Show Notes
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.
