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.

In today's podcast episode, we discuss the basics of a treatment plan and how protocols are established. We walk through the current treatment modalities for coronary artery disease (CAD), valvular disease (aortic stenosis and regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation), and electrical abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation (Afib). My goal with this podcast is to give you a general understanding, so you don't have to hear about these treatment processes for the first time in a doctor's office.
