Show Notes
In this episode, Dr. Jeremy London—a cardiovascular surgeon with over 25 years of experience—shares his journey from treating end-stage disease to embracing a preventative, holistic approach centered on nutrition, functional medicine, and lifestyle. Prompted by burnout and a near-fatal heart event despite a healthy lifestyle, he discusses how food as medicine, functional medicine training, and biomarker tracking (like CGMs and A1C) helped him redefine his health philosophy. He emphasizes that everyone needs to find their own sustainable, data-informed nutritional plan—whether it’s whole foods, keto, vegan, or another approach—and that real health change comes not just from knowledge but from action, accountability, and self-awareness.
