Heart disease kills 20 million people worldwide each year, yet most people fear cancer more than the real threat silently building in their arteries. 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.
