/money" target="_blank">Get my New York Times Bestselling book, <i>Make Money Easy</i>!</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1jWO57cwx0cXxHEwbfw85j?si=b570febb9a234e9f" target="_blank">Get The Greatness Mindset audiobook on Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://greatness.lnk.to/chat" target="_blank">Text Lewis AI</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/lewishowes" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lewishowes/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="http://lewishowes.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lewis" target="_blank">Tiktok</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lewishowes/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/LewisHowes" target="_blank">X</a></p>
