Show Notes
In today's podcast episode, Dr. Jeremy London, board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, talks about 5 metrics everyone should know to help assess their risk for heart disease. He breaks down five important health markers—like blood pressure, APOB/Lp(a), body composition, and fitness—that provide insight into your cardiovascular health and long-term risk. These numbers don’t diagnose disease on their own, but together they help paint a clearer picture, allowing you to take proactive steps through lifestyle changes and early intervention to tip the odds in your favor.
